Family share with Apple TV

I was sent an invite to join family share on Apple Tv but I have an Android TV is this going to allow me to access the Apple TV family share option?

Some Android TV TV sets can have the Apple TV app installed. Then you can access the shared Apple TV app Channel subscription(s) through that app. (And, if activated* for your group, they may also share purchases, i.e. bought iTunes Store movies.) Of course, you may also access the shared services on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac (if they meet the software requirements).
