I bought my tv from a Hisense sale. As it was a demo there was no remote. I bought an all for one universal remote from takealot. Been working 100% fine for my use case.

Found it. It's out of stock that's why it didn't show up.

Is there a firmware update for the TV.
Noticed it updated, but it seems like the VIDAA updated.

What changes are there for the TV's firmware update
 
I can't even use the built in apps anymore because hdmi1 doesn't work therefore arc doesn't work.

So have basically lost out on Dolby vision

No native Dolby vision on TV apps and Dolby Atmos through arc.

They call me now to say repair will be fine in warranty by end of the week. Let's see what happens.

How is no Dolby Vision on the built in apps linked to HDMI 1? I thought that you would just lose Dolby Atmos because of ARC not being available.
 
Because I cant use my av equipment sonwahts the point of watching Dolby vision without my full Atmos setup

Your initial post was stated " I can't even use the built in apps anymore because hdmi1 doesn't work therefore arc doesn't work. So have basically lost out on Dolby vision"

If you're still able to watch Dolby Vision content on your TV how have you lost out? Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision are 2 separate. If something is available in HDR Dolby Vision format it does not mean it also has Dolby Atmos sound. What about the majority of Dolby Vision material thats out there that does not have Dolby Atmos sound? Have you lost out on that as well or only on Dolby Atmos content because you dont have ARC available?

Remember that there are non techie people also reading these comments so if your ARC port doesnt work, you can still use all the built in streaming apps as normal but you just wont be able to pass high fidelity sound through to your home theater/sound bar set up.
 
The point is I can't watch DV content using TV speakers. There is zero point to that. So the function is basically useless as everything needs to run through the receivr

If it's new out the box there should be 1 update it'll pick up immediately. If you look around the thread there's a 2nd one that must be installed manually.

So you can watch DV content, it will just look great and sound kak. But then by that same logic, anything including non-DV content will also look good and sound kak. So you're saying your entire TV is now useless, not just DV. Right?

The Q8600 has Optical, Aux and Bluetooth as well. Can you not connect to your receiver via any of those IF YOUR TV SPEAKERS ARE USELESS?
