I think refresh of the list needs some work. It cannot automatically 
detect new shows so it does not know when to refresh. With android phone 
applications, pulling down from the top is the action that normally 
invokes a refresh. I don't know if there is any standard Android TV 
action to invoke refresh. At the moment you can force a refresh by going 
into settings and exiting again from settings. You don't need to change 
any setting, just going in and out will cause a refresh.
