PVR Advice - wobblewoo - 2016-04-19
So new to Kodi and ive just set up on a Pi3.
Can someone point me in the right direction to et up a PVR with a EPG service please? Im guessing i either need another computer to run the PVR or a NAS.
I hope this isnt too vague.
Basically i would like to schedule recordings and playback recorded programmes.
Thanks

Great place would be to start here: PVR (wiki). Depending on what you would like to do and your location schedulesdirect.org is great for $25/yr.
If the local cableco has cablecards and channels that are not DRM protected a lot of people (myself included) like the silicondust products.
I have their dvr servce (beta) and use it very happily to record to my QNAP nas.
Once files are recorded they are processed by MCE Buddy that is running on a local windows machine to remove commercials and re-mux the files to a smaller size.
good luck!

If you want end-user support and non-development advice then please post in the support section instead, as per the link here:
http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=167
There is of course also the wiki, see:
http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR/
and
http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_backend
If you are indeed just an end-user then checkout LibreELEC or OpenELEC for Raspberry Pi as they ship with PVR backend software.
You still need a physical TV tuner adapter with antenna to recieve a signal that the PVR backend software can record or stream.
