What's the difference between webOS OSE and webOS TV?  
I can find barely information about webOS TV, does anyone know? Also, I want to know, can the same native app be installed into both webOS OSE and webOS TV?

If anyone can help, I would be very grateful, thank you!

Since TV platform opens only for partners, so it is hard to find information about TV platform for external developers.

And it is also difficult to explain the difference between two platforms. As far as I know, some platform features (ex. TV specific features) and LS2 APIs are different.

I don't know about the relationship between Android and Android TV.

webOS TV includes many, but not all, features of webOS OSE.
