    I use tvheadend (as backend) and Kodi as frontend. Works well for me.

    I like that tvheadend can map multiple services/muxes (m3u channels) to the same channel, so if one channel doesn’t work it silently switches to another service/mux.

    I use guide2go to download EPG via schedulesdirect, with excellent quality (including posters and icons).

    It is a bit tedious to setup all the mappings in tvheadend but it can be automated with some scripts that give the same channel the same tvg-id and set the tvh-prio properties. Only have a hundred or so channels that I use so I just do it manually.

      I use tvheadend for ota tv channels via an aerial and a dvb-t2 tuner card, but I’ve not yet tried setting up IPTV channels. Is there a guide out there somewhere for setting it up as you describe?

      It’s a fantastic back end and I’ve tried a few. NextPVR on windows, mythtv, mediaportal but none works as well as tvh once it’s set up.

      I’m personally checking out this Top 50 List but if anyone has a better list or source we are all ears.

      As a simple test for trying out an IPTV app I’m using this m3u source. It is what another IPTV app called Hypnotix uses as the default m3u source.

      For IPTVNator, which video player do you use? I tried videojs and html5 and nothing would come up.
