Can somebody,

Who is not as stupid as me,

Tell me BRIEFLY,

How to get TV on Kodi.

Thank you.

[Klojum]

Android has many versions. Kodi requires at leat v5.0 but newer is recommended.
Not all Android implementations on TVs work as well as others.

Getting Kodi on your TV can also be done via external devices, such as the well-known Raspberry Pi computers

Any further specifications are meaningless as we have no clue as to what your Kodi intentions are.
Should those intentions include "the latest movies and tv shows", then I suggest you move along to the next internet forum.

I do not understand anything. I just want to know how to watch TV.

Well, you better start doing a bit of reading. There is no simple 5 words or less answer.

To watch Live TV through Kodi, you need to install a PVR backend. You may also need a tuner card. Configure them, then install the equivalent add-on in Kodi.

All your compatible PVR backends are in this forum... https://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=167

Your best place to start is choosing the most suitable PVR backend then visiting their forum for instructions on how to install and configure.

Which one you choose will depend on what country you live in and where the feed is coming from (terrestrial or cable) amongst other considerations.

If you are not referring to Live TV, then you better re-think your question and explain exactly what you want.

You've been given SIMPLE instructions.

You still haven't explained exactly what it is you're trying to do, we're not mind readers and I'm pretty sure the only working crystal ball was lost sometime around 2012 (we don't like to talk about it).

If you want to watch live TV then you need to follow Karellen's post.

If you're trying to watch all of the latest stuff for free via addons then as Klojum said you're on the wrong forum.

If you want help with something specific (and "I want to watch TV" isn't specific), then you need to give us more information and help us to help you.

OK, I've no idea why I'd use TV tuner hardware, because if this was the case, I'd just use the tuner hardware and no middleman-Shield. And this is just LOCAL content ONLY.

I mean live internet TV.

Or does this not exist?

And I don't mean those BBC iplayer type things.

I need something with loads of channels from all sorts of providers.

[Hitcher]

So piracy.

Is there any setup whereby one can watch live internet TV, with an EPG covering a large range of broadcasters? WITHOUT using and external hardware decoder, or paying any subscription? Perhaps what I imagine exists, does not.

There is.  But:
- it won't be reliable
- you won't get any help here with it

Thank you Trogggy,

For shattering my illusory dreams. :-(.

Is there a guide (elsewhere I guess) to getting the least unreliable set up?

Make sure your antivirus software is up to date.
Stick 'free iptv' in google.
Good luck.
