Well that is an extremely interesting development.

What a contrast from DirecTV who disables older versions of app and requires me to sideload.

Chances are that won't change since DirecTV charges $7/month for every RVU and mini genie I have. I would pay a subscription fee to have one box connected to my TV that also does DirecTV and doesn't require a hard wired ethernet!

I absolutely hate Comcast but I would be amused if this app got live Channels support.

What about Nexus Player?

Live TV or just onDemandâ„¢ stuff that I can already watch elsewhere?

I seriously hope this is not a SHIELD exclusive. It's a nice device, but the more things get locked down to nvidia the worse AndroidTV will be on the whole.

I already have Comcast Xfinity TV Go app side loaded on my Shieldtv and it works fine! Well you need a mouse but other than than it works fine. No one else has tried side loading it?

The press release talks about having an "authorized modem." Wondering how this would work using a family members credentials....or more accurately, my own credentials for my moms account.

I have XfinityGo side loaded on my Shield but it's almost useless for my family as they don't want to be bothered with using the gamepad or a mouse to control the TV, additionally there's no way to place the app on the home screen -- have to go into the side load launcher.

They're going to have a rude awakening when I cancel Sling though.
