Watch TNT and Watch TBS

Watch TBS

They have full leanback UI and control, but there's a bug where they don't add a homescreen tile. Will probably be fixed in the next (and hopefully soon) update.

Awesome! Downloading to my Shield now...

I hope this means other Turner properties will come soon. (TCM, Cartoon Network, March Madness (by next March), etc...and fix CNN Go, because it's worthless in its current state.)

It looks like they pushed a test version of the Android TV apk. The activation url has "dejavu" in the url and not the standard activation url. Neither activation urls list Android TV but you can use Fire TV to get around it. And like was mentioned earlier, the homescreen tile is missing. The UI seems clean but a pretty poor effort to push a test version.

weird. i installed both. both show 'installed' on the mibox from the web page of chrome store. i can only find the tbs app in the HAL launcher. tnt nowhere to be seen.

tbs runs great though. very well made for androidtv. unfortunately you need a cable sub for anything outside of 5 min previews for episodes or 10 minute preview of live tv. was hoping to watch conan for free.

I did a teardown of the app. Android TV support is definitely intentional, but no leanback info yet. Seems like an I/O announcement. Didn't see tbs was updated too.

Hey so I used to use my someone's Direct TV credentials to get these apps to work, but it seems that is no longer the case. Can anyone confirm if this was a Direct TV change or a change across the board for all cable providers?

Help me out here: this is now available for download through the Google Play store on Android TV?

They finally pushed an update to their iOS apps with chromecast support today as well, so things are definitely afoot.

Looks cool, and was able to authenticate using the Roku option. The live feeds don't work though.

Is either one of these in 4K?
