My new Sony had to reboot 3 times before it was actually ready to watch. 
Very odd.

  Funny. I have no idea what you are talking about.

  "Sony" is a company. "Reboot" is something you do to computers.
"Watching..." hmm, you watch movies. I suppose computers can be used
to watch movies. Does Sony make computers? They make consoles, which
are computers that can be rebooted (at least hard-booted).

  Are you talking about a PS3? Watch what?

46" actually. The condo isn't that big.

But yah, the new Sony Bravia.  You turn it on, it bounces around a bit, says 
"Hey, I'm a 46" TV!  I'm gonna go black now to finish configuration of the 
hardware..."   It then reboots. Then it says "Hey, do the initial setup, 
including telling me your network settings and all."  Then it says "Thanks 
for the configuration! Now I'm gonna reboot!"   Then it comes back and says 
"Hey, there's new firmware, do you want it?"  10%...30%...100%... "I'm gonna 
reboot to install the firmware!"

Sorry. Sony TV.  Had it been an actual computer or game system or something, 
it would have been par for the course. But a TV? :-)

Oh, and it also has trouble responding promptly to user input for half a 
minute after you turn it on, with menus scrolling inconsistently and remote 
keystrokes getting queued.

It's getting to the point where our consumer electronics is just as bad as 
our sophisticated and flexible computers.
