I just got a Sony flagship television with Google Android TV.
I'm fully expecting it to be automatically broken by a software update about 1-3 months after the warranty expires and the new models are released. I plan to disable updates around 1 year in to mitigate this risk.
Think about what it says about the entire industry that this is what customers expect: multi-thousand-dollar products being purposefully remotely broken by the vendors.

- sudo_chmod777 4y agoSame boat. Sony has great embedded software engineering power but they are just not that good at these upper layer applications. Look at PS Store web, it's a hot mess. PS App is also terrible. Xperia has some fancy photography/videography apps and that's it. But that also means you get zero of the LG/Samsung nonsense.
