Hi  there,

Welcome to the Sony Community.

Can you try downloading the update using a USB storage device, and let me know how you get on?

Best wishes,

Hi @dakuq1

This is a customer to customer community so don't expect any answers direct from Sony.

From what I can gather you have two choices 1) perform a manual update using a USB stick or 2) wait for the internet stream to be updated which could take a few more months. To get an estimate of when that will happen you need to contact your regional support centre. In the UK the contact information can be found here https://services.sony.co.uk/supportmvc/en/Contact/Email?cpint=spt-footer_contact
