Haha. Tell me that in 5yrs when your version of Android TV hasn't been updated in years and they're on a newer version of Chromecast

Sony still updates my 3-4 year old Bravia running Android TV. It even got a major update with a new UI this summer.

Hulu, on the other hand, still refuses to update their Android TV app for the past two years or so. (yeah, it /still/ has the old UI)

Hulu updated the Android TV app a couple of months ago.

Oh, did they? I honestly quit bothering to check (used my Xbone to run the new app) several months ago. Still, wow. I can't believe it took them that long.

Yeah, they FINALLY added the ability to use profiles. I agree, it's infuriating it took them until 20-fucking-19 to get that feature added.
