Sony BDV-E2100 Questions

colt.simpson — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 12:16:08 GMT

Hello,

I have a few questions about my recent purchase of the Sony BDV-E2100, firstly:

Why does the Sony Entertainment Television say it is 'currently offline'? It has been like this for a couple of days.

Secondly:

Can I get NowTV on my cinema system?

Lastly:

Can anyone recommend any good apps to get on my system?

Thanks

Hi there

Question 1:

Can you try the following:

Turn off your ISP's router (leave off the 2 minutes, and switch on again)
Whilst you are waiting, perform a factory reset of the BDV-E2100
Once you have re-setup the Bluray player again, and your ISP's router is connected to the internet, perform a Network Update.
All "should" work after that

Question 2:

The NowTV App is not available at this present time. You could always contact Sky in regards to this, and see whether they have any intentions of NowTV on Sony Bluray players.

Question 3:

Ill leave this up to someone else. But this is really personal choice, experiment a bit and find out what you like.

Cheers

Hi there colt.simpson

An appology from me here for the un-necessary factory reset of your bluray player.

I have just tested the application on my TV (2011 model) and I also have the same problem. Therefore it seems to be currently down at the moment. I;ll see if I can report this issue

Thank you very much for your patience!

Cheers

Thanks for that, I've had this problem since I first got the system. Which was Christmas Day, surely it can't be down for this long a time with no one else reporting it?

Now that, is a really good question. As far as I am aware, you are the first to report in - Congratulations

I have just sent a message to someone at Sony, so hopefully when he will shed some light on this.

Unfortuately at this moment, there is no ETA on a resolution.

Hi there

Yes, I have just tested my Sony Entertainment Television icon, and it is still down. Im curious on something though - last time I looked into it, it wasnt very good (as in quality of content) - So was there something that you was wanting to watch on it?

Can I confirm that you are able to access and use the other applications, like iPlayer/Lovefilm/YouTube etc - which is part of the Sony Entertainment Network. Just asking because you sound quite frustrated for what I would call a "secondary application" and are curious if you mean SEN instead (of which is working)

Cheers

Ref Sony Entertainment Television being permanently offline, I've got the same problem on a TV. Did you sort your problem out, if so, how?

May I ask if this is affecting everyone and all Sony devices, or can some people out there get it?

Thanks for trying to get an answer out of Sony.

I've just had a reminder from Sony Support asking me to send the details of my problem. This I've re-sent, reminding them that I sent the info on 24 Jan 4 and, having heard nothing, repeated it on 28 Jan 14.

Given their complete inability to respond to either you or me, I did ask whether they've completley given up on Sony Entertainment Television?

Hi there

I can confirm that this issue (Sony Entertainment Television) has been raised with Sony. But basically the low down is this:

Sony UK/EU have no control over this application, and also have no information in regards to when or even IF it will come back at all. Unfortunately the only real answer I can give is to basically take it that this application is "dead". I know that is not the answer that you want, but thats all I have.

On a more personal note, before the SET app went offline - there really wasnt much content of use on it at all to be honest - just a couple of series of a couple of old tv shows.

Cheers.
