Hi Ken I got it to work but i noticed in potato tv app in Setting it is on Viper 8690 as EPG Soarce do i leave this alone or do i change to provider otherwise it works either way thanks for the instructions and your help

The EPG url that you added to IPTV Simple client overrides the Potato TV setting, so the Potato TV setting doesn't matter.

Thanks for the fast reply seems to work great and was super easy to setup only thing not working for me is the uk channels i think they are down at the moment possibly you could check

They are down at the moment.

I'm not sure if it's just coincidence or maybe time offsets but I've noticed that a lot of the channels in Ken's guide aren't playing what is shown in the listing. Is anyone aware of any other EPG sources that are maintained that we could try?

I haven't used Ken's guide. Make sure all of your settings related to time are correct.

Here is another EPG source:

I've noticed it. You can't use offset because so many are out of sync with each other. Coming off Stalker and xml, I do like this playlist style better though.

If you are in daylight savings, you need to add (+1)hour to the EPG Guide offset setting of Simple Client.
Disable iptv simple client, click configue, click EPG Settings/ put the focus on the EPG Offset slider and use Arrow key to increment by 1.0hrs.
*click - Apply timeshift to all channels.
Save settings but dont Enable yet.
go to System Settings /PVR&LiveTV -General tab-> Clear Data cache.
go back to PVR and Enable.\

thanks ken after setting this up kodi would freeze when opening tv or guide after rebooting like 3 times i got this working but i cant open the channel manager or group manager now. what could be preventing this?

When in the System settings sections, there are 4 levels of Access(Basic, default, advanced & Expert)
You switch between levels by clicking Settings tab (bottom left tab)
Set it to Expert to access all areas of the settings.

If that does not fix it, are you running Native KODI ("Real") or a Custom Build?.
Custom builds often have many features omitted.
...just FYI
