Mike,

Which version of XBMC are you trying to run - EDEN or FRODO? FRODO is
the latest, and greatest. I'm running FRODO right now, and have CBS with
the Super Bowl running in the background.

BTW, which Linux Distro are you running? If UBUNTU or Linux Mint (I run
Mint) I just added the 2 PPA to my repositories. If a .rpm Distro you
might just want to Google for the PPA install of the latest. I actually
am not sure if FRODO has gone final, but last I looked I was running
RC3, but it would up-date in Terminal when I ran the usual sudo apt-get
update / upgrade.

John
