Thanks for that tip. I already found another workaround yesterday. I'll put my steps below just for those that might have a similar issue and find this thread here:

I added the wheezy deb to sources.list since they are not enabled on a brand new SteamOS box

Code:

deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

Then I added the deb to the pinning order

Code:

Package: *
Pin: release l=SteamOS
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: origin mirrors.xbmc.org
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release l=Debian
Pin-Priority:-10

Then I did

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc

and the magic happend. Perhaps it would be good to add a little side note on the first post that the procedure above might be required for some people.

Now I only have to find a way to bring a PVR addon into this build (tvheadend)


Edit says:


For those that struggle with installing the PVR addons:

Have a look at this page here and search for the PVR addon you need (i.e TVheadend)

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/steamos/pool...vr-addons/

In terminal you enter (in my example for TVH for x64)

Code:

wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/steamos/pool/main/x/xbmc-pvr-addons/xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts_1.9.27-16alchemist_amd64.deb

then go to where you downloaded the file and do

Code:

dpkg --install /xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts_1.9.27-16alchemist_amd64.deb

That's it, you should now be able to find and activate the Addon in XBMC.
