Does anyone read the frigging wiki any more? PVR (wiki)

I think real issue is this same which I have.
After installing/upgrading to Kodi 14 TV -selection from main menu disappeared even working plugin for working backend is configured and enabled.
I use VNSI plugin for PVR and it connects to my VDR and shows EPG update and so as it should, but no menu to access Live stream. Recodings can be accessed via Video -menu by adding a location pvr://recordings there.
Same problem in my desktop and rpi.
⟫ kodi --version

On Helix (14) with Confluence, I find the TV option on the main menu does not appear until the PVR addon starts up properly.
Two things to try - a different skin, and take a look in your logs to see if there is a problem with the startup of the PVR addon.

With different skin everything works like it should. So problem is in Confluence -skin?

It was clean install for Kodi. Problem (for me) was VDR has corrupted his channel-listing which caused to Kodi refuse show menu when using Confluence -skin, but showed it with other skin.

What you have to understand is that you first need a BACKEND for Live TV to work in Kodi:
Again, first read http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR to hopefully try to better understand the concept and then follow that to PVR backends http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_backend
Personally I would advice you to try installing OpenELEC as your operating-system because it too have Tvheadend PVR backend integrated and is relatively easy to configure.
After you read articled linked above then checkout this one too http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Configuring_Tvheadend

Nickr, have you considered that people may well have read the wiki, but it doesn't read as a "how to", and TBH, is not really required reading if you simply want to do one or two things. It is also not really written as a basic article for people who are not already relatively au fait with that sort of thing. Kodi/XMBC for all that it is touted as an all in one media centre/player package, isn't intuitive, for all the revisions that have been made, and can be very frustrating and offputting for some people who want to do the simplest of things, the functionality of which one would be forgiven for assuming would be present already.
