Comments on Android TV Core Services for Android

★★★★★ Elliot Mihai · Aug 29, 2021

Updating this app did not cause any ads to appear on the home screen of my Sony TV. Ads placed on my home screen were instead controlled by the Android TV Home app as part of the "Cinematic Highlights" update. If, like me, you were appalled by this, I recommend you uninstall the Android TV Home app, disable auto-updates, and write an appropriate review on the Android TV Home app page. I hope that by not having the latest update for the Android TV Home app, my experience has not actually been different to what others have described, but otherwise, performance updates will always welcome. I honestly considered the Android TV OS a great experience before ads were pushed on loyal consumers. You can still do the right thing, Google.

Sony xh91 also known as xh85 (49") The On Timer cant open live tv and catch up (you view), it only opens the normal free view play, kind of annoying to keep switching between the two free view services when all I want is you view my sony 2015 tv was able to open you view on the On timer without issue Also the free view play tv guide menu (not the you view one) is annoying that it opens a program information screen instead of just going to the channel, should be option to disable that extra menu so I can just scroll through and choose channel, and it goes to it without the extra fuss

★☆☆☆☆ Eric Warthan · Aug 21, 2020

Has been updated to include advertising that cannot be turned off. Android TV now has compulsory advertising on the home screen. My Sony TV uses Android TV as its operating system. This is a complete violation of trust. Google has gone too far in invading people's homes. This is my TV, I paid a lot of money for it, and I own it, and I have the right to use it as it was sold to me by Sony.

★☆☆☆☆ Edward Ballard-Sholly · Sep 3, 2020

Android TV now has large ads across the top of it's home screen. There is no way to disable these ads, and they take up a huge portion of the screen real estate. Google should at least give us a way to opt out in the settings.
