Netflix freezing / crashing - Sony KD-55X7052

Model: KD-55X7052

Software: v8.885-1000-2.650-0002

Hi All,

I've only had my TV a few months and have experienced Netflix freezing quite often. It seems to be happening when opening the app or when browsing. Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions?

Additional rant:

I spoke to a Sony rep in currys before purchasing this TV, as I had reservations about the non android OS. According to him, though basic, the non android OS was supposed to be less buggy and smoother to use. I have to say, in comparison to my other smart tv (Samsung), the software on this TV has been quite disappointing - laggy / slow. Also, the sound on this tv is shocking...bass is non existent.

Try fetching the latest updates for all apps (under Settings - System Settings - Set-up - Network - Refresh Internet Content). If that doesn't work, update your TV to the latest version (v8.902).

Hi I’m replying to this message as I have the same tv and can’t get ITV hub. Is there a way that I can on this tv?

Better asked in a new thread, but never mind.

You can’t add apps to Linux TVs like this one; what they come with is all you ever get 😢

Also, the itv Hub’s days are numbered, and it is being replaced by itvX.

But the timing of your query is perfect; Black Friday is upon us, and Amazon Firesticks and Roku streamers are well discounted at the moment. Buy one of these, and plug it into a spare HDMI input on the TV, and you will have access to up to date versions of every app that matters, and countless others ~~that don’t~~ that cater for niche tastes.

The contention will cause this on your broadband speed. You need to upgrade the speed of the internet conection.
