Is there a consensus that Sony tvs are better due to android TV on them?
No I specifically bought a Sony for my parents for ease of use and it is one of the worst purchases I have ever made.
I picked this specific model after looking for 3 months.
No where in any of the documentation or reviews did it say by plugging in a HDD I can only record a channel if I'm watching it and not record one channel while watching another which is a total deal breaker.
Also it has developed a fault where it basically shits its self every couple of weeks and the picture pixelates. It needs to be unplugged for a week and plugged back in. I've tried a new power pack but it doesn't really help. The only other thing I could do is get a new main board but can't source one with 6 months of searching eBay.
Do yourself a favour and buy a cheap LG panel and stick a streaming stick in it and never connect it to the internet.
That actually makes sense if we're talking DVB-[C, S or T] channels received through an internal hardware tuner. A tuner can only tune in on one frequency at once. To record one channel while watching another, it would need to have two internal tuners, which isn't very common and, I'd say, not something to expect unless specifically advertised.
