This Web browser is a disappointment, though, featuring text that’s far too small to be comfortably readable from any sort of normal viewing distance. And indeed, Sony doesn’t really bother with such ‘fluff’, currently adding only the Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and Skype social networking functions and a Web browser to its main video streaming talents.

Sony’s clearly stated belief that video content is the biggest driver of Smart TV functionality carries with it an implicit belief that smaller, ‘smartphone’-like apps are not so important. More good news is that the BIV system seems impressively robust versus most of its rivals when it comes to the stability and quality of its video streams. It should be said that there appears to be actually fewer video platforms on BIV right now than there were last year, but this feels more like a deliberate trimming away of unnecessary ‘fat’ than Sony failing to keep the rights to show stuff. This focus gave BIV a huge edge in the 2010-early 2011 Smart TV season, and while its advantage isn’t as pronounced now, it’s still there thanks to a wealth of video content that includes LoveFilm, the BBC iPlayer, the Demand 5 Channel 5 catchup service, Sony’s own Qriocity platform, EuroSport, YouTube, a new 3D channel for TVs that support 3D playback, a Sky News headline feed, and perhaps best of all a free Sony Entertainment Television channel that’s stuffed with whole series of classic TV shows.Ĭlearly Sony’s ownership of some major TV and film content producing companies serves it well in ‘negotiating’ content for its BIV platform.

So Sony’s focus on getting mostly video streaming services live on its online servers seems to be the best idea the Japanese brand has had for years, frankly. After all, playing back video is what your TV is designed to do.

For what Sony has realised more powerfully than the rest is that the real key to developing a successful Smart TV system is to focus on video content. The clue is in the name: Bravia Internet Video (BIV). You can access news if you use Amazon Fire, Android mobile, Android TV, Comcast/Xfinity, Cox, iOS (iPhones only), Roku, Vizio, and Xbox devices.While Sony’s Bravia Internet Video system currently has some significant problems that we’ll get to presently, one thing that’s not in doubt is that it really ‘gets’ what Smart TV functionality should be all about. Tubi does offer some live news channels, but not on every device.
