DVBViewer PVR Client review
A free Kodi add-on for DVBViewer live TV, recordings, EPG data, and timers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DVBViewer PVR Client connects Kodi to DVBViewer Media Server so viewers can stream live TV and recordings within Kodi. It is aimed at people who already rely on DVBViewer Media Server and want Kodi as a client for those sources, rather than users seeking a standalone TV service or a broad media add-on. Kodi lists builds for Windows, macOS, and Android, and the add-on is free under GPL-2.0-or-later.
Its core feature set is focused: live TV streaming, recording playback, electronic program guide (EPG) data, and timers. That combination makes it relevant for viewers who want program information and timer functionality alongside playback. The integration is specifically with DVBViewer Media Server and Kodi; the published scope does not suggest a general-purpose connector for other TV backends. Choose it when those two products are already part of your setup and these viewing functions meet your needs.
Installation is available through Kodi’s add-on interface or manually from a ZIP. That offers a standard in-app route as well as a manual option, though the latter may suit users who are comfortable handling an add-on ZIP. Community is the listed support channel, so buyers should be comfortable relying on community support rather than expecting a stated direct support channel. Pick DVBViewer PVR Client for Kodi-based access to DVBViewer live TV and recordings; look elsewhere if you need a different server integration or features beyond the add-on’s playback, guide, and timer focus.
