Android TV

TVs with Android TV can sideload chffr. It is not recommended to drive with a TV in your car as it has no GPS or camera and will block a significant portion of your windshield (LOL!). Useful for iOS-people running into bugs with Panda that do not exist on Android and for viewing drives on a big screen.
