Hello,

We've developed a way to determine what show is currently playing on a 
given channel using 3rd party partnerships in our apps.

However we are currently blocked as we want to know what channel the user 
is on. We are not interested on the show name as we can determine that 
ourselves.

In particular these given cases is what we want to cover:

   - Determine when the user turned ON or off the TV Player app
   - Determine when the user press channel up/down
   - Determine the channel NUMBER the user is on

Are any of these possible? We know there used to be a permission 
VIDEO_HISTORY which has been blocked in the public releases. Will this be 
possible in the future? Perhaps through the upcoming overlay API we can 
gather such information.

Thanks in advance!
