MyTV SUPER Gets a Major Upgrade! New App + Remote Control – A Must-Read Guide for Local Drama and Variety Fans

Hey, all you Hong Kong drama and variety fans out there, have you noticed that the MyTV SUPER app has had a bit of a facelift lately? I’m not kidding, I keep seeing friends asking in group chats: "Why does my remote seem to have an extra button?" or "How do I find the old shows with the new interface?" Don’t stress. As someone who’s been glued to the TV using this since day one, I’m here to break down the two big updates for you so you can enjoy watching and find things easily.

App Update: Version 7.3.3 – The Complete How-To Guide

First up, we’ve got to talk about the myTV SUPER app on your phone and iPad. They've just pushed out Version 7.3.3 for iOS, and trust me, this update is definitely not just "fixed some bugs and improved stability." I updated straight away and noticed the whole homepage navigation logic has been completely revamped.

Before, trying to find an old original series, drama, variety show, or other great content could mean scrolling around forever without any luck. But the new version’s search and categories are so much more user-friendly, especially by putting locally produced content front and centre. For example, if I want to catch up on last week’s episode of "Scoop," as soon as I go to the "Drama/Variety" tab, it automatically remembers where I was up to. The experience is way smoother than before.

• More Intuitive Interface: The new version puts "My Favourites" and "Continue Watching" right in the most obvious spot, so you don't have to go through multiple menus anymore.
• Upgraded Search Engine: Now, even if you make a typo or only remember a line of dialogue from a show, it's easier to find what you're looking for.
• Stable Player: I tested it on 5G and home Wi-Fi; loading times are faster and there’s no stuttering.

The Physical Controller’s Best Friend: 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 just released the Version 1.16 update, which turns your phone into a universal remote. What's the best part? If you’re like me and are always losing the physical remote down the side of the couch, or constantly fighting with family for it, this app is an absolute lifesaver.

This new version of the myTV SUPER Remote has added voice input. In the past, searching for a show title by tapping away at each letter with the remote was enough to drive you nuts. Now, you just hold down the microphone button and say, "I want to watch 'Come Home Love'," and it jumps straight there. And the simulated touchpad? A quick swipe to change channels makes it feel like you're using a fancy Smart TV, taking the whole user experience to the next level.

Why is MyTV SUPER Still So Popular?

You might be wondering, with so much on Netflix and Disney+ these days, why even bother with the myTV SUPER Limited platform? Honestly, it's a fair question. I subscribe to both myself, but honestly, when it comes to content that feels "close to home," MyTV SUPER’s original content and local variety shows are second to none. From "Middle-Aged Good Voice" to "Hong Kong After Marriage," these are the shows that create all the buzz—they're the kind of shared experience you can talk about with colleagues at work the next day.

And the platform's ambition is clear; besides their own productions, they also include a huge range of sports and news content. It genuinely becomes one app that covers the whole family's entertainment needs. The release of the new app and remote is clearly aimed at solving the user pain points, and this kind of commitment to continuous updates is a huge plus for long-time users like me.

Bottom Line: Local Flavour, International-Level Experience

In short, whether it's the sleek new interface of Version 7.3.3 or the chance to experience voice control with the new Version 1.16 Remote App, these updates are worth taking a little time to explore. Stop asking, "Why does my app look different?" Just go and update it, and take your home TV entertainment experience to the next level!
