Start reading the PVR (wiki) pages. You will need a device like an hdhomerun from SiliconDust or backend service running somewhere.

So no way with no device just the dvb-c from the tv right ?

No. The TV's tuners won't be shared to anything on the network, including Kodi (even though it's on the same physical device).

not on the network, locally on same device

They won't be shared with anything installed, even on the same device (the TV).
Hence Kodi can't communicate with them, hence you need an external tuner source, as @bry already said.
