I bought a Chromecast with Google TV and plugged into my TV. I downloaded the Live Channels app from Google wrongly assuming it would have been able to get TV channels, but it can't.

Is there a way to watch live TV on the Google TV? I know it's a "first world problem", but I just find annoying having to switch output and then get the tv remote controller.

I tried installing Kodi with the add-on World TV Helper to see the DDT channels. The app Live Channels couldn't pull the data from Kodi, but within the app everything works fine. The only problem is that I don't know how legal this is.

I mean, all the IpTv channels are free DDT channels I can watch on my TV by simply switching input. But some of those channels have apps that allow you to watch the same channel you do for free on your TV, on your mobile/Android TV... By paying a subscription. So, even if it doesn't make much sense, I assume it's illegal.

Are there better ways to get DDT channels inside the Google TV UI?
