Acquiring a prior release of the HiTV application involves obtaining a specific, previously available iteration of the software rather than the most current one. This can be exemplified by a user seeking version 1.0.5 of the application instead of the present version 2.0.
The rationale for securing a pre-existing release often stems from compatibility considerations, user preference for a particular interface, or the desire to bypass newly introduced features that are deemed undesirable. Historically, users have sought older versions of applications when updates introduced bugs, diminished performance on older devices, or removed valued functionalities.
