I've installed kodi on my Hisense "smart" TV its running Android Jellybean 4.2.2 is there a way to integrate live TV into kodi using the inbuilt tuner in the TV? All the android discussions I can find seem to relate to smart phones and tablets. I haven't been able to find anything relating to a TV running android. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Absolutely no way this would work.
You would need a PVR backend as a minimum and the tuner would have to be on the same box. Can't see how this would ever work.
Kodi 16.1 on main HTPC Win 7 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, Quad Core 2.4 Ghz
3 x Pi2 running Kodi 16.1 (OSMC)
TVHeadend PVR server providing Freeview HD and Freesat HD

I don't think Android has the required APIs for any application to interface with the TVs tuner. Support for that may be there in Android L but I haven't heard any real news about it in a while.

That build only works because Wetek has taken the time to add support for their own tuners. Don't expect everyone shipping an Android TV to do the same.
