I have QAM so this just allowed me to make Android TV w/ MythTV backend my whole home DVR :D

Edit: And Android TV natively lets you watch all cable card channels regardless of flag live at least.

Edit: Microsoft should make Media Center Extender OS an Android app.

Could you provide some more info on this? Are you using the new Android TV? What are you using as the player?

Thank you

Justin

I don't have MythTV setup - also it looks like it only plays backs recordings from your MythTV machine, you would have to do recording scheduling from your phone or tablet via a MythTV app. It's not a whole package deal like I initially thought.

Yes, I have an Android TV.
