The list includes your traditional streaming box/stick including the likes of Xiaomi as well as TVs from TCL, Hisense, and other brands.

Oh, You need Android 8.0+ to run this app. Airtel xstream box runs on android 9 but it comes under operator-tier device so need to wait for the release (if they planned for it).

Google needs percentage of the purchases made on your Android app. Apple can avoid those charges by making people make the purchases on iTunes and iOS.

They should start a website for those with only Android phone and an Android/FireTV so that they can make purchases on website and watch on Apple TV app. Apple is the only rent/buy provider without a website as of now.
