Bravia 8 stuttering since Firmware 114.602.030.1 update

[baz8755]

I have been using my Bravia 8 65" for over a year on the same settings and it has been perfect. However a couple of weeks ago it updated to the firmware with the new EPG without channel logos.

Since then the image on quite often starts to stutter. This can be seen on OTA transmissions through the antenna and on inputs.

When using the antenna it will often begin to get jerky/stutter and I can change channel and change back again and it will be fine for a while but sometimes comes back again.

I have checked all my image settings and they have not changed.

It would appear this new version of firmware has broken things and many people on AVS forum, Reddit & Facebook are reporting similar issues.

I also initially thought update 114.603.100.1EUA (installed 24.09.2026) had resolved the issue but then found that picture jerkiness and motion blur returned. In one case, watching ITV+1, it was the worse I'd every seen.

Yes, I have the same issues with the program guide on Freesat but the pictures seem fine.

I also use the program guide with the TV app or YouView to what is available, and then switch it through to Freesat to watch
