Just curious to how similar the two are, because I'd really like to know where my gripes and usability complaints lie, are they with Sony or Google.

For example: Use this as a reference https://www.sony.com/electronics/smart-tv-features-apps-and-internet?utm_source=US&utm_medium=YT&utm_campaign=SVP&utm_content=16tvux

That bottom list is for apps, on mine I have two sections Apps and Featured Apps; if an app is featured it gets removed from the apps list. However there is no way to sort the Featured apps so things like Plex are constantly way off the screen and no way to introduce a very minimalistic set of apps. I cannot figure out any combinations of settings to get the main screen how I would like.

But I don't know if this is a Sony problem, or an Android TV problem.
