Hi @stewartgordon4

If Support have told you that then that is probably the most

up to date information available at the moment.

You could always try checking back with Support every few weeks to see if there are

any updates.

On the download pages for the ZD9, it is stated that the current FW 6.2858 already supports the Sony DV profile. As a footnote Sony states that players need an update for it to work over HDMI as well. So the TV should already be capable of doing DV over HDMI if the player can do it. As far as I know this has already been confirmed for the Apple TV 4K (which received the respective update with tvOS 11.3).

Sony support is as useless as always...
