Beginning in May, Sony plans to discontinue specific software features across its Bravia smart TV range, impacting models as recent as the 2023 and 2024 releases. The update targets users who view content through antennas or external set-top boxes, removing integrated scheduling tools and related content suggestions from the native interface. This decision reflects an industry-wide trend where manufacturers prioritize streaming ecosystems over traditional broadcast integration, forcing viewers to rely on third-party hardware interfaces or dedicated applications for programming information.
