MyTV SUPER’s Big Overhaul! New App + Remote Unveiled – The Ultimate Guide for UK Fans of Hong Kong Dramas and Entertainment
Hey, all you Hong Kong drama and variety show fans in the UK, have you noticed something new with the MyTV SUPER app lately? I'm not just saying it – I keep seeing friends ask in group chats: "Why does my remote seem to have an extra button?" or "How do I find old shows on the new interface?" Don't worry. As someone who's been glued to this thing since day one, I'm here to break down the two big updates so you can navigate with ease and find what you love in no time.
App Update: A Complete Guide to Version 7.3.3
First up, let's talk about the myTV SUPER app on your phone and iPad. They've just pushed out Version 7.3.3 for iOS, and this update is anything but a lazy "bug fixes and performance improvements." I updated straight away and noticed the entire homepage navigation logic has been revamped.
Before, finding older original series, dramas, variety shows, and other great programmes could sometimes feel like a wild goose chase. But the new search and categories are much more intuitive, especially with local content now taking centre stage. For instance, when I wanted to catch up on last week's episode of "Scoop," I just went to the "Drama/Variety" tab, and it automatically remembered where I'd left off. It's a much smoother experience than before.
- More Intuitive Interface: The new layout puts "My Favourites" and "Continue Watching" front and centre, so you don't have to click through multiple menus.
- Improved Search Engine: Now, even if you make a typo or only remember a single line from a show, it's much easier to find what you're looking for.
- Stable Playback: In my tests, using both 5G and home Wi-Fi, videos load faster with hardly any buffering.
The Physical Remote's Secret Weapon: myTV SUPER Remote Version 1.16
If you're using the TV box at home, then you definitely need to check out the myTV SUPER Remote App. The recent Version 1.16 update turns your phone into a universal remote. What's the best bit? If you're like me and are forever losing the physical remote down the side of the sofa, or constantly fighting over it with the family, this app is a total lifesaver.
The new version of myTV SUPER Remote has added voice input. Gone are the days of painstakingly typing out show titles one letter at a time with the remote. Now, just hold down the microphone button and say, "I want to watch 'Come Home Love'", and it jumps straight there. Plus, the simulated trackpad lets you swipe to change channels, making it feel just like using a sleek Smart TV. It's a massive upgrade to the overall user experience.
Why MyTV SUPER Still Holds Its Own?
You might be wondering, with so much on Netflix and Disney+, why bother with the myTV SUPER Limited platform? Honestly, it's a fair question. I subscribe to both, but if we're talking about content that feels close to home, MyTV SUPER's original programming and local variety shows are simply unbeatable. From "Midlife, Sing & Shine!" to "Here Comes The Bride," these are the shows that get everyone talking – the kind of watercooler moments you can bond over with colleagues the next day.
And their ambitions are clear. Besides their own productions, they also pack in a load of sports and news content, truly making it a one-app solution for the whole family's entertainment needs. The rollout of the new app and remote is a clear move to tackle user pain points with navigation, and for a long-time user like me, that commitment to constant improvement is a huge plus.
The Verdict: Local Flavour, World-Class Experience
So, whether you're drawn in by the slick new interface of Version 7.3.3 or you're keen to try out the voice controls on the new Version 1.16 Remote App, this update is definitely worth a bit of your time to explore. Stop asking "Why does my app look different?" – go and get that update and give your home TV entertainment the upgrade it deserves!
