Answer 1

private boolean isDirectToTV() {
  return(getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_TELEVISION)
      || getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_LEANBACK));
}

This will return true if the device is advertising itself as having either the android.hardware.type.television or android.software.leanback system features. Android TV and Fire TV handle this correctly; I have not tried it on other environment as yet.
