Actually I think it will work on Google TV. installing XBMC doesn't require rooting and will be available on the market (play) eventually so no need to side load.

It is 100% NDK-based app. So it will not work...

Why is Google not bringing NDK support to Google.TV. It seems a lot of apps are prevented from being available for Google TV due to this lack of support.
