Using Live Channels App with Sony Android TV

by fab4272

Hi all, I have a HDHomerun tunner on my home network. Recently installed the Google Live Channels app on my Sony Android TV and configured my HDHomerun as its tuner.

When I hit the TV button on my Sony remote, it asks for the first time if I want to use the "Live Channels" app or the Sony "On Air" app as the live tv app. When I select "Live Channels", it binds to the TV button on the remote.

Unfortunately, I cant do the same with the TV's EPG button on the remote. It doesn't give me the option to use either the Live Channel EPG, it defaults to the Sony EPG app.

I'd love to change that as the Live Channels EPG looks a lot better.

If anyone has any idea it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Download the app button mapper on your Sony. I used it on my Sony x900e to map the TV button to launch my DiretTV Now app. Works like a charm.

I had this problem the other day. I don't think it can be done. You can access the live channels epg via the apps menu though

Just resurrecting this thread. When I install the app Button Mapper on my Sony TV, there is no application I can find that will launch the Live Channels Guide, hence I can't map it to my guide button on the TV remote.
