+/// **PVR client add-on instance**
+///
+/// Kodi features powerful [Live TV](https://kodi.wiki/view/Live_TV) and
+/// [video recording (DVR/PVR)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_video_recorder)
+/// abilities using a very flexible distributed application structure. That is, by
+/// leveraging other existing third-party
+/// [PVR backend applications](https://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_backend) or
+/// [DVR devices](https://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_backend)
+/// that specialize in receiving television signals and also support the same type
+/// of [client–server model](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/client%E2%80%93server_model)
+/// which Kodi uses, (following a [frontend-backend](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_and_back_ends)
+/// design principle for [separation of concerns](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns)),
+/// these PVR features in Kodi allow you to watch Live TV, listen to radio, view an EPG TV-Guide
+/// and schedule recordings, and also enables many other TV related features, all using
+/// Kodi as your primary interface once the initial pairing connection and
+/// configuration have been done.
+///
+/// @note It is very important to understand that with "Live TV" in the reference
+/// to PVR in Kodi, we do not mean [streaming video](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media)
+/// from the internet via websites providing [free content](https://kodi.wiki/view/Free_content)
+/// or online services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and similar, no matter if that
+/// content is actually streamed live or not. If that is what you are looking for
+/// then you might want to look into [Video Addons](https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-ons)
+/// for Kodi instead, (which again is not the same as the "PVR" or "Live TV" we
+/// discuss in this article), but remember that [Kodi does not provide any video
+/// content or video streaming services](https://kodi.wiki/view/Free_content).
+///
+/// The use of the PVR is based on the @ref CInstancePVRClient.
+///
+/// Include the header @ref PVR.h "#include <kodi/addon-instance/PVR.h>"
+/// to use this class.
+///
+///
+/// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+///
+/// Here is an example of what the <b>`addon.xml.in`</b> would look like for an PVR addon:
+///
+/// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.xml}
+/// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+/// <addon
+///   id="pvr.myspecialnamefor"
+///   version="1.0.0"
+///   name="My special PVR addon"
+///   provider-name="Your Name">
+///   <requires>@ADDON_DEPENDS@</requires>
+///   <extension
+///     point="kodi.pvrclient"
+///     library_@PLATFORM@="@LIBRARY_FILENAME@"/>
+///   <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
+///     <summary lang="en_GB">My PVR addon addon</summary>
+///     <description lang="en_GB">My PVR addon description</description>
+///     <platform>@PLATFORM@</platform>
+///   </extension>
+/// </addon>
+/// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+///
+///
+/// At <b>`<extension point="kodi.pvrclient" ...>`</b> the basic instance definition is declared, this is intended to identify the addon as an PVR and to see its supported types:
+/// | Name | Description
+/// |------|----------------------
+/// | <b>`point`</b> | The identification of the addon instance to inputstream is mandatory <b>`kodi.pvrclient`</b>. In addition, the instance declared in the first <b>`<extension ... />`</b> is also the main type of addon.
+/// | <b>`library_@PLATFORM@`</b> | The runtime library used for the addon. This is usually declared by cmake and correctly displayed in the translated `addon.xml`.
+///
+///
+/// @remark For more detailed description of the <b>`addon.xml`</b>, see also https://kodi.wiki/view/Addon.xml.
