15. Somewhat less useful than I thought.

A good bit of it doesn't seem to apply to my television. Apparently not all Sony tv's behave alike.

I did get into the Google store. There are very few functional apps in there. Lots of ones for playing games, which I don't, and ones furnished by networks, but only one browser, produced by an individual named, iirc, Howard something. Opera not present.

There doesn't seem to be any way to get apps not offered by the Google store unless I install a browser created by an unknown individual. I am liking Sony less and less. Most of the "featured apps," for instance, cannot be uninstalled it seems.
