Correct. For v2.0 spec, please use the method that I mentioned.

Hi,

As I understand the situation, the 2.0 specification does not really have the possibility to recognize if the device is Smart TV Alliance compatible or not. It is the 2.5 version that comes with the specific string to be part of the User-Agent header.

Regarding v2.0, pleaser refer to Smart_TV_Alliance_SDK_Diversity_Handling_Guidelines_2.0.0.pdf - 3. Platform identification. An app can tell an STA complient device using the user agent.
Regardging v2.5, please refer to the technical specification - 3.3.4. User Agent String. An app call tell an STA complient device by searching the common string "SmartTvA/2.5.0" in the user agent.

Appending \"STA compliant\" to the user agent string, or setting a javascrip variable would be a great way to help an app know when it is talking to a \"STA compliant\" device.
