hi all , anyone know when firmware v6.287 (oreo)  for 2015/2016 tvs is going to be released for europe ? its already been released for asia/pacific, thanks

This is surprising news, thought Sony had abandoned and forgot these models forever. 

So let's wait for the EU firmware, I'm also interested in the roadmap here.

Be aware when you do get the update that the ability to turn on or off  IPv6 is removed which may cause issues with network disconnects which means you will have to disable IPv6 on your router instead .

Yepp, following this as well... I wonder if it goes to install the Asian firmware on European models from 2015 (mine is KD-55X8505C), will the European TV recognize the downloaded Asian firmware on an USB-stick and start installing? I don't dare to do it myself, afraid of bricking my TV 🙂 If anyone has done it earlier, could be good to know...

loll i alredy tried it , dosent work, says cannot update using this device 

[brandnewidol]

Aahhh, good to know. Thanks for trying and letting us know!

Fingers crossed then that we'll get it in Europe as well, although pessimistic...

We have 2 kdl-50w800c have updated them both to Oreo here in NZ , has made a big difference to performance , I cant see why they would not release this everywhere .
