Australian Echo Show 15 gets more apps: 9Now, 7Plus, 10 Play, SBS On Demand, ABC iView and more

When I reviewed the Echo Clearly show 15 in April I concluded that it is disappointing that Amazon Australia did not acquire the option of a delayed start for the Echo Show 15 to make the unit a lot more Australian by including the complete ABC iView, 7, 9, 10, SBS catch-up as nicely as other Aussie unique online video streaming providers like STAN and Kayo.

Very well that need to be mounted now as Amazon Australia has verified to Ausdroid that Australian homeowners of existing Echo Present 15 clever shows can now update to get a free of charge Hearth Television computer software improve, incorporating several new applications to the 15.6″ display playback ability.

Amazon Australia claims:

“Customers will now be equipped to simply stream global streaming solutions like Netflix, Prime Video clip, Disney+, Paramount+, YouTube and far more. Nearby streaming solutions on the product will also consist of 9Now, 7Moreover, 10 Perform, SBS On Need, ABC iView and more”.

“The Hearth Tv set update for Echo Show 15 is offered now by means of your device’s latest software program update. Just say, “Alexa, go to Device Settings”, choose Product Options, then Test for Application Updates on the touchscreen. The Fireplace Tv set widget will then be readily available on your property monitor.”

Amazon is eager to drive the Alexa Voice Remote (3rd Gen) with Tv Controls as effortless $20 additional bundle with Echo Demonstrate 15 purchases but if you mainly use it by way of voice and chat on the kitchen area benchtop as I do then you won’t need to have a remote.

I’d love to display you how the new streaming applications get the job done but the update looks to have bricked my Echo Exhibit 15, it is displaying a black display and is unresponsive to voice, contact or button use.

The moment Amazon allows me know how to take care of it, or they swap it, I’ll report again with data about how it plays Disney+, Youtube, 9Now, 7Furthermore, 10 Participate in, SBS On Need, ABC iView and so on.
