The TV support on Kodi seems to be an afterthought.
I'm a human that voluntarily clicked 'enable TV', and 'enable plug-in ServerWMC' and still the TV section doesn't appear immediately and may still not appear!
I tried to make sense of it and the only justification for it I found is that the designer is a truck driver than never record TV but only do streaming, and make a big deal if in a dead zone the TV section appear but they are no channels available to watch.
Let me explain. My wife watch Netflix often, well.. outside Kodi.
I often take over, and start Kodi, it's super fast to switch to Kodi with the remote control of Amazon FireTV.
But, then, you have to wait... quite a long time to see the TV section to shows-up at all. Ideally, I want that when I open Kodi, it's opening it directly on the TV section.
Strangely, many time everyday, Kodi need to reload the channels, reload the recordings, reload the timer, before it shows the TV section, like if these things change a lot often, so why I think a truck driver was involved ;-)
If no channel is found, the TV section doesn't shows-up! Even if I have 300 TV recording ready to be watched, it's why I believe our truck driver only do TV live streaming.
I raised the issue to the smart and responsive developers that work on ServerWMC and they told me it's the fault of Kodi.
