Quick start guide

Editor note: The basic steps here need to be expanded with screenshots. It would be good to also emphasize or just plain repeat that people need to enable a PVR add-on before this step. If anyone has time to work on this, it would be appreciated.

Installing Linux PVR Addons

The Linux release of Kodi doesn't include any PVR addons by default. To install a PVR addon, please visit the HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux page.

For basic features on most PVR add-ons/backend, you only need to go to Settings -> Live TV -> General and "Enable Live TV". If you've set up a PVR backend and related add-on correctly in the previous steps, then you should be able to go to the next step, The basics of Live TV and recording.
