Since there hasn't been a new update after 5.5.1, we don't know if that feature secretly resides in 5.5.1's browser. The 5.5.1 Wiiu update...

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.
