In Leia I used Simple Client for the IPTV Manager supported channels, and IPTV Archive Client to get other channels from an EPG provider.
Now I have kodi 19.3, which doesn't support Archive Client. So I'm looking for a second IPTV client that enables me to connect to my EPG provider. It would have been super if Simple Client enabled multiple sources.

Thank you, seems to be what I need.
I'd like to try it out, but is there a zip file I can download? I'm not a programmer myself.

I understand the difference. On LE/CE it is quite easy to install TVHeadend or NextPVR service using a packaged zip addon from Kodi, mostly with python and LE enhancement for package install scripts. It helps that LE runs as root. After configuring the tuner then the backend on the Kodi appliance provides easy access to local /dev/dvb or network tuners perfect for live TV.

Right multiple instances of the same pvr with different addon_data folders.

For my reasably unique use case it is pretty simple to rezip the package with a different addon.xml changing just the id and name does all the heavy work
PIP will be quite different it will be more involved in all the stream handling calls from one addon.
