		= Install the Add-on =
		Before installing the add-on:
		* If you installed an internal tuner card or the USB TV tuner dongle and the backend software, ensure these are working correctly and you are able to watch Live TV through the backend software.
		* If you installed a network tuner device, ensure you can view Live TV through the apps provided by the device manufacturer.
		* If you are using one of the IPTV services, ensure you have your login credentials.

		The {{kodi}} PVR add-ons are located in the official {{kodi}} repository. Locate them in {{highlight\|Settings > Add-ons > Install from repository > PVR clients}} and select the correct add-on to install.



		= Add-on Settings =
		After the add-on installs, select '''Configure''' from the add-on's Information page and adjust the settings as required. The wiki add-on page may have details on settings and the links to these pages can be found in the ''Links'' column in '''[[PVR/Backends\|Backends]]'''.

		Once you have adjusted your settings, '''restart {{kodi}}''' for the settings to take effect.

		When {{kodi}} restarts the '''TV''' section of {{kodi}} will populate with channel, recording and other details as shown in the images.

		Depending on the service you have selected, you may need to add your own channel logos. See '''[[Live TV Artwork]]''' for details.
