I am curious to what I should do and what guides can help me. I am new and have just built a htpc. everyone seems to like xbmc. So I want to try it out. I have a infinitv 4 coming In the mail and want a xbmc that has live tv and HD audio bitstream support.
What Version Should I use?
where are the guides to get me going?
Should I use a beta version?
THANKS
PAUL

The Eden release of XBMC doesn't support HD Audio so you will need a Frodo release from the nightly source.
I don't really know about the TV yet, just keep in mind that XBMC isn't a system for interfacing with TV cards, it's a front-end only and must still be fed by a backend for streaming the TV source. I use a Ceton as well but I do everything through WMC for TV integrated with my WHS and other WMC workstations. It's the only way to go if you want DRM flagged channels unfortunately.
