This is what I was talking about:

but the good news is that thankfully Sony will soon have this problem covered pretty comprehensively by its YouView system (once it’s been added via an over-the-air firmware update). This will open up all the joys of YouView, including catchup services for many Freeview channels and an inspired backwards EPG system that lets you scroll back to access on-demand programmes you may have missed.

Obviously we haven’t been able to test Sony’s implementation of YouView yet, but aside from some questions over how it will integrate/sit alongside Android, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to expect that it will be any thing other than a very welcome addition to Sony’s smart TV offering. Especially as it will provide regular TV users with a much simpler way into the joys of on-demand video content than the Android system.
