But how does the search giant plan to reach those heights? One way is by expanding its home entertainment platform's (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/25/android-tv/) support for live TV programming, with a new feature called Android Channels. What this lets users to do is view video-streaming apps on the same program guide as traditional channels, including those from ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and other broadcast networks. If you're familiar with theXbox One (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/19/xbox-one-live-tv-microsoft-history-what-to-expect/), you'd know that Microsoft's console offers similar functionality.
