If you are wanting to use the Sony as an iPlayer device, may be worth holding off at present.

Both my Sony TV and Bluray player are not working with iPlayer - all other online services including BBC News Channel are working. My Panasonic TV works just fine.

Investigating this further, looks like many Sony devices have been failing with BBC iPlayer over last few days. The URL that Sony are using appears to be the problem.

Hopefully BBC can fix at their end, but if not/unwilling, then its down to Sony to update their boxes.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out and if Sony do need to push an update, what will happen with their legacy devices.
