1. upload the entire contents of the xbmcmythtv directory to your xbmc/scripts directory on your xbox.
2. run the mythtvmain.py script and go into the settings screen to specify your connection details and paths.
3. on the settings screen, make sure that the connections test successfully then save your settings.
4. you should now be able to use the rest of the buttons on the main menu displayed by mythtvmain.py.
optional installation includes adding a shortcut to the main xbmc menu:
1. add a new button entry into your xboxmediacenter.xml file that executes q:\scripts\xbmcmythtv\mythtvmain.py
2. update the xbmc/skin/project mayhem/pal/home.xml (or equivalent for your skin) to increase numbuttons by 1.
3. reboot xbox to show the skin change.
thanks
