So i have a Xiaomi Mi Box S running on Android TV 9 and i pretty much still have the same launcher as the one from android tv 8.1 but other people has the new google tv like android tv launcher. But i didnt have it and i had no idea why, until i realized thats its prob just in the US, India and Europe. But i dont really know which countries support them. I used a VPN to connect to new york and i got the update but when i disconnect my vpn, it just reverts back to the old one. Im from the Philippines and prob havent got the update yet. Is there a release date table for other countries that i havent seen for the new launcher? or i just missed out on everything else, but i do get that its still pretty new. When i was using the launcher with a vpn. The UI is fluid and smooth. Is there like a problem with other streaming services cause of the new Discover tab for other countries. Cause i dont really know.
Google needs an agreement with streaming services for each country separately. It might take a while. I also don't have it in Europe. It's only in some European countries.
