Never been happy with the google tv since buying it last year but recently there was an Oreo update.

Since then the tv crashes more than I care to imagine, has anyone else had similar?

Have you performed a factory reset? If you have then get onto the Sony Support site/forum.

On off on off reset crash

Regardless it’s been as a result from their recent os upgrade. Since day one the performance of the screen is epic but I will never buy a google tv again. The Panasonic upstairs switches on instantly doesn’t suffer input lag from the remote, never crashes

Be interesting to hear if others have had issues

Sounds like it is stuck in some sort of reboot loop, definitely get onto Sony support.

I do wait for the software update to be out a while before thinking about updating, then all the problems get sorted out by others. Sony have pulled updates because they are causing problems.

Which model tv is it?

No idea it’s last years 4k thing not even sure on size it’s 50 I think

Pictures great but the OS is horrid. Prime is still jerky but Netflix and google films are fine

I disabled Samba to no avail

I have a very recently (last month) purchased AF9 which came with Oreo and thus far (touching wood) it's rock solid.

Definitely contact Sony support...not sure how fast a response you'll get though.

Don't have the Oreo upgrade in mine yet, but up to now it's been a great TV. Works fine. Try a reinstall of Oreo perhaps

How fast is your tv remote input.

If I press 107 I’m lucky to get the one at first attempt

I must admit I use Freesat, so I don't use the internal tuner, but it works fine for everything I do use it for
