Hi Cynthia, bug 1199592 decided the UA string for TV, however not all websites recognize it at this moment. Please file webcompat issue if you see any specific site is not displaying desktop-like content on TV browser.

With Yahoo! you have to be very careful, because they have a lot of UA sniffing which is completely dependent on the local domain names. In your case, as shown in the video, This seems the case for Yahoo! **Taiwan**.

Basically in Taiwan indeed, We are being sent the mobile site.
