Sony is set to implement changes affecting users of antennas and set-top boxes on select Bravia smart TVs starting in late May 2026. The modifications will limit the TV guide functionality, with users experiencing a reduction in program information and the absence of channel logos and thumbnail images for programs. This will apply to several models, including the 2025 Bravia 8 II (XR80M2) and Bravia 5 (XR50), as well as the 2024 Bravia 9 (XR90) and 2023 Bravia A95L series. Sony's support page acknowledged the inconvenience but did not clarify the reasons behind these changes. It is speculated that the company may be reallocating resources to prioritize more widely used streaming features, as the use of antennas and set-top boxes has declined in recent years. However, surveys indicate that 19% of US adults still use antennas, and 26% of broadband-access TV viewers rely on set-top boxes as their primary device for watching TV.
