SMP-N100 Not upgrading firmware

Hi guys.

I just bought a media player, the SMP-N100. I love Sony's design and despite the lack of formats I decided to get this. Everything else was too ugly and I like sony''s interface and remote capabilities, I have other sony products so for me this is a big plus, the iPhone App is also nice.

I've been trying to upgrade the system firmware  as instructed by the player. I get a network erroe saying that the gateway is not respondng. It makes no sense to me. I'm watching Youtube playlists with no issues, I checked other services and they are active as well, no idea why this is happening, any help?

I also can't see Sony BIV or Qriocity, or Lovemovies.com or for that matter any widget at all!!! No facebook, no news, no twitter. Very bad.. This I paid for and I'm not getting, is it because of the upgrade not happening and my firmware doesn't have this things?

I am in Russia, I know there are way less services available here, but I saw the video in the russian site, in russia of whatthis offers and it offers much more, at leas some other channels, BIV and the WIDGETS, they don't exist at all in my player.

By they way, I registered with Sony and the only thing that gave me was the Berlin Filarmoniker.

Please help!

Josh

Hi - bit strange if you are online yet unable to update the firmware. You can always download it manually and update it via USB.

Contenet services vary massively depending on your location. I'm not clear on the specific Russian content lineup - you may be better asking the Russian boards that question or calling your local Sony helpline who should be able to advise. But lovefilm for example is quite a specific Uk/German/Nordic service and there are no facebook or twitter widgets on the N100

Thanks
