Unable to get m3u8 stream. Even to watch in NextPVR have attached error, can watch OK in any other platform, so seems not a source issue .

How can I know that record service is ON or OFF ? If tray icon is not to touch , how I can force record ON if I detect recording is stopped ?

"403 forbidden" is an error coming back from your IPTV provider.

IPTV providers often do all sorts of non-standard stuff to try an protect people from getting access to their streams. It looks like possibly this IPTV provider is doing something different than the other IPTV providers we've encountered to date. I might need brief access to one of the streams here, so I can check what's different about it.

Unless you're having some issue with the recording service crashing, just assume it's running. It starts with Windows, and stays running in the background.

If you need to check the recording service is running, run "services.msc" (the Windows Services control panel), and scroll down the list until you find the NPVR Recording Service. It'll tell you if it's running or stopped.

You'd need to give me more info, like the error message you get, and the logs.
