No, the other install was a completely different Windows PC. With the raspberry, it was always IPTVsimple backend, before and after upgrade. But no long term experience, have the raspi only for a few days now, first experience.

What do you suggest as best TV backend? My experience and feeling say Tvheadend or Tvmosaic?

TVMosaic)
I do not know TVMosaic, so I can't say anything about that solution. AFAIK you need the Plus version if you want to run backend on different machine

TVheadend)
I'm using this without serious issues, but I know about 2 little annoying problems
1) With Kodi v18, LiveTV stutters for about 3s after starting (an issue has been already reported to github)
2) Walking through the timeshift buffer does work very well if you have a slower backend (like mine)
So I do not use TVH for LiveTV, but for recording it's great (because of supporting EIT)

VDR)
I'm using VDR for LiveTV, that is working perfectly on slow backends, and timeshift is absolutely flawlessly
