Sony KDL-26EX320 (Bravia 2011) Demo of menu and EPG

This is a demonstration of the menus and using a Sony KDL-26EX320 (a Sony Bravia 2011 UK model). The tv is connected to the internet via the built in Wifi (N 300) but my router is only Wifi G. iPlayer etc are for UK only, Serviio is a free DLNA server with specific profiles for Sony TVs and Bluray players. Get it from Serviio.org, its free and works with WDTV, Asus O!play, PS3, Xbox360, Samsung, Toshiba to name a few and always adding more devices.

All the menus are very fast to operate, faster that 2010 models. iPlayer HD works for me over Wifi G but leaves no free bandwidth. You can record to a USB device e.g. HDD but note the set only has one digital tuner and contrary to main online shops and Sony UK website it does NOT have a Freeview HD tuner built in. The only slow part in the demo is the heavy graphics on iPlayer and BBC News website. The built in browser is based on Opera and does NOT support online videos as it has NO Adobe Flash support.

Features not shown but coming soon are Skype (no camera built in you'll need to add a supported camera). Android and iPhone remote control applications.

This is the 26" model but the 24" and 22" will work the same. Its likely all Sony 2011 range of tv will have this style of XMB menu. The is a LED backlit LCD hence the set is very thin as demonstrated in the video.
