Make sure to set the number of tuners to 1. Locast does not like the speed of channel changes during initial scanning. Doing a force scan will create the mux and service values. 2) Next you can setup the grabber. I use a URL grabber which is an extremely small file

Have the grabber run and populate the EPG data into the EPG Grabber Channels tab. 3) In the Channel view, select Map all channels.

This will tie the services, EPG and channels together, automatically. After this, re-grab the EPG data. This will populate the EPG tab with shows. I also updated the Number column with the channel number. 4) Display the TVGUIDE. This appliance has special features which maps the tvheadend genre, giving colors on tvguides. It also has enhanced guide descriptions and optional additional channel notations if you use many streams. Below is the Kodi tvguide using the pvr.hts plugin.
