== I want to run my PVR backend server on... ==
You can run the PVR backend server on one of your existing XBMC installs, or on its own.
 
Use the tables below and click on the PVR backend software which best fits your needs.
 
=== Android ===
Sorry but there are not yet any compatible PVR backends that runs natively which have a PVR client addon for {{Kodi}}. Android is only added here on this page because requests and enquirers about PVR backends for Android compatible with {{Kodi}} is a frequently asked question.
 
If you want to get access to Live TV, EPG, and the other PVR features in Kodi running on Android then you currently need you use a workaround today such as runing your PVR backend on a other a computer or device on your local network to stream the video to Kodi running on Android

=== Raspberry Pi ===
The Raspberry Pi is technically just an embedded linux platform, but it's low price and features make it perfect for a PVR backend. In addition to this, since a lot of people will hopefully be using R-Pi's as backends, it will make it easier to streamline setup guides and provide help due to most of the hardware being the same for everyone.
 
Like every backend, the server needs to receive the live signal from a receiver. A typical DVB USB stick will do, but be aware that such a stick takes its power supply via the USB interface. It might be required to put a USB hub with independent power supply between the R-Pi and the DVB stick. Make sure that the DVB stick works with the linux OS on the R-Pi. Information can be found at http://linuxtv.org, including firmware downloads for many sticks. Alternatively, you may want to check the directory /lib/firmware on the R-Pi to list the firmware already installed.
 
/var/log/dmesg and .xbmc/temp/xbmc.log are files to check if the TV signal is not available.
