Please forgive the annoying and exasperating noob, but I am brand new to the community, and to attempting to stream live TV . For better or for worse, I am using an nvidia shield, which can't decode ac3. I'm very impressed with your android app. Unfortunately in my case, I'm not able to receive audio. I'm trying to use your kodi add-on tvh2kodi, which I have installed, and I have enabled your PVR service, however I'm unable to access the server, presumably because I have no username or password. Can you please tell me how to set these up, in the simplest terms possible? Thank you in advance, and much respect for your work.

tvh2kodi is just used for configuring the tvh server from within kodi. If you're setting up tvh, you need to make sure the server and pvr addon are installed and enabled. Then you can use the tvh2kodi addon to configure and setup your adapter and scan for channels (use the wizard). You don't need to setup a username and password.
I assume your using a tuner adapter (hauppauge likely) on the shield? If so - you can also just use android TV live channels for a basic live tuner/dvr setup. You mention an android app - which I don't have, so you may be thinking of the tvh client android app that is being developed by other folks?

Thank you for answering - you're right, I am using a Hauppauge usb tuner plugged into the shield. I have enabled the TVHeadend PVR client, however I get the error message 'Service is unreachable' - log says 'unable to connect to 1270.0.1:9982
I am familiar with Android TV's Live Channels, however Shield doesn't decode ac3 audio, and my tv doesn't seem to either, so I need kodi as an intermediary to decode the audio stream, which is why I'm hoping to use your pvr in kodi. I apologize for troubling you with such elementary queries. If there is a guide for dummies available, I'll happily consult it

Interesting that you pvr client gives you that error - the server should be 127.0.0.1 port 9981. Check those settings in the tvheadend server addon and in the tvh client addon.
That error says it can't reach your tvheadend server. If the pvr client addon can't reach it - my tvh2kodi addon won't be able tot reach it either. So definitely check the settings on your tvh server addon.
Also - you could always pass the ac3 through hdmi and decode downstream. Either on the TV or if you need to feed an older surround sound setup - the hdmi to audio extractors are cheap. That way you can use live channels.

Hello, Edit. Do you have any idea on how to get the HDHomeRun Premium Channels to show up under tvheadend?? They are not actual channels, but come over the OTA tuners. I really have no idea how to explain it.
BTW, your zap2it grabber has been running flawlessly for a couple of years now........ thanks.
