MyTV SUPER's Big Upgrade! New App + Remote Launched – A Must-Read Guide for Local Drama & Variety Fans
Hey there, 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've been seeing friends in group chats asking, "Why does my remote have an extra button?" or "How do I find the old shows on this new interface?" Don't worry. As someone who's been glued to this platform since day one, I'm here to break down the two big updates to MyTV SUPER so you can enjoy a smoother, more intuitive experience.
App Update: Your 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 rolled out Version 7.3.3 for iOS, and this update is far more than the usual "fixed bugs and improved stability." I updated mine right away and noticed the entire homepage navigation logic has been revamped.
In the past, finding older original series, dramas, variety shows, and other great programs could mean endless scrolling. But the new search and categories are much more user-friendly, especially by putting local content front and centre. For instance, when I wanted to catch up on last week's episode of "Scoop," I just went to the "Dramas/Variety" tab, and it automatically remembered where I'd left off. That experience is so much smoother than before.
- More Intuitive Interface: The new version puts "My Favourites" and "Continue Watching" right where you can see them, so you don't have to dig through multiple menus.
- Upgraded Search Engine: Even if you make a typo or only remember a line from the show, you can now find what you're looking for much more easily.
- More Stable Player: In my tests, using both 5G and home Wi-Fi, loading times are faster and I experienced minimal buffering.
The Ultimate Physical Remote Alternative: myTV SUPER Remote Version 1.16
If you use 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 part? If you're like me and constantly losing the physical remote in the sofa cushions, or always fighting with family members for it, this app is a lifesaver.
The new version of myTV SUPER Remote adds voice input. Remember the frustration of having to type out show titles one letter at a time using the remote? Now, you can just hold down the mic and say, "I want to watch 'Come Home Love'," and it'll take you right there. Plus, there's a simulated touchpad that lets you change channels with a simple swipe, making the whole experience feel like you're using a premium Smart TV. It really takes the user experience to the next level.
Why MyTV SUPER Still Holds Its Own
You might be thinking, with all the content on Netflix and Disney+, why even bother with the myTV SUPER Limited platform? It's a fair question. I'm subscribed to both, but honestly, for content that hits close to home, MyTV SUPER's original productions and local variety shows are unbeatable. From "Middle-Aged Good Voice" to "Hong Kong After Marriage," these are the watercooler shows that give you something to talk about with your colleagues the next day. They're part of our shared cultural conversation.
And the platform's ambitions are big. Beyond their own productions, they also pack in a lot of sports and news content, truly making it a one-app solution for the whole family's entertainment needs. With these new app and remote updates, it's clear they're focused on solving real user pain points. For a long-time user like me, that kind of continuous improvement is a huge plus.
Final Take: A Local Hero Delivering a Global-Class Experience
In short, whether you're drawn to the slick new interface of Version 7.3.3 or eager to try out voice control with the new Version 1.16 Remote app, this update is worth taking a little time to explore. So stop wondering, "Why does my app look different?" and go update it. It's time to level up your home TV entertainment experience!
