A:AnswerHi Outdoorsy,
Thank you for your inquiry! The X80K can be used outside as long as it is properly protected under a roof or covered deck and prevent it from the elements such as rain. This TV is not specifically designed or rated for outdoor use. Exposing the TV to rain or moisture, direct illumination, or sunlight may cause damage. For safety reasons and to prevent the TV from malfunctioning, its recommended operating temperature is: 0 ºC – 40 ºC / 32˚F - 104˚F. To achieve the best picture quality, we recommend not exposing the screen to direct illumination or sunlight and avoiding installing the TV in a room with reflective walls and floor materials.

A:AnswerHi Ron,
Thank you for reaching out to us and we do apologize for the inconvenience. We are sorry but there isn't a specific app to download digital channels on the Sony KD50X80K. Digital channels are typically received through an over-the-air broadcast signal or via a cable/satellite TV service.
To access digital channels on the X80K, you need to connect an antenna for over-the-air signals or a cable/satellite set-top box or receiver for cable/satellite channels. The TV's built-in tuner allows you to scan for and tune into these channels without the need for downloading an app.
However, the KD-65X80K is a smart TV that supports various streaming apps. While these apps provide access to on-demand content, some of them also offer live TV streaming options as part of their service packages. It's important to note that accessing live TV channels through streaming apps may require a subscription or a separate service provider, and the availability of channels may vary depending on your location and the streaming services you choose.
