An input being registered does not mean it is configured or usable. A wrong but
existing ID can be accepted by the Live TV app and open an empty tuner setup
screen, so the fallback above does not run. Use a tuner verified on your own TV,
or clear `live_tv_input_id` to restore automatic selection. In a

(Android TV 8.0, TPM171E / MediaTek), HW0 opened the player while the registered
HW9 opened an empty setup screen. This was an intent and focused-activity check,
not a picture check, and those IDs must not be copied to other TVs.
This selects an input, not a particular programme, satellite orbital position or
frequency. The TV's own channel database and player still control tuning. It does
not scan, renumber channels, replace a tuner driver or change dish settings.
