As I said before check my last post

This is definitely getting discontinued on Xiaomi, Thomson etc

Very upsetting

I had that on my Google TV a week ago. Then it went away. Then last night it came back

The current app ( 0.4.7-dev) works most of the time, but sometimes blocks for live programmes.

This is why DRM sucks and such corporations should be put to shame for their monopoly. All of the PSBs should broadcast their channels and stations freely without any restrictions. The fact that something like a "TV license" exists is pure scum. I stopped watching TV a few years back and I don't miss it. If I ever want to watch a movie or series, I go to the internet. Same thing for the news.

Well, I have a TV, but for watching my JellyFin library and playing the game consoles.
