Thinking of a Philips Smart TV - Question do they with RTE Player installed? If not can it be

So as the title mentions looking at a Philips Smart TV and not sure if RTE Player/ VirginMedia Player come installed, if not can they be from the Philips app site?

I read that the Philips OS, Titan I think, is quite restrictive. They opted for the own OS and not Android.

Thanks folks!

Id be VERY surprised if they came pre-installed.

So the follow on question is can they be installed, is this TV also aimed at the Irish customer or is it only UK based so does the Philips app store only feature iPlayer etc

I have a Philips 60 inch with the os system. Couldn't get the rte player in their apps store or download it. I had a firestick anyway so used that to get it. At the price it was a good value tv so I figure it was worth it.

Tha is a bit disappointing. How about the VirginMedia app?

Yes I can use a fire stick which is a workaround. Is your 60" an ambilight version?

Yes, I don't use it though, I find it a distraction. But it has various display colours
