Media reports new models (Smart Android) of Sony TV's are actively blocking the installation of Kodi. Slash users offer this hint and many protestations; Sony seems to be blocking the package ID for the app from being installed/run. Supporting this theory is the fact that recompiling the app from scratch with a different ID allows it to work. It's a panel that is no longer on my wish list, hope CES offers better than this.
