That's great to hear it should work.

It seems I have an old version of the skin (1.2.4) so I've uninstalled it on both my Pi and PC and installed the repository. However, browsing to it with Get Addons shows it empty on the Pi. On the PC XBMC crashed after it said "Repository/Addon enabled" but after restarting the repository shows as empty there as well.

make sure You have the latest repo (2.0.1) -notice there might be 2 repository showing since for a small timeframe I had an issue with the server and weird capitalization happened.

make sure you force refresh the 2.0.1 repo

then everything should work

I suggest if you have a little knowhow, to erase from ../addons/packages/ all the fastcolors repositories (and sio2) zip files

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/packages <<< on iOS

/Library/Application Support/XBMC/addons/packages << on OSX

i have no clue of location on other systems but shouldn't be hard to find.

Ah, on the Pi OpenElec I had the 2.0.1 repo package and one without a number but the same filesize, so I deleted both. I also had repository.fast and repository.fastcolours in addons so delete those as well. The path is /storage/.xbmc/addons/packages.

On the PC it's C:\users\x\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\package. There I had the 2.0.1 repo and a 1.0.8 one and the two repositories in addons as above, so deleted all of those.

I then installed the repo from the zip again on the PC and after force refreshing the files showed up and I was able to install the skin. The LiveTV button appeared by default so that's cool. The only suggestion I'd make is that there's a lot of wasted space on the Timeline EPG for the image placeholder, so think it would be better if you started the EPG at the top of the screen and just used a few lines at the bottom for the currently selected programme description, which having the whole width of the screen to use will then need less vertical space.

I then did the same process on OpenElec on the Pi. It took a very long while to auto-refresh for some reason and I could see the USB sticks light flashing and XBMC said working but eventually it unlocked. It locked up again when I drilled down into skin but I got there eventually and the LiveTV button shows and works on there too. It uses about the same CPU at idle as Confluence which is nice, around 35-60% (CPU-XBMC 45%). I tried xtv-SAF and that pegged it at 99% at idle on Home. With Confluence on the Pi, I had to disable Show recently added to get the CPU down but SiO2 doesn't appear to have these options or need them disabling and xtv-SAF doesn't appear to offer them either, so maybe they're forced enabled there, which might explain the high CPU.

Anyway, very happy I can use SiO2 with TV now
