Android 6 (Marshmallow) on 2015/2016 TV's?

Hello.

 

During CES I heard a news that Sony will bring Android 6 (Marshmallow) to the 2015 TV lineup.

General News about Marshmallow on Android TV's

These news are from January.

Had anyone heard something new about this?

I installed mine the same as you through an apk via ES and it shows on the home page. It's not really worth it though as the only app Aptoide offers which I can't get on Google Play is showbox. The rest are the usual useless stuff.

That's realy personal preference what you may not like or need someone else may want so each to their own..

Try it on you don't like it or need it after you had a play around just un-install it..

Simples..

You need to sideload Aptoide TV for that, not the regular Aptoide.apk.

I googled that a couple of weeks back and the answer is no. It's androids fault not Sony.
