wish it was available on ROKU!
I just got a Vizio 55” XVT Series with TruLED.
It has Yahoo TV Widgets, though very few are available & the ones that are available & I’ve tested, don’t work. From the list of apps listed above:
- Amazon Video On Demand: It says I’m outside of the United States & this service is not available outside of the United Stated … I am in the United States though.
- Facebook: Not On My TV
- Twitter: When attempting to use, it claims that their “rate limit has exceeded”. It says it should be corrected in 60 minutes, tried it several times over the last few hours with the same results every time.
- NBA Game Time, RadioTime, and SyncTV Kids (soon to be Zoing) all are not on my TV as well
Thus far, I am VERY disappointed with the Yahoo TV Widgets on my Vizio after much hype was built up.
