My KDL-32EX703 updated to PKG4.118EUL-0108 while in standby and iPlayer is working again. Thanks for the continued support for this TV. Hopefully Sony and the BBC will be able to test a pre-release of the next iPlayer update, so any changes to the client can be prepared in advance.
Not exactly sure when but mine updated and just checked it's the correct firmware now. Iplayer working fine.
Glad it's sorted but I would 2nd the comment above. Sony/BBC really should communicate with each other so proper testing is carried out. Remember we have paid for our TVs and a more than substantial subscription fee to the BBC.
Cheers
Yes, came back working again yesterday 24 June, all by itself.

I have a KDL 40HX803 and as of today the i-Player is still not working.
Where do I need to check my update. I am confused where to find it?
I downloaded the software patch and iplayer is up and running again. But it doesn't look any different from the previous version. While the tv service was down I was accessing it from my sony blueray player and the screens were all totally different. I assumed that was the new version? Or are the screens dependent on the connected equipment?

Hi there
The FW update was to address an issue with iPlayer itself. It was not an update to the application. The reason why iPlayer is different on your TV to your Bluray player is that the BBC has 100's of different versions of its iPlayer software application. In essence - each model device from each manufacturer has a different version. Different devices from different years may also look different too.
Hope that explains things.
Cheers
Thanks for the info, that clarifies things.
I understood the issue was due to BBC releasing a new version of iplayer so I was expecting to see something different 🙂

Hi, im one of the people that BBC Iplayer is it not working, I have an NX713 and I see there is an update to the tvs firmware to correct this problem, but my tv is set to automatic updates but it doesnt seem to update so im still running on PKG5.053. The TV updated originally not long after I bought it but nothing since, is there anyway to trigger a manual update to rectify the problem?
regards
Steve.
