A1 OLED TV

[Bill00]

Why is the OPERA TV internet browser  not preloaded into the A1(see detailed specification ),a $4000 TV,when it is standard on other Sony Andoid TV's?

Is this some sort of US  competiton enforcement  agency issue,which will not apply to the UK ?

After 10  years  of  waiting for  a credible Pixel  Plus processed  CRT replacement, I would just like to switch the thing on and use  it  straight out  of  the box.

Hi @gilfeath

Apologies for the delay in responding, seem's your question got missed - probably because this thread was marked as 'resolved'. 

Anyway, onto your questions:

1 - Pre-installed Apps

Unfortuately the pre-installed apps cannot be removed or hidden.

2 - Home Screen Suggestions:

These can indeed be hidden.  Simply goto [HOME] > Settings > Home Screen (system preferences) > Recommendations row >   And uncheck each option by pressing the [OK] button on the remote control

3 - 3rd Party app to do 1 and 2

Answer is no

4 - USB HDD Recording

You can record TV shows from the TV to a USB hard drive.  You must register the hard drive to the TV firstly.  For more information, see : HERE

Hopefully this helps

Cheers
