Based on the documentation, I think you can use D-pad.

On a TV device, users navigate with controls on a remote control device, using either a directional pad (D-pad) or arrow keys.

The Android framework handles directional navigation between layout elements automatically, so you typically do not need to do anything extra for your app. However, you should thoroughly test navigation with a D-pad controller to discover any navigation problems.

Check the above link to understand more about TV device.

For your concern about NavigationView, you can check/read this document for more information.
