Sony урезает функционал телегида в телевизорах Bravia
Sony планирует ограничить некоторые функции телегида и программы передач для каналов, принимаемых с помощью эфирной антенны, на определенных моделях телевизоров Bravia, выпущенных с 2023 по 2025 год. Эти изменения, как сообщает Cord Cutters News, вступят в силу в конце мая.
Из встроенного телегида для эфирных каналов будут удалены логотипы каналов и миниатюры изображений в описаниях программ. В руководстве будут отображаться только программы с недавно просмотренных каналов, а информация о программах может отображаться не для всех каналов.
Изменения коснутся и пользователей приставок. Специальное меню "Приставка" будет упразднено и заменено меню "Управление". В этой новой конфигурации миниатюры программ также больше не будут отображаться.
Хотя это и является достаточно нишевым сценарием использования в эпоху стриминговых сервисов и кабельного телевидения, Sony не предоставила никаких объяснений причин этих изменений. Для тех, кого эти изменения затронут, это может стать неприятным сюрпризом в следующем месяце, значительно снизив полезность телегида и программы передач.
Sony is nerfing its Bravia TVs' program guide
Sony is removing certain features from the TV guide and program listings for channels received via an over-the-air antenna on select 2023-2025 Bravia television models. These changes, reported by Cord Cutters News, are set to take effect in late May.
Channel logos and thumbnail images within program descriptions will be removed from the built-in TV Guide for antenna TV channels. The guide will only display programs from recently watched channels, and program information may not be shown depending on the channel.
Changes are also coming for set-top box users, with the dedicated Set Top Box TV menu being removed and replaced by a Control menu. This setup will also no longer display program thumbnail images.
While this is an admittedly narrow use case in the age of both streaming and cable TV, Sony has not provided any reason for making the change. For those impacted, this could be an unpleasant surprise next month that makes the TV guide and program guide much less helpful.
