test pattern

Sorry I haven't gotten back to any of the threads, been busy lately. I did change my portal and nothing the same. I will try to reset everything over the holidays and start afresh and see what happens.
Thanks everyone for responding and hope everyone has a great holiday season.
 
So I reset my IPTV then reinstalled and reconfigured potato and still get the test patterns. Every channel except nasa, some news channels, and the weather network. No VOD either the same thing.
()*$&(#@*&(#$ I guess I will retry changing servers again. It shouldn't matter if the guide isn't working as long as the PVR client is set up and running correct? This time I didn't bother changing the addy in Simple
Client until I had the channels working then I was going to try and get a guide.
 
I didn't have much luck either i followed Kens instruction to a t and changed server also, no luck i do get Vod but no channels just test pattern i reconfigured Potato many time deleted datta redid pvr deleted guide info everything, deleted Kodi reinstalled, no luck. I give up i think it might have something to do with Kodi17.6. Cerebo iptv is a good alternative. Thanks for your help Ken.
 
Hard to tell what's going on. If you're absolutely sure everything is correct in your Donation Checker, you might try setting up PVR Stalker client to see if it will load and stream the channels.

I haven't heard that there are issues with K 17.6 and Potato TV. It doesn't seem like any of the recent updates would have been that drastic. If you don't have much invested in your 17.6 set-up, however, you might try installing an earlier version, like K 17.4, to see how things work in that environment.

Yes i watched the video 2 times, i deleted kodi and installed 17.1 and went back to potato 1.1.0.r2 and set it all up, reset iptv i can get the vod and 1 channel "london" the other channels are blank, i updated potato to r11 and installed kodi17.6 over top of 17.1. I get VOD and the 1 channel London,the other channels i get the test pattern. lol. Don't know what else to try. I did change the server also, i get the same thing through potato and the tv channels on kodi.
 
Yea i finally figured it out how stupid, i had installed Bit Defender on my comp about 2 months ago and hadn't used kodi for about 3 weeks so i didn't get the connection till now. so simple you have no idea how much deleting and installing and pushing buttons I've been doing, anyways thank for everybody's help.
 
Hi Freeloader1, glad to hear you got up and running. Did you go back to 17.6 or keep the older version of Kodi? I am using a Andriod box and getting the test patterns also so I don't know if I should try to reinstall lower version of Kodi (using 17.6) or just give up. Thanks
 
He's saying his antivirus blocked access. I don't think it would have made a difference which Kodi version he was using. You, too, should check those sources for a possible issue...antivirus, firewall, etc.
