“You can find TV shows that you like just by entering keywords.”

When you enter favorite keywords, it displays TV shows and YouTube videos related to those keywords.
First, try entering the names of any favorite actors or artists that come to mind. A list of shows just for you will be created.
Of course, you can add to the keywords, so try adding more favorite keywords.

“Invite your friends and watch your favorite TV shows together.”

When you find an interesting show, you can easily send a Facebook message saying "Let's watch this TV show!" to a friend.
If your friend uses a 2014 Sony BRAVIA, the message can also be displayed on their TV.
