I believe there are two models of this set 32 and 40 inch. I have the 32 inch
Internet connection
I don't have the Sony dongle. I tried a Belkin wifi dongle but it didn't work.
I tried to share my wifi through Internet connection sharing through Ethernet on a win 7 laptop. Didn't work. On a mac it worked but I couldn't see media server on my widows network.
I bought a pair of devolo dlan 500 av plus homeplugs. Worked immediately. No problems at all.
Media server
Tried lots. Twonky/windows media player/Serviio. By far the easiest was serviio. On a win 7 machine no configuration. Found a Bravia 2011 profile automatically. No problems with Streaming. With transcoding on mkv files play. Some avi files with AC3 don't seem to play via USB or streaming.
Picture settings

HD content are acceptable but SD content is blurred with noticeable motion blur. When options is pressed and the screen goes smaller the quality is very good. But blown to full screen the image seems washed out and flattened.
If anyone has alternative picture settings that are good for freeviewSD please post.
