The Ultimate Start to Finish Guide to Your XBMC Media Center

“XBMC is a fantastic and free cross-platform media center
application we’re nuts for. If you’ve wanted to start using it or
just wanted to customize the XBMC installation you’re already
running, this guide will walk you through everything, from
installation to total customization.

“We’ve featured quite a few XBMC tips, tricks, and guides here
at Lifehacker. We’re quite fond of it, and with good reason: It’s
attractive, powerful, and highly customizable. In fact, nearly
everyone at Lifehacker has a copy installed somewhere—and I
have XBMC networked and running on every television and computer in
my house.

“Rather than leave you to dig through the archives of all the
tips and guides we’ve shared, today we’re going to walk you through
our guides covering everything from installation to tweaking your
media and media center for the ultimate XBMC experience, start to
finish. Rather than rehash the detailed instructions we’ve laid out
in various guides, we’ll highlight the most compelling reasons for
each tweak and direct you back to the original guide for a
step-by-step walk through. When you’re done, you’ll have a
streamlined media center with some awesome skins, a tidy media
collection, automatic television show downloading, and games!”
