It’s really crazy to think that these days, your television will require firmware update to patch bugs and add new features where just a few years ago, once you left the retailer, that was your TV. But that’s just me being nestologic and I’m only 25 so I think I need to stop. Onto the news! Via Sony’s support site, Sony is releasing a new firmware update (PKG3.121AAA) for their just released Bravia XBR-HX929. The new firmware which comes in at 63mb is designed to add, fix, and enhance the following:

• Adds the ability to use the Skype® online calling service
• Adds the “What’s New” feature
• Media Remote (Software keyboard, Full / Simple Remote and Shake Track ID)
• VAIO® Remote Keyboard
• Media Remote (text by voice)
• Audio Theatre Control Widget
• WMV/WMA Codec for DLNA / USB
• 3D on IPTV and USB for NX and above
• Improves performance and stability of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) features.
  Note: IPTV allows you to enjoy HD (High Definition) programming from the Internet on your BRAVIA television that is connected to a broadband Internet connection.
