2 Newbie questions

[RonBo]

Hello NPVR community,
  I'm very new to NPVR.  Using the PC ver. for a week. 

Just FYI... my house is in a canyon that makes receiving OTA channels impossible.
I was a subscriber/donater to LoCast before they closed up.  Now I'm here.

2 Questions:
  1)  Would anyone have a recommendation as to a good source of USA IPTV links for solid reliable local channels?
Willing to subscribe to a service if needed.  I found several IPTV services but they seem a bit questionable.  
       Does anyone have a recommendation?

  2)  What is the easiest way to insert a new (.m3u8) link into the channel listing of NPVR when a working link dies? 
I am currently editing a hand made .m3u collection of links then going into settings and go thru several
steps to delete the old link and re-import the new.  Then relink the EPG to the channel.
Is there an easier way?

Thanks,
Ron

IPTV is typically questionable. Certainly some sources are more stable then others but no one talks about them in forums, reddit etc for obvious reasons.

Channels DVR while still questionable and not proven in court, since they also don't license material, can provide cable m3u8 streams but they can't provide local stations any better than NextPVR.

If your manual file uses the same channels you just change the links and update the IPTV source and NextPVR will change it for you. You would need to delete "channels" that are no longer in the source.
