TIF based on Android4TV solution

Example for iWedia's TV software stack (aka Teatro 3.5) integration with Google's TV Input Framework (TIF) on Android based TV/STB

This example is designed to show how to use some basic functionalists of iWedia's Android4TV API to implement TV Input Service for Android based TV/STB device. It provides the content that comes from live broadcast over-the-air stream data provided by DVB Tuner.

Introduction

This example features following TV functionalities:

• Channels setup (scan)
• TV and radio services
• Electronic Programming Guide (services and programs)
