The TV is a 55XH9296. Its only a couple of months old and well within its 5 year warranty. Sony support have been dealing with various issues and I guess it will get fixed but I'm trying to understand what could be causing my problems.
Problem 1 is a narrow horizontal screen flicker on the lower half of the screen which is momentary but is now happening about once a minute. It happens using the built in freeview tuner, when watching TV through my PVR tuner which is connected to the TV through HDMI 1 and also watching catchup TV with BBC iPlayer which is obviously streamed. It doesn't seem to happen when streaming Amazon Prime or Youtube, which is the bit I don't understand. Why is this different from streaming BBC iPlayer?
Problem 2 is momentary audio dropouts when playing audio through my Marantz AV receiver. This happens when playing audio via ARC HDMI 3 or via digital optical. I'm sure this isn't an AV receiver issue as it works fine with other TV sets and it works flawlessly with input from Blu-Ray player.
I also had a major problem with the TV rebooting 3 times a day after a software update but that has been ok after settings changes recommended by Sony.
Thanks.
