Looks great, but so far it seems to be just available on new TVs from Hisense. I guess this is because it has fairly large storage requirements in order to let you pause live tv.

I assume at some point it can be made available as an app if you have enough accessible hard drive space, I'm thinking it'll be doable with my Nvidia shield but probably not tomorrow. Would be cool to get this running without buying a new TV.

I guess the problem would be that a fire stick/Google TV/other TV dongle just doesn't have the compute and or storage to do this stuff. Maybe apple TV would be ready to be fair. Certainly no Samsung/LG inbuilt stuff will manage it.

Maybe this and other things like it in other countries will spur on a new category of dongle devices that come with like 500GB or more storage that will enable people to keep their current TVs.

Maybe they could offer a version of the software that comes without the ability to pause live TV, I think that's what would be required to make it work with existing hardware
