Just got a sony a90j model upgrade from ag9 and I hate it no longer can I remove Google play TV i can't remove viki either these are just a waste of space I may use viki but I will never use Google play TV how do I get rid of it it doesn't even feel like a sony tv it feels like a Google TV the Google logo permanently in the corner it's just too much
If it works anything like Chromecast with Google TV parts of Google TV are built on top of Google Play Movies and TV so there is no removing it.
Try uninstalling the last update on the Android TV Home app @ settings > apps > all apps > system apps > Android TV Home. Also make sure you disable auto-update in Google Play Store account settings. Othewise it will just update again.
Edit: Corrected Android TV Launcher @ Android TV Home.
HALauncher....
And while you are at it, let google know how much you dislike the update here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tvlauncher
I strongly suggest you to do the same with Sony
