Google Live Channels on Philips AndroidTV

by m4nu4l

Greetings, i would like to ask for help on how to correctly install Google Live Channels app.

Since last software update my Philips androidTV (32PFT5500/12) allows installs from unknown sources (finaly), so i gone ahead and tried to install Google Live Channels apk, since it is not available for my device in Play store, and i couldnt install it, all it said is (app was not installed), so i guess the problem was that Google Live Channels was already pre installed in my tv, and philips somehow tinkered with it that i would not be able to update it, nor to be able to launch it.

So my question would be, without gaining root access, is there any possible way to install the Live Channels App to my TV, maybe somehow to create dublicate app that could be run alongsite the old live channels app or somehow like that ?

Sorry for long post, i hope you understood my poor english

I doubt this will work (or anything will), but it might be interesting to see if this will work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.parallel.intl

Parallel Space-Multi Accounts, lets you have two copies of the same app. Meant for things like Dropbox or the like, but maybe?

Check your inputs the way sony implemented live TV is, as an input instead of an app and I don't think it's updated via the app store
