I'm having a bit of trouble getting my app to show up in the market under GoogleTV. I've searched google's official documentation and I don't believe the manifest lists any elements which would invalidate the program; the only hardware requirement specified is landscape mode, wakelock and external storage(neither which should cause it to be filtered for GTV according to the documentation) and I set the uses touchscreen elements "required" attribute to false.

below is the AndroidManifest.xml for my project:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.whateversoft"
    android:versionCode="2"
    android:versionName="0.1" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="Color Shafted"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.NoBackground"
        android:debuggable="false">
        <activity
            android:label="Color Shafted"
            android:name=".colorshafted.ColorShafted" 
            android:configChanges = "keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation"
            android:screenOrientation = "landscape">
            <!--  Set as the default run activity -->
            <intent-filter >
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:label="Color Shafted Settings"
            android:name=".colorshafted.Settings" 
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme"
            android:configChanges = "keyboard|keyboardHidden">
            <!--                                  -->
        </activity>
    </application>
    <!-- DEFINE PERMISSIONS FOR CAPABILITIES -->
    <uses-permission android:name = "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name = "android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen" android:required="false"    />
    <!-- END OF PERMISSIONS FOR CAPABILITIES -->
</manifest>

I'm about to start promoting the app after the next major release so its been kind of a bummer since I can't seem to get this to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance : )
