Just got prompted to install the new update on my 2015 Sony android tv 65 inch. Anyone know what's new?

Things I noticed after updating:

  1. Twitch app streams are black. This is resolved by not choosing 'Auto' for streaming quality.

  2. Some sort of crapware called 'samba tv' wants to be installed. I just said 'no'.

I would definitely decline the samba stuff https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/12/users-report-sony-android-tv-nougat-update-adds-targeted-ads.html

Overall responsiveness seems much better and revised menu layout is more coherent

Got the update on a 2017 TV (USA).

Security patch level went from December ‘17 to January ‘18. Didn’t get a prompt for Samba. Nothing else new as far as I can see.

I faced a similar message on my Sony Android TV but I didn't bother at first. The second time around when I got to it, the message or prompt didn't show up again. Since then it's all good.
