What I have understood that you have created a app by using renowned TV channel name and its screen shots. Now the channel had sent you a legal notice demanding to remove the app immediately alongwith apology and compensation.
I will advice you to remove your app immediately and all links to that.

Sir

it is necessary to look at the APP, before advising you appropriate course of action. If the APP stores and initiates transmission of the protected contents, then this amount to copyright infringement and also violation of IT Laws.

However, if your APP merely acts as an intermediate, providing hyperlink / access to media stored over third party server, then in such situation your act is saved under the IT Act, and you are not liable.

Also, it is necessary to peruse the APP to verify its exact use an purpose. If such use can be classified as "Fair use" then also you can be exempted from any liability.

So, after perusal of all the details, i can advise you steps to proceed further. In any case you have to sen reply to the legal notice serve upon you.

Feel Free to contact for detail consultation
