I have rung google and no luck.

Seems a bit crazy there is no app that allows you to link live tv app and have a guide for live tv channels. Opening and then closing and then opening another app and closing and opening just to see what is available live it useless.

Thanks Though

Hey there,

The app developer develops their app and chooses what devices it can be installed on. I tried to research about this and found this thread. One of our Community members has the same issue with installing the Freeview app on Chromecast with Google TV and reached out to Freeview support. You may check the thread to see the response from Freeview. For more information, you may also try to contact Freeview.

Let us know if you still have other questions and concerns.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hello binu,

Thanks for posting. The Chromecast with Google TV isn't officially supported in India, so other features such as installing the apps or streaming Live TV's that are available in your country may or may not work. I'd suggest you send feedback about this using the Google Home app. Here's how.

Regards,

Jennifer

Hi.

I reached out to Freeview and it appears Freeview is not available on”chromcast with google tv” (see Freeview response below)

is there any app available for “chromcast with google tv” that will allow me to obtain a guide on live tv channels??? It’s takes far to long to open each live tv app (eg abc, SBS, 7plus, 9Now, 10play etc) just to see what is on for live tv.

thanks

fyi Freeview response

the link takes me to “google play” but not all app on “google play” appear when searching using the “chromecast with google tv”.
Is there an app that can be used for “chromecast with google tv” that will link /show free to air channels and a guide?

thanks

Hi Sean2,

When you go to the link I've provided, choose All your apps on the upper part of the site then click on Live TV & Sports. As an alternative, you may choose from those supported apps for the Chromecast with Google TV.

Also, I'm afraid that we don't have a partner app with the same feature as the app you're looking for. I'd suggest you send feedback about this using the Google Home app. Here's how.

Let me know if you have other questions and concerns otherwise, I'll be locking this thread after 24 hours.

Thanks,

Jennifer
