Description

Our feed has HTML entities in the title and description strings, and these aren't being translated by Fire App Builder - they are showing up on the TV screen like this. For example, the title "NASA’s Search for Life on Mars" shows up just like that on the screen.

These should be decoded before presenting on screen.

Research direction

Start by tracing how feed title and description strings reach the TV presentation, using the provided example with nested HTML entities as a reproduction case. Done means those entities are decoded before display in both titles and descriptions, without appearing literally on screen.
