Will there be a native for Sony Android TV?

Hello,

 

I'm using the casting function to my Sony Android TV. Will there be a fully fledged app for it?

 

Thanks.

No native support for NowTV yet, however the inbuilt Chromecast works well
and is quite convenient.

Thanks for the info, I'll ween little one off the paid kids TV. Sky one appears to be Simpsons reruns and James Corden (can't stand)

I'm signed up for beta so feel free to contact me when you are ready to support an OS which has been integrated in to to of the range TVs for years now. It's not hard to add leanback support to an existing Android app 😉

Chromecast is a bit of a pain to teach a four year old to use

I want to add my +1 to this, the Chromecast app isnt really any good as it requires you to have the mobile you have paired with your TV next to you at all times... which isn't really practical if you want to go out and leave someone else with the TV.

 

I am sick of having tons of remotes, and really given that Android TV is being added to multiple manufacturers devices it is really time for a native app on the platform.

 

PLEASE PLEASE NOW TV, can we have a native app, I'll buy you sweets if you provide one, i promise Smiley Very Happy

@Anonymous User I have used an old phone previously to control Chromecast. One with no sim.

You support a now tv app for other smart TV's so why not for Sony?
LG android TV's have your app and Sony is a much more established brand.
Sony have said they are waiting for now tv to provide the app so what are you guys waiting for?

Hi @Anonymous User,

 

Just-so-you-know... LG televisions don't run the on the Android operating system. And neither do Samsung televisions.
