Wmc is dying.
Try mythtv. More mature and stable than tvheadend, good pvr support in kodi.

No. Tvheadend is only for Linux, freeBSD and android. It is a good solution for a backend though and I have it happily recording and streaming to multiple devices around my home. If your tuner(s) work under android or linux then imo tvheadend is a good solution.
The Hauppauge stick appears to be supported under linux, the August device is less clear !!
Given that both devices are supported under windows (uggh!!), you might consider setting up a box with windows and windows media centre. You can then use pvr.wmc within Kodi, although android support is still in alpha. See this page in the wiki for info http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:PVR.WMC
Given the OP's current hardware, this is the solution I would opt for, although if I was buying kit to set up a backend, I'd personally get linux compatible tuners and use Ubuntu and TvHeadend.
I thought that Microsoft killed WMC in Windows 10. Will the addon for WMC work if you are running backend in Windows 10?
You cant officially run WMC on Windows 10 but people found a way to do it. There are loads of guides on the internet for it like this one - http://www.windowscentral.com/install-me...windows-10 or yo can look on the My Digital Life forums too.

WMC is still a dead end. Why not use something that is actively developed and supported? If you want windows there is still nextpvr and mediaportal, others too. http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_backend

Have you considered using a network tuner and PVR? this is an appliance that saves you all the trouble and converts the Freeview stream to IP with full Kodi integration

Hi...
I can't get kodi PVR to work at all... I thought it would be easy but it's not.
I am totally stuck. Here's what I tried so far:
1) Go to Settings -> Addons -> My Addons -> PVR Clients
2) Stare at a massive list wondering how on Earth I'm supposed to know which to choose.
3) Spend over an hour trying to research about Kodi PVR clients, which is better... etc.
4) Enabled DVBLink and MythTV
5) No change. No "TV" or "Live TV" appears anywhere.
6) Tried "enabling live-tv" in the settings... that popped up a window asking me to choose a PVR client... and guess what SOMEHOW my DVBLink and MythTV are disabled... (wierd... I didn't remember disabling those.)
7) Try again about 4x... everytime these get disabled.
8) Try following instructions on the internet about using IPCTV Systems Client... this time it stays ENABLED but doesn't work... and Kodi tells me that "no backends support searching for channels"
9) Try number 8 a few more times in different ways.
10) Tried just installing every backend I could find... (NextPVR, DVBLink, etc)... nothing.
11) Tried installing a new skin... somehow that lets me see the "LiveTV" option (not visible with confluence) but it won't list any channels anyhow. Also keeps popping up errors about "NextPVR lost connection"
12) Repeated the same attempts on a different computer (Kodi + MacOSX)... same errors... which is at least releiving.
13) Try lookup about PVR tutorials again on the internet, search forums... nothing.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!!!
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING SPECIAL JUST A SIMPLE NORMAL SETUP WHERE I CAN RECORD TV ON THIS KODI BOX.
I have two USB tuners and I know they work cos they worked on the PC...
I just don't know what to do and I'm totally stuck.
Sorry for the caps but I'm sooo frustratedspent over 3 hours struggling with this.
...
Hardware: Tronsmart MX III Plus (an kodi box made just for internet TV)
OS: Android 5.1.1 API level 22
Kodi: 15.2-RC1
USB ports: 2
USB card 1: August Freeview TV Receiver DVB-T205 (V2.0)
USB card 2: Hauppauge! WinTV "DVB-T receiver with Diversity" (no idea what that means)
These two USB cards worked FINE with Windows Media Center on a MacMini running Windows 7... a long time ago. I tried getting them to work with this Android Kodi box and... nothing works...

My old HP desktop came with a Hauppauge tuner in 2012. It is my Only computer with a tv tuner! So I managed to connect the Hauppauge tuner to windows media center and it worked! I want to use the Hauppauge with Kodi. But the usual happens, ie. nothing works.
In Kodi I click on tv. It says I haven't got an add-on. Is Hauppauge listed? No. So how am I supposed to configure it? I tried selecting DVB but it won't recognise it, won't get it and won't work. PVR manager just goes round and round and gets nowhere, ie. 0%. I've no idea what to do and can't see how I can know.
Can anybody help? If so please don't assume I understand most of the language you use because I don't. This is what I understand: you need a ............. Get it here....................Click .............here. Things like that.
It's OK guys, I've found what to do. I noticed you advised using Nexttv or Myth or similar. No idea what these were but found Next on the net, got that, installed it and now it works fine and so does Kodi now it has what it needs. Seems to work very well to. Sorry to bother you all. Thank you for Kodi, far as I can see it's a great program.
