Android TV Live Channels

What I wish is I could hook up a usb tv tuner to the Nexus and it use it. It looks like apps have been developed to do just that but not using US tv standards.

@TabloTV I’m glad to see you working on the new AppleTV and WebOS apps but I was just curious if we’re going to see any Android love early 2016? If so is there anything to share on the live channels? No complaints though. Tablo TV is still the best experience for live & recorded TV in my opinion on any modern platform and but I was just curious if there was anything for us Android TV users to look forward to in the short term.

@BobsledOhio - Don’t worry… The Android team is working just as hard. We’ll be showing some love to you Droid folks later this year :slight_smile:

@TabloTV Later this year, meaning like Fall or Winter 2016?

I don’t have a firm ETA for anything Android yet so I’m not going to guestimate… When I asked about what they’re working on I got smiles and thumbs up from that side of the office so they’re feeling good about progress. Once I have more details I’ll be sure to share them.

Thanks for sharing what you can. I wonder if we’ll be hearing more around IO in May…

I know it isn’t May, but I just want to make sure this doesn’t get lost in everything else going on… This feature would be a major win in the “keep it spouse friendly” category. The tie in to the “notification cards” and voice search features of real “Android TV” devices could make it truly shine. (And I wish all the knock off android tv boxes could get more separation from the real thing)

I threw this poll together, please comment on it in order to show your impressions…
Should “Live Channels” support be a priority?

Apple TV app is scheduled for Spring 2016, so even if Android TV becomes a thing, it won’t be until Summer or Fall 2016. But I am just purely speculating.

@TabloTV now that Apple TV app is released, what about Android Channels?

Got really excited that there was some updates for this. I hope this is being worked on but that all off the Android TV features are being taken advantage of: Live Channels, universal search, picture-in-picture, and recommendations (say show recently recorded episodes the next day on the home screen).

Keeping my fingers crossed.

It’s been awhile now… @TabloTV are there any updates on this?

I find that the guide within the Android TV is quite slow just not a great experience to use :frowning:

Would really like to see the channels in Live Channels…

I understand the need to be careful with publicizing things too early because things can change but there have been several “milestones” achieved (i.e. CES has come and gone) and “android updates” have been communicated so I don’t doubt they are coming, it would just be nice to know a little bit of the specifics for those of us evaluating all the platforms.

Bumping it up so it does’t get lost.

Live channels support yet?

Still missing @TabloTV

This feature is taking way too long.
Everyone is asking for it.

When the largest competitor has something similar and the user base wants it, I have to wonder what the companies direction is…

I love Tablo, and finally my wife does too…but having to back out of the app over and over again…or closing the interface is cumbersome and HD HOMERUN is doing it for a few months now.

Come on Tablo geniuses…get it going!

Everyone? Not me. I couldn’t care less about that feature.

You have to admit though, since 6/2015 this has been a topic…and most that have a Android TV box could use it.
