How to install Helix App on an Android TV box such as a NVIDIA Shield or other ?
I read on the Videotron site that the Helix app can be installed on an Amazon FireStick, has anyone successfully done so? What about other Android boxes? Any suggestions?

I have tried to side load the helix APK on Amazon Fire TV and newest Chromecast GoogleTV (the one allows to install apps). In both cases, the Helix app can be launched (passed the login) and I can see the UI. On the FireTV, it cannot display any content (channels, recordings etc.) and says something like cannot find such info. On GoogleTV, it actually displays all my info (channels, recordings) as if everything is normal. However, when I try to watch any live channel or recordings, it says "This video stream is not playable under the current device condition...". So I guess the app intentionally blocks such usage until it officially supports it

In addition to number666, I tried Chromecast and that didn't work either (no error just 3 dots sliding). The only success I had using helix app to display on tv was via Mini PC.
I'd like to know if anyone has had success running the helix app on Android TV though.
