What people report
Sony Bravia TVs work locally over a pre-shared key set in the TV, not a PIN.

| Sony Bravia KDL-49WD751 | Partly works Local | Needs PSK configured on TV, not PIN; connection refused otherwiseSaved copy… but before entering the pin, this is written to the log ... Exception: HTTPConnectionPool(host='192.168.1.65', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /sony/accessControl (Caused by NewConnectionError(' : Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused')) Using both Telnet and Test-NetConnection I am unable to open port 80 on my tv. Does this mean my tv (KDL-49WD751) doesn't offer the interface required by the custom component? Any and all help gratefully received.
