Hi @Ray6ui 

 

To attempt to answer your question, we will need the full model number of your TV. It will start with KD- or XR-.

Hi @Ray6ui 

 

Live TV & Catchup (YouView) only uses the catch up iPlayers (BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All4 and My5) and are included in the base operating system and cannot be changed.

 

However there are hundreds of Apps and Games that can be installed and uninstalled from the Google Play Store. The quickest and easiest way to open the Google Play Store is by using the Input button. Keep pressing the Input button until Google Play Store is highlighted.

 

Is there a particular App you are looking for?

 

Edit: My apologies, you mean the Apps that can be launched from within YouView. I never use YouView so I loaded it and can now see what you mean.

 

A quick look reveals it is not possible to add or remove Apps from within YouView.

Thanks for info,I have managed to download apps ok just felt it would be good to have them in Youview instead of going to inputs. 
Just moved new app up to front of inputs and use from that. 
thanks
