The need for more satellites for tuner selection

There are a few but important satellites that offer Western and Central European viewers a significant number of free to air channels and additional channels with optional smart viewing cards.

Sony Android TVs come with ('User Defined', Astra 2 28.2E/Eurobird 28.5E, Eutelsat 36E, Turksat 42E, Thor 0.8W, Eutelsat 7A 7E, Hotbird 13E, Astra 1 19.2E and Astra 3 23.5E) for selection. The 'User Defined' is the default option for satellites that aren't available for choosing for satellite tuning. The 'User Defined' often fails to pick up the satellites you are receiving. Instead, it keeps repeating one dominant satellite or two (Current Sony Android TVs enable you to select up to 4 different satellites).

However, the most important satellites for me, depending on where you live, are Eutelsat 9E, Hotbird 13E, Eutelsat 16E, Astra 1 19.2E and Astra 2 28.2E/Eurobird 28.5E.

Would Sony consider adding satellites like Eutelsat 9E and Eutelsat 16E with the next software update? Would it also be possible to select more than 4 satellites with a  software update? These are pretty basic things any Sony Android TV fan expect to see in their television sets!
