[Q] Google TV Addon Using Live TV on Application - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm an android developer, and just this week the new Google Tv Addon was released, so I started looking into it.
I found the Documentation horrible, I couldn't find any example, as a matter of fact the only code I found was a query for the Channel Listing ContentProvider.
So first, if some of you have already started developing for Google TV, could you share any valuable Examples or Info so we could all benefit
Second, I'm particularly interested on using something like Picture in Picture (PiP), to have my application maximized and Live TV on a small floating window; or having an app widget hovering or to the side of the Live TV app, does anyone know how to do any of these??

[Q] Sky TV Player?

Ok seems from previous threads answers are a bit thin on the ground....
WE've got he Sky+ app to program n record via our phones but...
Since we've got the media capability - can we not use the Sky Player?
I notice on my pc i require Silverlight to be installed - what if i can this through a browser? or can this be ported into a specific app to log into this kind of thing?
It'd be amazing if i could get my Sky tv on my phone - not just see whats on.
Not supported by Sky, but you could always ask if its on their radar.
virgin Media are starting to support something along these lines so it is possible

Develop Android app

Hello, I hope it is the right section to post, I'm new.
Then I explain what my problem if someone experienced or to which they will help me. You know the app for Android ITALIAN TV (TV ITALIANE) Network that allows streaming italian channel tv rai and Mediaset? app well designed.
I decided I had to develop an app very similar to watching tv make Rai and Mediaset. I state that I am not a developer, i can use a online tool to create this app. More than anything else is the passion I have. Having said that we pass to the facts. If I want to put a channel into the player and make him play Vitamio or FPLAYER without advertising how do you know? it is complicated? I'd like to understand how it works. The app I'm already has developed and improved. The only flaw is that else is publicity d beginning 13 seconds and then closes and starts automatically. But if there was a way, like TV ITALIANE or mega one to start the video without advertising would fit better and especially to make them work better on tablets and smartphones. MANY THANKS TO ALL!
If you want to test my app and give me advice

Sorry for the translation. Basically I would like to create an app to watch Channel TV streaming videos without ads and place them inside a plugin/player as vitamio or other programs how do you? equal to the app to see the American TV.
THANKS

Creating a video stream app

Guys,
I've been tasked to produce an Android app as part of my Final Year Project.
The Project requires the app to be able to playback video from a streamer on a Windows PC equipped with one of the following streaming programs:
a) XSplit Broadcaster
b) Livestream Procaster
In addition, it should have a chat function in the form of a drag down menu such that one can interact with the streamer. It does not have to be a two-way interaction - ideally the user of the mobile device will ask a question/post a shoutout via the chatbox and the streamer will answer from his computer in some way or form.
I have tried reverse-engineering an app which you can find on the market (it's called GGWORLD) and it's quite similar to what we're doing, except it's aimed at gamers and pulls streams from twitchTV and whatnot.
My app on the other hand, has to pull footage from the user's Livestream account page, should the user choose to use Livestream Procaster.
I have managed to make some sort of a UI using Eclipse. I've also found out that we need this thing called 'webview'.
Now, as I'm extremely poor at programming, one humbly asks what this webview is about, and is there any need to manually code in Java or HTML5 or XML to pull videos, as from my understanding most videos streamed on the web are in the form of a flash app.
Many thanks, and thanks in advance for answering my questions if you do.

Catch-up planner app?

I have a Sony Bravia Android TV and figured my query would apply to the Shield too (and couldn't find a Bravia forum).
I have an old PVR which is very unreliable now and was going to replace it but then thought with the availability of catch-up apps that maybe PVRs are a little redundant now.
Has anyone seen an android app that acts like a pvr letting you create a planner but instead of recording the video it then links to the appropriate app (iplayer, 4oD etc)?
