I’m mainly thinking about NowTV and BT Sport.
I’ve yet to find a device that has both of them natively.
(Title should say “if all the services”)

Heads up that you can sideload the phone version of All 4, but it's a pretty shitty experience and has been for half a decade. Channel 4 really need to get their act together because even itv and 5 have put them to shame years ago, I'd be embarrassed if I were working as an app engineer for 4.
You're better off casting from your phone for that one.
Maybe got a bit ranty there.
It's especially crap that the BBC doesn't have an Android TV app
No Now TV (though there is an app for Sony TV and the trials manager at Now TV said the long term goal is more Android TV devices). Though always good to throw your weight behind it by emailing trialsmanager@nowtv.com or commenting on the forum https://community.nowtv.com/t5/Set-top-boxes-Smart-TVs/Now-TV-App-on-Android-TV-Google-TV/m-p/542674#M11736
No BBC iPlayer, only way to change this is to send feedback https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help/contact-iplayer-help/#/Need%20more%20help ?

Unless they know the demand is there they're not going to act.
The Google Store listing shows YouTube, Netflix, Disney+. Prime Video, BT Sport , ITV Hub, My 5 so I imagine those will be on there.
Having to use my LG WebOS TV for Now TV when my much faster Fire TV Stick can be used for everything else is a right pain
The Roku Express has BT Sport and Now TV - https://channelstore.roku.com/en-gb/search/now+tv / https://channelstore.roku.com/en-gb/search/bt+sport
Yeah BT Sport is on there, Now TV won’t be unless they allow the use of the App that’s on the Sony TV’s on the regular Play Store.
From my feedback:
Thanks for getting in touch with BBC iPlayer support.
At the moment, there are no immediate plans to add BBC iPlayer to the new Google Chromecast, but thanks for interest. We always want to increase reach and range of devices that offer BBC iPlayer.
Our service is built on audience feedback, so we really appreciate you getting in touch to share your point of view with us. We have a BBC iPlayer Feedback Report which is where we record the feedback sent by people such as yourself, and it's read each morning by senior management within BBC iPlayer. I've added your comments to this report - do rest assured that it will be read by senior management.
The BBC iPlayer app is available on connected TV devices that have been tested and meet our standards to ensure you have a good BBC iPlayer experience. We only test devices that have been provided by manufacturers. When a TV has passed our tests and we have agreements from the manufacturer, we refer to it as certified.
I hope this helps and thanks for your patience.
Kind regards,

Android TV has a native BT sport app now.
Still none for nowtv although it's apparently being added to Sony TVs so might be able to side load it at some point. You can always cast it from your phone in the meantime however.
