My first foray into Android tv on this Sony Bravia. Out of the box, it's littered with featured apps which I cant seem to re-order or manipulate. I see a guide on disabling sony shelf and sony something else to get rid of the crap.
The only problem is under "apps" I only see Google branded stuff. I cant figure out how to add Netflix, Hulu, Vue, HBO, SHO, Starz, etc to this section. If I go to settings menu I can find them and launch them but not ideal obviously.
I'm assuming this is because I turned off the Sony services. Any tips/tricks to get a clean interface?
I've been struggling with this a bit as well. For some reason if you install an app that is in the "featured apps" row it will not show up in "your apps". Instead you will have to launch them from the "Featured apps" section. I have reported this to a few Sony reps and they're looking into it at the moment, because this wasnt the case before the AndroidTV 6.0.1 update. If I hear something about it I'll let you know.
Edit: Just remembered you can use the "Discover" button on the remote while not in the home menu itself and configure your own "My Apps" row below the netflix and youtube row. Here you can add your own apps and only the ones you want. Might make it a bit easier for now.
