Software Update not compatible with tv streaming apps

My Sony Bravia TV updated yesterday and is no longer compatible with TV streaming apps - I get this message when I try to open BBC iplayer  

your device isn't compatible with this version 

I get the same message for ITVX and all the other TV apps

Might be helpful if you tell us which Sony TV you have.

You should be able to get the full model number from the Settings> Help & feedback> Help menu.

Also include the version of software your TV updated to.

 

Did the TV restart after it installed the software.

Have you restarted the TV since the update.

Have you performed a power cycle, that is power the TV down, unplugging it from the mains.

Waiting two minutes and then plugging in and power up.

Have you tried restarting your router.

If a software update is not compatible with TV streaming apps on your Sony device, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:

  1. Check for Newer Updates: Sometimes, compatibility issues are fixed with newer updates. Go to Settings > System > Software Update to ensure your TV is running the latest version.
  2. Reinstall Apps: Uninstall and then reinstall the streaming apps causing issues. This can help reset app compatibility with the updated software.
  3. Clear Cache: Go to Settings > Apps and clear the cache for the affected apps.
  4. Factory Reset: If issues persist, perform a factory reset (Settings > System > Reset > Factory Data Reset), though this will erase all your settings.
