I have never had good results when making selections in the "Manage Services" section. I have reported this several times over the past year (both in the old forum and via "send feedback" from the Chromecast with Google TV).
I "send feedback" when I can, but it's never reassuring with it's one-way communication and the issue has persisted for so long.
- Issue 1: When I select just one or two services, I no longer see suggestions for the free apps I use, such as Tubi, Crackle, etc. These services are not options to select under "Manage Services". I actually watch them just as much and more than my paid services and I'd prefer to still see recommendations for them.
Possible solution: Add all apps to the Manage Services section. So if for example a user wants to see recommendations for Tubi, they can select Tubi.
- Issue 2: Even if I select all of the paid services I use, the results are very imbalanced. For instance, if I select Disney+, Netflix, Paramount+, Peacock, etc. All of the browse results will be only Disney+ and Netflix, even if I watch the others more frequently. So I assume this isn't based on watch history and instead particular services are being given precedence?
Possible solution: Aside from fine tuning the algorithm, maybe allow the user rearrange the order of importance of the Manage Services list. This could work similarly to rearranging apps (long press and then move up/down in the list).
Thanks for listening! 🙂
