# Sample for live TV Input Framework (TIF) on Android TV
|
|
|
|
This app is designed to show how to build live TV apps for Android TV. The sample is a service that once installed, it's recognized and run by the default TV app.
|
|
|
|
It consists of:
|
|
|
|
* Simple TV input: 2 channels from local video files
|
|
* Rich TV input: 4 channels served from Google Cloud Storage consisting of MP4 videos, HLS stream and MPEG-DASH stream
|
|
|
|
Users can set up these TV inputs using the Live Channels app.
