It seems that a recently purchased HiSense 65N7 Smart TV I have does not allow installation of typical Android TV Apps through Google Play Store

Hisense seems to have this locked down, what a pain, I am hoping I have missed something here. Googling and looking through menus and manuals is fast heading to one of the poor points of this TV... pity it is a great TV overall

Is this typical of Hisense or other than taoday's "leading" brands such as Samsung, LG ????

No issues here with the Samsung or LG units I have BTW
