With MythTV you can watch Live TV, schedule recordings, view episode guide information, and many other features you expect from a DVR type appliance device. But more interesting for {{Kodi}} users is that as MythTV uses a [[wikipedia:distributed application\|distributed application structure]] it can also be configured as PVR backend (PVR server) for {{Kodi}}, supporting multiple {{Kodi}} frontends as clients, with MythTV acting as the PVR backend that does work of tuning TV signals, recording, scheduling, and post processing jobs.		<section begin="intro" />'''MythTV''' is a open source software PVR project that is designed to run on Linux, although other operating system packages are available.

You have to setup an IPv4 address for all backends (master and slave) and the PIN code to allow remote connections from clients as Kodi. Kodi could connect to the master or any slave. The master backend chooses the best tuner/host regarding of the availability. Also in the addon settings you will have to enter the IPv4 address of the master backend, not a slave.
