Sony has announced it is kitting out a wide range of its Bravia TVs with the YouView platform.
The roll out, which will bring integrated access all of the UK’s major terrestrial on-demand platforms, will commence on Wednesday November 4 – in plenty of time for the festive telly-fest.
The platform brings a 7 day scroll back of the existing TV schedule as well as a selection on OnDemand content. The interface also offers the opportunity to search and discover new shows.
Sony is seemingly prioritising its UltraHD sets for the rollout, but YouView is also coming to eight of its current full HD line up.
Here’s the 4K sets:
KD-75X94C, KD-65X93C, KD-55X93C, KD-75X91C, KD-65X90C, KD-55X90C, KD-65S85C, KD-55S85C, KD-65S80C, KD-55S80C, KD-75X85C, KD-65X85C, KD-55X85C, KD-49X83C, KD-43X83C, KD-55X80C, KD-49X80C.
And the chosen 1080p few:
KDL-75W85C, KDL-65W85C, KDL-55W80C, KDL-50W80C, KDL-43W80C, KDL-55W75C, KDL-50W75C, KDL-43W75C.
Sony says: “YouView was the natural choice of partner due to the intuitive design
and interface and seamless user journey to access a huge content
library. Harnessing this with the fantastic picture quality and
beautiful design of Sony’s Bravia TV range we are able to offer our
consumers the ultimate TV viewing experience.”
