YouView - How it Works

[Anonymous]

Hello all

You have probably seen the announcement from Sony stating that YouView will go live on 4th November on certain 2015 TVs.  See article HERE for information.

There are many questions you all have, so I thought id post some screen shots taken from HERE

Also see Sony's Online Guide:

Thanks for info, do you know whether the Youview app will work with the tv? Cheers

Pity I don't have an aerial in the back of my TV. I only have HDMI.

Will this be available to pre 2015 models too?

@mk1.golf.1983 and @f1racer2006 - YouView will only be enabled for 2015 Android TVs.

@honktonk - even though you purchased your TV this year, it is still a 2014 model as well as not being Android based.

My Bravia is Model No. KDL-32EX403. I use a Sony dongle to connect to my wi-fi system. What do I need to do to get Youview?

Either a new Sony TV (2015 model with Google operating system) or buy a Youview box.

Hi all

How do I uninstall/disable this Youview app if say I was unhappy with the slow ui and no programme reminder? Not only does it knock out satellite services but also the standard freeview guide, which was quick and had programme reminder.  The only benefit I can see is you have all the on demand players well not quite all of them 'ay.
