It's time for a little "self-reflection" and an important update for everyone following our TV tests. Although the TitanOS system initially had significant gaps in the Polish streaming offering, the situation has just changed. We have updated all our reviews and comparisons, as key applications have finally appeared in Philips' ecosystem: Player and Polsat Box Go.
TVN Player on Philips TVs
We want to make it clear: in our editorial team, we adhere to the principle that we rely solely on facts, not on flashy PR announcements. We know very well that some updates and new applications are announced well in advance, but life teaches us that the road from "announcement" to an icon on the screen can be winding. In the case of the Player application, the first whispers about its implementation appeared as early as the beginning of December. However, right after the announcement itself, despite our attempts, the application simply wasn't physically in the system yet. We don't know exactly which day or week it "jumped" permanently into the store, but now – after checking this on several different Philips devices – we can responsibly confirm: Player is here and working.
Polsat Box Go also on TitanOS
The situation with ChooseTV Box Go looked even more interesting. When we conducted our main tests in May, this application – although it should have been there – was completely unavailable for some unexplained reasons. We noted this as a downside for the TitanOS system at that time. Today, after verifying the hardware with the latest version of the software, ChooseTV Box Go is now visible and ready for use. It's hard to say whether it was a server-side error or a matter of missing the proper firmware, but the fact is that the problem has been resolved.
Why just now?
We admit honestly: after the December announcements regarding the Player, we didn't drop everything to check the system daily – we simply didn't have the time during the peak season. However, now, after thoroughly going through several models, we are sure. If you have purchased or are planning to buy a Philips on TitanOS, you can already count on nearly the full package of Polish VOD services. All our tests have been updated with this information so that none of you are misled by outdated deficiencies. If the apps have not appeared for you yet – check the availability of the system update in your TV's menu.
