It is possible to add TVVIEw component to your application like this

> <android.media.tv.TvView
>             android:id="@+id/dtv_view"
>             android:layout_width="match_parent"
>             android:layout_height="match_parent"
>             android:visibility="visible" />

And it is possible to tune to particular channgel using below code

String channelUrl="content://android.media.tv/channel/"+channelNumber;
mTvView.tune(mInputId, Uri.parse(channelUrl));

input id is available in TV database(refering to which source channel is coming from).

If you pass these info to tvview it will start playing.

I would suggest everyone to go for this Google sample or implementation for Android TvView:

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.
