Kodi 17 in Android box - no TV tab. Why?

[nizzehult]

New here so be gentle


Have an Android box (Tronsmart) running Kodi 17.0 (20170201) and I'm desperately try to get some IPTV-channels to work but with no success.
Have followed guides, looked at youtube videos but none of them seem to help me.


I'm using PVR IPTV simple client 2.4.8 and I do have an URL that points out a valid M3U and I get the message "382 channels added" but the TV tab doesn't show up in the main menu. I can even "see" the channels in the Settings -> PVR & Live TV -> Common -> Organize Channels view.
Of course Kodi has been restarted after any change in configuration.
Have cleared databases, EPG and guide cache. Several times. No other PVR clients are enabled. Have enabled and disabled the PVR client.
Have tested another M3U-file that I loaded from a local USB Flash drive. Yes, 77 channels added but still no TV tab after reboot.
What is wrong?

Kodi v17 no longer ships with the old default Confluence Skin.
If you download the old Confluence skin and use it in place of the new default Estuary skin, you will get the TV Icon on the Menu bar.
(I prefer the Confluence skin anyway)
* The instructions posted were written before 17 was released and will be modified soon.

Thank you man, it's working!
I still can't figure out why they didn't implement this tab in the default skin...must be a lot of dudes out there that will end up in the same situation...
