Thanks for the quick response.
I've enabled tvheadend service backend.
But I can't connect to host ip:9981. to configure it.
I can connect to the m8 from the PC with the IP, but not to the 9981 port.
Any help.
Cheers

First be sure you installed backend and not client. Then check in backend configuration from kodi that it don't wait for an adapter to start. Then reboot and try again.
If it still doesn't work start a ssh session and look with command "top" if tvheadend is started. There could be two lines with tvheadend.
If it's waiting (not started):
sh ... tvheadend.start
If it's started:
tvheadend ...

Did you make a reboot? Have you installed tvheadend as service from the repository? And is it activated?
In your screenshot there is no tvheadend running. Maybe not installed or activated yet.

There's a problem on some boxes that is not fixed yet in OE.
