Really wish that Android TV was listed, even under "Not Yet Available"

Is anyone considering switching from Vue to this? Vue seems a lot better in my opinion but I guess it comes down to how much losing the Viacom channels effects you.

Note:  You will be prompted to download the Silverlight plug-in when you first stream using a web browser.  If you experience issues while streaming with the Safari browser, we recommend using Chrome to stream DIRECTV NOW.

So, no Linux support even though Chrome works there.
