Bravia 55x8500E time and date problem

I have a Sony tv KD55X8500E. After updating to last version, I have to set time and date manually every time I turn on the tv to connect to internet or else there will be no internet. How can I solve this problem. Thanks in advance

Hi paeyman,

 

Please change the time setting to "Network time" - this should solve the issue.

Hi Peyman

 

Does that only happen when you unplug the TV?

 

Do you find it disconnected from the internet when you switch it on? Does it require manually connecting to Wi-Fi again?

 

Have you tried setting to Broadcast time?

Hi Betreff
Thank you for your post. I wanna say that connections are ok and Tv is
successful in getting time and date from broadcast but not from network. So
I have to use an Antenna. Before update to new version I had correct time
and date which were sat by network.

I think a factory reset is worth trying if you're not satisfied with the current state of things.

 

Don't forget to mark as a solution if the issue is resolved :grin:

I posted this in another thread yesterday, hope this workaround can work here also.

Connecting a DVB-T antenna (Digitenne in the Netherlands) and  then set up the TV's digital channels using the Terrestial setting. In the Netherlands, the public channels are free to air, so the TV can use these channels to sync its clock with.

It took a few hours trying all these other fixes, i did not want to factory reset. Then i realised i had this old antenna stil laying around. Now all apps work again, YouTube, Prime and also the build in chromecast.
