Seems this thread has taken off. If anybody can point me to important post numbers listing directions for getting XBMC setup on the Fire TV, I will update the first post of the thread to make it more informational than it currently is.

I used the minimal adb kit from xda. (rather than the full SDK download). On Windows 8.1 64Bit

And the Amazon instructions posted here, and on the XDA thread....
And the SPMC build link from this thread...

All with great success.
Only add-on I have tested is the SageTV add-on. And it seems to work fine so far.

FYI: For old displays...
I will say this. The FireTV DOES NOT like HDMI to DVI converters. In the bedroom I have an old Panasonic Plasma display (no tuner, industrial display, not even HD it's 480P Wide - what they call Enhanced definition). In that display is a DVI blade. It'll take up to 1080P 60HZ without issue from other devices (SageTV HD200, modded original Xbox console).
The Fire TV is another issue alltogether. On boot it'll go display splash animation and launch the home screen - but it looks like ass. Going to settings, and trying turn off auto resolution and force 1080P - it flat out says the display cannot handle it. I suspect it needs some hand shaking from the display that the HDMI-DVI dongle blocks, or the display is too old. In any case despite the fact that the menu system and search work as normal - when attempting tp play video (Amazon Prime Video specifically) - it reports errors.
