Sky are currently focused on delivering their next generation set top box / sky pod on top of their new digital platform.

Brhahahahaha!

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Wow thanks for raising this everyone. It has basically made the app unusable.

I hope sky address it soon, but not holding my breath.

Well yeah this thread is about Android/Google TV devices, especially the CCWGTV. The only reason I didn't get an Apple TV was side-loading and VPNs being a pain. But no doubt the app support is far superior as is the case with iOS in general.

We've given up on Neon, we're not watching anything on it anymore. Plenty of other platforms and shows. Not using it, and as soon as the free subscription expires it's gone.

It's sad that it has come to that point - I can confidently say there is a lot of good content on it, and it comes out in a timely manner... especially HBO-series. However, I may be forced to return to RARBG.

The only thing that slightly helps performance is going into the Android TV settings and setting background processes to 0, and to kill apps immediately after closing... but this of course can be annoying when trying to multitask (though honestly, the Chromecast with Google TV can hardly have more than one app open at once anyway - it is so slow).

How do you set background processes to zero?

It's in the developer settings I believe. Go to the about section of your system settings and repeatedly click on the build number, it will enable the developer menu.

Does it help Neon work better?
