I've just taken the plunge and reluctantly wiped WMC from my PC. I installed Win 10 and KODI, with a NextPVR add-on. I have a Ceton InfiniTV tuner card. So far, so good. I can see live TV, looks great. Manual recording works as well. But I cannot get the EPG Electronic Program Guide to display. What's the best way to get this working? One approach which doesn't seem to work is to download an XMLTV file through EPG123, then use the KODI add-on TV Guide to pull the file in. No success. Maybe the file is not in the correct format so it can be ingested by TV Guide. I could not see a way to do this from KODI. Is NextPVR the problem? Should I uninstall it and use the PVR that is supposedly included with KODI? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I searched the forums and Reddit, but haven't found a solution. Thanks

Kodi doesn't have it's own EPG guide, it displays what you use in your backend. With the Ceton I think NextPVR is your best choice after WMC and for guide data I strongly suggest you consider subscribing to Schedules Direct. It is well worth the small cost to get guide data as good as the data in WMC and NextPVR supports it directly. For help configuring NextPVR I suggest you post on the NextPVR forums. Once you have a working solution connection to Kodi is very easy.

I am a bit confused. Do you have the Ceton configured in NextPVR to serve the live tv and manual recordings? If so in the same NextPVR setup you just add the schedules direct links for the channels that you use in the Guide Settings.

Sorry, what you have posted makes no sense. If you haven't installed NextPVR you will get an error when Kodi tries to connect to it and you wouldn't be able to record or watch live TV as you posted earlier.
