Firstly Wecome to the Forum! I notice it's your first post.
Ok - this version of the plugin is outdated. Use the one here:

You'll need to FTP into your xbox. To do this you'll need to know your IP address.
You can find your IP adress on PMIII skin by simply hovering over settings (it will display on the right). It will probably be something like 192.168.1.X (where X is a number between 1 and 255).
Grab your favourate FTP client (google flashFXP and download the trial or something).
You can simply use explorer/IE if you like....but it's kind of limited.
Under server/host put the Xboxes IP address. Port is the default (21) and username and password are both 'xbox' (and unless you've changed this).
Navigate to your XBMC folder (usually something like E:\Apps\XBMC\) and then goto:
\Plugins\Video\
extract the zip locally Copy accross the *contents* of the zip NB make*sure* that you copy the contents not the folder created by unzipping it:
that's to say the final path should be something like this:
Code:
Plugins\video\ITV\default.py
\default.tbn
NOT
Plugins\video\ITV\[b]ITV[/b]\default.py
Then it's a simple matter of navigating to the videos section , press the white button and choose 'add source'
goto 'Browse' > 'Video Plugins' > ITV
It will display the subcatagories (Best of A to Z etc) *don't* pick them, simply choose 'OK' (on both open dialogue windows).
That's you done.
To use it simply navigate to the videos section, choose ITV, then the section you want, then the program, then 'Watch-Now' starting with 'part1' if appropriate (ITV programs sometimes come in parts to skip the ads.)
