any way to record Together TV (UK)?

[Gemma]

I'm a new user of NextPVR, having recently bought my first TV tuner (which I plug into a USB port in my laptop). 

I'm chuffed that I've finally stopped my laptop going to sleep, so programs are successfully recording. I can move them to my external hard drive and still play them back on various devices in the house using Kodi. Life is good!

There's a TV channel in the UK which I'd like to be able to record programs from, but I assume I can't. It's Together TV. Until recently it appeared to be broadcast as a normal Freeview channel. Now it seems that it still has a published schedule, but if you tune into Freeview channel 83 with an old-school Freeview TV, or my TV tuner/laptop, you can't watch it.

It apparently only works on Smart TVs now, when they're connected to the internet.

My laptop is connected to the internet while it's recording, but (unless there's a setting I'm missing) this hasn't helped, and I can't watch it as if it's still a normal broadcast channel, and I can't record programs using NextPVR. Any suggestions?

[I can watch on demand via their website/Android app, etc, but none of that's designed for recording/saving.]

Not sure if this is permanent URL but it works at the moment here. Try it as an IPTV m3u file and see.

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="Together TV",Together TV

Thank you mvallevand. If I'm going to try out your suggestion, I'm going to need some sort of hand-holding guide for how you use IPTV.

I tried to simply copy/paste just the url into the IPTV bit in the webclient, but nothing magically happened. I did however discover the (almost certainly unrelated) fact that I now can't watch live TV or record from my digital tuner. It's all gone a bit awry. But I've posted asking for help in the Windows forum, so I won't cross post here.

No unfortunately IPTV won't take direct m3u8 links, hopefully one day. You need to create a file with the information I gave save on your drive as an m3u file and then import it.

However as I kind of expected the original URL is no longer playable so this probably needs an Extra and the channel isn't that interesting for me to try and write one. I did update it to a working URL to give you the idea.
