1. Wetek are porting tvheadend to Android
That does sound promising, does anyone have any more information or facts about that development work?
Maybe a WeTek or Tvheadend representative can comment?
Is the development work being developed in the public on GitHub or other source code repository?

Yep - I've run TV Headend on Pogoplugs in the past.
I know, and yes most of us here know already that we could just a Tvheadend server on a low-end Linux system like example a Raspberry Pi as long as it is the same network at home, BUT still I thought I was clear that is not what I'm asking for here.
Instead I am really trying to clearly ask for a full native port of TvHeadend server to Android so that it will run on the simultaneously on the one box at the same time, with it running Android as its only OS.
The reason for this request is to meet the market of people that would like to become "cable-cutters" by just simply buying one single Android box, and for them I would like to be able to recommend Kodi and a Android box like WeTek but today can't since you can not access the Live TV and PVR parts in Kodi on Android, at least not unless you run a TvHeadend server on a other Linux box on the network which defeats the point of being able to recommend a single box.
This concept are for people who don't want to have multiple boxes running, nor have the skill or interest in maintaining an ecosystem of devices. They just want one inexpensive box, and for that one box to run Android so that they can use Android apps without having to dual-boot.
Again if needed: please see this other threads here for a deeper clarification and links
