Could you build this?
Partial The Apple TV UI, discovery, and navigation are vibe-codeable. Live playback of BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 depends on broadcaster stream endpoints and DRM, which are hard to access legally and reliably.
What it would actually take: A real version needs stable, licensed or reverse-engineered stream endpoints and FairPlay DRM handling for tvOS playback, plus EPG data sources. The hard parts are the streaming and DRM integration and keeping it working as broadcasters change their systems, which requires media-streaming and licensing expertise.
