Re: Easy Updates

"How easy is it for any user to update the software on these devices?"

It could and can be super easy.

My Sony TV has downloaded updates in the background and installed them when the TV was not in use. A couple times it has also prompted that there is an update waiting - asking whether it should be installed immediately or when the TV is turned off. For consumer stuff like this there should be automatic updates turned on with an option to turn them off, not the other way around.
