Can you attach the following log files:

 - /var/log/syslog
 - /var/log/upstart/aethercast.log

I confirm this behaviour for bq M10 and Sony Bravia KDL-32W706B.
Both devices "see" each other. The Ubuntu tablet identifies the TV set as "BRAVIA KDL-32W706B" and the TV recognises the tablet as "ubuntu-phablet". After a time, there appears the same error message as in the screenshot here.

[Simon Fels (morphis)]

We've landed some important fixes in rc-proposed which will be released with OTA 13 which should improve the general device compatibility. Can you please retest with either current rc-proposed or OTA 13 when it is released?

[Alexey Kulik (doctor-rover)]

@Simon Fels, I have just retested it. Unfortunately, it's all the same. The UT device is bq M10 (rc-proposed/r186), TV: Sony Bravia KDL-32W706B.

I confirm this bug for the Sony Bravia XD-85
