Twitter is launching its live video app on Android TV just over two months since it debuted on Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Xbox One. Those of you who actually like to tweet will have to get accustomed to spectating, as this application is all about video.

The app’s biggest draw remains its lineup of NFL Thursday Night Football games, with five of Twitter’s designated ten broadcasts left remaining. Consequently, Android TV viewers who download the app will be able to tune in to watch the New Orleans Saints take on the Carolina Panthers live on Thursday. You can check out the full schedule of Twitter’s NFL live-streams here.

The platform secured the social media rights to ten NFL games earlier this year for a reported $10 million. The first of those games was reportedly watched by an estimated 2.3 million global viewers on Twitter’s web and mobile outlets.

Best of all, you don’t even need a Twitter account to use the apps. Twitter claims that viewers will be able to watch the live-streams alongside tweets containing videos — an indication that it is hoping to entice viewers into signing up to its flagship platform with a taster of its core live tweeting experience.

Additional content available through the apps includes Twitter’s college sports live-streams provided by Pac-12 Networks and Campus Insiders. There’s also live Major League Baseball and NHL broadcasts, and Twitter’s exclusive pregame NBA shows.

For those seeking respite from the sports blitz, you can tune into live business news courtesy of Bloomberg, and Cheddar TV. Fans of viral web videos will also be able to catch the top clips from Twitter’s Periscope platform.

“These devices will bring Twitter’s live-streaming video experience to life on the TV screen,” said Anthony Noto, chief operating officer, Twitter, upon the apps’ launch in September. “Twitter has always been a great complement to TV, and now fans can enjoy even more premium video with live tweets and the best content on Twitter right from their TVs.”

You can download the app from the Google Play Store. Twitter seems to have messed up the screenshots provided, but rest assured this is the official video app and not the general Twitter app.

A guide to Sony’s 2026 TVs and home theater lineup
Sony’s latest BRAVIA lineup introduces True RGB technology alongside new TVs and home theater audio products.
BRAVIA 7 II

Sony thinks it may have cracked the code for home theater this year. The company is not just launching new TVs. Instead, it is rethinking how televisions create color with a new technology called True RGB, while also expanding its home theater lineup with products like the BRAVIA Theater Trio. After getting an early look at the lineup in New York, it became clear why Sony believes True RGB could be one of the biggest stories in its 2026 portfolio.

The technology was the centerpiece of Sony's presentation, but the broader message was equally interesting. According to the company, many premium TVs are still optimized for ideal viewing conditions rather than the environments where most people actually watch television. Sony shared data suggesting that only around 13% of viewers watch content in settings similar to a movie theater or professional grading suite. The remaining 87% are watching in bright living rooms, open floor plans, and spaces where lighting conditions constantly change throughout the day.3

Sony Electronics is making a massive upgrade to the humble meeting room screen. The company has just unveiled Crystal LED UNIFY, a massive 135-inch all-in-one direct-view LED display designed for boardrooms, meeting rooms, community spaces, and higher education environments.

At a glance, it might look like Sony's next massive flagship living room TV, but it's cutting edge display tech arriving to the office space. It is part of Sony’s professional display lineup and sits alongside its existing BRAVIA Professional Displays and Crystal LED portfolio. The model number is ZRL-135SG, and Sony is positioning it as a simpler way for organizations to add a large dvLED display without dealing with the usual complexity of custom LED wall projects.

Marshall’s new Stockwell III fixes the problem most Bluetooth speakers ignore
Electronics, Speaker, Person

For years, Bluetooth speakers have followed a familiar formula: better sound, longer battery life, maybe a splash of waterproofing, and then onto the next model. Marshall’s new Stockwell III certainly checks those boxes, but its most interesting upgrade isn’t about audio at all. It’s about staying alive longer.

The Stockwell III arrives as Marshall’s first refresh of the portable speaker since 2019, carrying forward the same road-ready design with its signature carrying strap and retro-inspired aesthetic. At first glance, it looks like a predictable update. Underneath, however, Marshall is making a subtle but meaningful shift toward repairability.
