Firstly, please don't open multiple threads on the same topic, thanks.
Secondly, can you not just ask your IPTV provider for the url of their xmltv guide ?

Aye well, most IPTV stuff tends to fall into the 'decidedly dodgy' category, certainly where I am in the UK anyway. Much better to get a tuner card or two and a proper pvr backend. I've got a satellite dish feeding 2x TBS twin tuner sat cards and a backup freeview aerial feeding a dvb tuner (sadly only sd though) that is all managed by TVHeadend. Result is I can pause/rewind live tv, record stuff and do all this on any of my 4 kodi instances. They all get a fully featured guide with channel icons, show icons, full descriptions etc etc (scraped from radiotimes and updated each morning at 2.15am). I can watch a recording on any of them, or have live TV on all of them (and still can record 2 other channels) and all with just the one backend. No feeds go off or pause or stutter or don't work. It's 100% reliable. I'm already paying a licence just for owning a TV, so I figured I may as well grab all those signals floating around through the ether and pipe them all around my house. There is NO WAY I'd go back to aerial/sat splitters and the clunky set-up I used to have to put up with. What I've got now is 1000% better than a pile of receivers and a mess of wiring in each room.
If I want to extend, it's £35 for another rPi, plug it into the network (all my house is wired with cat5), plug it into a TV, install the TVH addon and job done.
