Well maybe I am , But mine is working flawless with the clairvoyance downloads
all I did was delete the epg xml re-enabled tv and working great with full guide no need for
XMLTV Scope to local to kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.stalker/epg_xmltv.xml
I only have "1" typed in mine and XMLTV only on 16.1 kodi as per the instruction sticky's
for kodi 16.0

Well, you both are kind of correct. The URL is needed for Kodi 15, as the 'epg cache' file technique isn't used there, but in Kodi 16 it's only a placeholder. The most important setting if using the epg updater is to make sure you are selecting "XMLTV only". The "local" scope will work if you use the "Prefer XMLTV".

The thing is... if it works... it works.
