MyTV SUPER’s Big Update! New App & Remote Unveiled – The Ultimate Guide for Local Drama & Variety Fans

Alright, 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 the only one – I keep seeing messages in group chats like, "Why does my remote have an extra button?" or "How do I find older shows on the new interface?" No need to panic. As a veteran who’s been glued to this thing watching TV since day one, I’m here to break down the two big updates from MyTV SUPER. This will get you set up for the smoothest viewing experience.

App Update: A Complete Guide to Version 7.3.3

First up, let’s talk about the myTV SUPER app on your phone or iPad. They’ve just pushed out Version 7.3.3 for iOS, and this update is far more than the usual “bug fixes and performance improvements.” I updated it straight away and noticed the entire navigation logic on the homepage has been overhauled.

Before, if you wanted to find an older original drama, series, or variety show, you’d often find yourself scrolling endlessly. But the new search and categories are much more user-friendly, especially with local content getting priority placement. For example, when I wanted to catch up on last week’s episode of "Scoop," as soon as I went to the "Dramas/Variety" tab, it automatically remembered where I’d left off. Honestly, it’s a much smoother experience now.

• More Intuitive Interface: "My Favourites" and "Continue Watching" are now front and centre, so you don’t have to dig through multiple menus.
• Improved Search Engine: Even if you make a typo or only remember a line from a show, it’s way easier to find what you’re looking for now.
• Stable Playback: I tested it with both 5G and home Wi-Fi, and video loading is faster with no noticeable lag.

The Physical Remote’s Secret Weapon: myTV SUPER Remote Version 1.16

If you use the TV set-top box at home, you’ll definitely want to check out the myTV SUPER Remote app. The new Version 1.16 update turns your phone into a universal remote. What’s the best part? If you’re anything like me and constantly losing the physical remote down the side of the sofa, or if you’re always fighting with family members for it, this app is a lifesaver.

This new version of myTV SUPER Remote adds voice input. Before, you had to painfully type out show names one letter at a time with the on-screen keyboard, which was a total pain. Now, just hold down the mic 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 like you’re using a high-end smart TV. The whole experience has been seriously upgraded.

Why MyTV SUPER Still Matters

You might be thinking, with all the content on Netflix and Disney+, why bother with the myTV SUPER Limited platform? Honestly, it’s a fair question. I subscribe to both, but to be honest, if you want content that truly reflects local life, MyTV SUPER’s original productions and variety shows are second to none. From "Middle-Aged Good Voice" to "Hong Kong After Marriage," these are the shows that become water-cooler moments you can discuss with colleagues the next day. They’re our shared cultural language.

And the platform is pretty ambitious too. Beyond its own productions, it bundles in a lot of sports and news content, making it a one-stop shop for the whole family’s entertainment needs. With the launch of the new app and remote, they’re clearly trying to tackle user pain points with the interface. For a long-time user like me, this kind of continuous improvement is a massive plus.

Bottom Line: Local Flavour, Global-Class Experience

In short, whether you’re drawn in by the slick new interface of Version 7.3.3 or keen to try out voice control with the new Version 1.16 remote app, this update is worth spending a little time exploring. So stop asking, "Why does my app look different?" and go get the update. It’s time to give your home TV entertainment experience a proper upgrade!
