Dune 4K Android TV player isn't providing leanback interface

I recently bought a Dune 4k Android TV box, but it appears when I install the Channels app that I'm getting the standard android phone/tablet layout and not the Android TV layout - is there anyway to tell the server that the client is actually an Android TV or a way to set it in the app? Right now in my google play store it appears as Android tv175n if that helps at all.

most reviews for that are not in English.
From translate, a few reviews state it is some Android rom, not certified signed Android TV, thus some apps and services do not work.

it is probably not actually using Android TV.
