KD-55AF9 and pay-tv HbbTV Hybrid Beta channels in Finland

taabari — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 08:44:05 GMT

In Finland some pay-tv channels changed 01.01.2020 to Hybrid Beta HbbTV channels and those require HbbTV version 2.0. At the moment it seems that Sony is only supporting HbbTV version 1.5.

Is this HbbTV 2.0 available after new softwareupdate?
