Amazon Echo app

[RutlandLiz]

When will the Amazon Echo app be available in the UK? It's been in the US since July. Really want to be able to voice control the TV, and currently only really use the Echo for asking about the weather (typical Brit 😄)

Hi @RutlandLiz

Some good news for you....

""From 10^th November, you’ll be able to use Alexa to control your Android TV from Sony."

Have a look at This

page for more details.

Thanks Jumpy - I've been sitting watching the home screen all morning with baited breath; nothing yet. Getting tired of the John Lewis monster. Do I need to reboot or anything?

Hi @RutlandLiz 

Apologies for the delay in replying/

Has it appeared in the home screen yet for you?

Also what model TV do you have?

(I found the monster ad very disappointing, particularly whoever was singing Golden Slumbers)

It's 55XD8599 

It's ultra HD 4K. 

If it isn't supported I will 😭😭😭

[RutlandLiz]

It looks like every [edited by moderator to remove profanity] XD and XE is supported except MINE. Why? Mine has the exact same menu as the rest? Are Amazon and Sony playing a joke on me because I'm quite possibly the only person in the UK who actually really really wants this app? 

2016

XD70, XD75, XD80, SD80, XD83 and ZD9 Series
2017 Android TVs

XE80, XE83, XE85, XE90, XE93, XE94 and A1 Series
