Today I can see a new firmware is available through TV settings.
But, I do not see this available for download and install from usb.
KD-55X8508C
I am about to take the risk... It's downloading and will reply as soon as it's updated.
I have the same problem, updated firmware no Netflix
Just updated to new firmware - took about 40 mins. Netflix working OK. Everything else seems to be working also.
Still not up on the website.
My KD-43X8305C was updated to PKG3.395.0105EUB. Netflix is working..!
For the people whos Netflix doesnt work, Sony has released an acknolagment statement,

Same issue, Netflix not working on a 55x8508C post upgrade
Initially my Netflix account didn't work but I kept retrying and after about 3 goes it worked.
When it logged on it flashed up in blue my Google account had linked it or something.
All seems to be working OK.
I think the fundamental thing with these TVs is to have a fast Ethernet connection. Don't relying on wifi.
Good luck!
Just downloaded the latest firmware for my KD-55X8509C and Netflix works fine. Also noticed that the series Marco Polo is in HDR!
I got it here in Finland to day, so you are not the only ones in UK.
