All Apps not available idea

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sometimes Apps can be side loaded and work great on GTV sometimes not.   Why 
not open up the Play Store to all Apps and give a warning msg.instead of 
blocking. ie: "This App has not been optimized for your device!  If you 
experience an issue please uninstall it and or contact the dev to request a GTV 
version of the App be released."

This has the potential to kick start App development for GTV!

Or how about giving users the option to open up the entire Play Store in 
settings as this would keep users who don't know what they are doing from 
messing around.

The main issue is in the Manifests for the app.  If they mark 
"requireTouchScreen" as true, then it doesn't show as available in the play 
store.   The bigger issue is that the play store isn't showing all GTV apps (at 
least on the device itself).  You only see Free apps, you don't see the Pay 
apps unless they are featured apps.   That is the bigger issue that needs to be 
resolved.

This is a problem that can be fixed with crowd-sourcing data. Google should be 
good at this.
