MyTV SUPER’s Big Revamp: New App & Remote Control – Essential Guide for Local Drama & Entertainment Fans
Hey, all you Hong Kong drama and variety show fans out there – have you noticed something new with the MyTV SUPER app lately? I’m not kidding; I keep seeing mates in group chats asking, “Why does my remote have an extra button?” or “How do I find older shows with the new interface?” Don’t stress. As someone who’s been glued to my screen using this since day one, let me break down these two big updates so you can watch more smoothly and find stuff faster.
App Update: Version 7.3.3 – Full User Guide
First up, we’ve got the myTV SUPER app on your phone and iPad. They’ve just rolled out Version 7.3.3 for iOS, and this update is way more than the usual “bug fixes and stability improvements”. I updated straight away and noticed they’ve completely reworked the homepage navigation logic.
Before, if you wanted to find older original shows, dramas, variety programs, and other great content, you’d often be scrolling endlessly. But the new search and categories are much more user-friendly, especially by pushing local content to the front. For instance, when I wanted to catch up on last week’s episode of Scoop, as soon as I went into the “Drama/Variety” tab, it automatically remembered where I’d left off. The experience is so much smoother than before.
- More intuitive interface: The new version puts “My Favourites” and “Continue Watching” front and centre, so you don’t have to dig through multiple menus.
- Improved search engine: Now, even if you misspell something or only remember a single line from a show, it’s easier to find what you’re after.
- Stable video player: Tested it with 5G and home Wi-Fi – videos load faster and there’s hardly any lag.
The Physical Controller Upgrade: myTV SUPER Remote Version 1.16
If you’re using the TV box at home, you’ll definitely want to check out the myTV SUPER Remote app. They’ve recently released Version 1.16, which turns your phone into a universal remote. What’s the best bit? If you’re like me and constantly losing the physical remote down the side of the couch, or always fighting with family members for it, this app is a lifesaver.
The new version of myTV SUPER Remote adds voice input. In the past, having to type out a show title using the remote, one letter at a time, was a total pain. Now, you just hold down the microphone button and say, “I want to watch Come Home Love”, and it jumps straight there. Plus, there’s a simulated touchpad – one swipe and you change the channel. It feels just like using a fancy Smart TV, taking the whole user experience up several notches.
Why MyTV SUPER Still Holds Its Ground
You might be wondering, with so much to watch on Netflix and Disney+, why even bother with the myTV SUPER Limited platform? Honestly, it’s a fair question. I subscribe to all of them, but if I want content that feels close to home, MyTV SUPER’s original productions and local variety shows are unbeatable. From Midlife, Sing & Shine! to Here Comes The Bride, these are the kinds of highly-talked-about shows that become the common language you chat about with colleagues the next day – they're our shared watercooler moments.
And the platform has big ambitions. Beyond its own productions, it packs in a heap of sports and news content, truly making it a one-app solution for the whole family’s entertainment needs. The launch of the new app and remote is clearly aimed at fixing user pain points with navigation. For a long-time user like me (years and counting!), this ongoing commitment to improvement is a huge plus.
The Verdict: Local Flavour, Global-Grade Experience
In short, whether it’s the slick new interface of Version 7.3.3 or the voice control you can enjoy with the new Version 1.16 remote app, these updates are worth taking a little time to explore. So stop asking “Why does my app look different?” – go update it and level up your home TV entertainment experience!
