    Then save


    To Download and install open terminal

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install xbmc
    If you wan't skins not just default PM3 you do

    I've watched this in use at byrnies place & it is very impressive. It automatically pulls all the Info for each movie from IMBD too. Well worth looking at
