Do you actually expect an answer ?
You are missing the PVR client addons on some unkonwn build on some unknown OS on some unknown device. The PVR addons should be built in repository for your OS/platform/device. On Ubuntu it would the kodi-pvr-nextpvr package for example. In OpenELEC or LibreELEC you have PVR clients in their respective addon repositories for OE/LE.

stefansaraev - Correct. (Regarding unknown build.)
MarchHare, NextPVR is meant to come with standard builds of Kodi, from information I have found online. To get it, you need to either install a vanilla build of Kodi which includes it, or add something which will work in its' place. Please note that this device is one of the ones mentioned in Kodi news as killing Kodi, for what it does to the project.
From reading the NextPVR site, it looks like you can try X-NEWA or simply reinstall with a supported Kodi build. If you really want to cut corners, perhaps transplant the addon from another (compatible) system.
On another note... please do not stir drama with other members of this forum, if you do not provide enough information for people to help you, they can only guess. Help us, to help you.

I was just hoping for a little direction on whether it can be done; loading the addons into a Kodi installation.
If it can't, just let me know and I'll stop bothering you and find another solution.
I wasn't trying to cause any drama, I just wanted to find out if there was a solution and got the answers I got.
When an obviously new member asks a question and immediately gets jumped on, it's not the new member who is trying to cause drama.
I'll be leaving now.
Thanks.
I sit beside the fire and think, of all that I have seen; of meadow flowers and butterflies, in summers that have been.
But all the while i sit and think, of times there were before, I listen for returning feet, and voices at the door.

if the addon is not already installed (it is supposed to bundled with your installation, on android) - you probably can't install it, at all, even if you manage to get a .zip somewhere. in past 2 years, pvr api was changed at least 10 times, so pvr addons are very "kodi version specific".
EDIT: and btw, you are not jumped on. but we have some (written) rules there, at least show us a debug log, that increases the chance of getting helped

Hi Nickr, I did not install it, a technician at my husband work did all for us but has since advised me to install DaHenchmen Kodi and has provided step by step instructions but am cautious now as all else works perfectly except I wanted to add TV on my main menu with the ability to record live tv and followed steps to do this but could not find pvr simple client to install and that's where I have been at since. Sorry technician is looking into the issue that I cannot find pvr simple client but looking for advice on my own as need to get this right on my own as well.
