Could you build this?

Partial The Android TV client UI is straightforward, but backporting modern Android TV architectures to Android 5.0 (API 21) on legacy TV chipsets while reverse-engineering proprietary video streaming APIs requires non-trivial platform expertise.

What it would actually take: The app needs a native Android (Java/Kotlin) TV interface using Leanback or custom D-pad navigation, using legacy ExoPlayer versions compatible with API 21 and older media codecs. The primary challenge is reverse-engineering Hongguo's private mobile/TV API endpoints, decrypting media streams or handling token authentication, and managing memory constraints on low-end TV hardware (e.g., LeTV Super 3 X55).
