I believe on closer insepction that the YouTube 'app' provided with Bravia TV's is a variant ofYouTube XL, I agree the content does seem to be limited. This seems to be the case with my PS3 and Andoird phone too. You can view it on PC here:

They describe it as "YouTube XL is a version of YouTube optimized for watching YouTube videos on any large screen."
In practise that seems to be a way of restricting content. I can't view YouTube shows and some of the more popular videos. I was pleased to say I could find my own, so I suppose this doesn't apply to user uploaded videos?
I also notice that YouTube seem to have an option when you upload a video, to allow it be played on smart TV's, which I assume means it is uploaded with a slightly different liscence. Which I assume means YouTube already know it is annoying and are trying to something about it.
I find it amazing these things are such an issue, I can already do all things the TV is missing by simply plugging in my laptop. Shouild it really make such a difference that I am using my TV to do it instead? But I guess the people who make the content feel like the need more rewards for doing so.
