Android 8.0 Oreo/ 9.0 Pie

[zlays84]

Is it OK to expect Android Oreo on 2017 Sony Android TVs?

[stormyuk]

Looks like only the ATV3 TVs, even the 2019 XG9005 isn't on the list.

Edit: Looks like its the ATV3 TVs from 2019 and a couple of 2018 TVs in the US at least (Z9F and A9F).

Confirmation from Sony that 9Pie is on the way
Says it's in stages so other models may get it later also

There are two updates currently available from Sony (Timing dependant on locality)

One is is a small update to Android Oreo. (Only for a limited number of sets e.g. not my XG95)
The other is a large update from Oreo to Pie.
