Solution

  • I'm assuming you want to allow users to watch content and if so, you will not actually implement a TVView. Google provides the 'Live Channels' app which will display channels provided via the TVInputFramework. This app is hidden until an app implementing the TVInputFramework is installed.

    Google has now released a sample app implementing the TVInputFramework which will publish channels that can be watched in the Live Channels app.

    Documentation outlining the TVInputFramework: http://developer.android.com/training/tv/tif/index.html

    I hope this will at least point you in the right direction even if it doesn't directly answer your question.
