Live channels timeshifting?

by anonymous_labrador

Does anyone have any insight into Google's plans for the live channels app or their handling of free-to-air broadcasts? I would love to have PVR functionality in Android TV, but simple timeshifting would at least be a good start.

I have been trying to get Live TV in Kodi to a state where it works reliably enough to get high WAF but it just seems too flakey to use 100% of the time.

I don't think Google is planning very much for it. Right now it just seems like a place to store Internet streams and cable using a singular interface. It would be hard to add additional features to streams without a large investment.

I'd seriously love timeshifting. I can get kodi on the shield TV to play live TV but there's no timeshifting strangely. I'm using the MediaPortal TV server on my pc ( which has a pcie TV tuner)... Over Ethernet. I get live TV and EPG in kodi. I can start manual recordings, but not schedule them. Meanwhile I use the aMPdroid app to schedule recordings and look at EPG.
