You're going to need to elaborate what you're doing, and where exactly it gives you a syntax error.

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc

sorry, yes more info would probably help eh? okay, i start entering the lines step by step in "putty" ( the tutorial on appletvhacks.net) and when i go to enter the line....... wget <a href="http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb">http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb</a> and hit enter, it says that there is a syntax error "newline" as i said, im new to all of this so if im doing something completely dumb, let me know, but if you can help that would be great, thanks

Because their guide is wrong.

For that line use this instead:

Code:
wget http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2/deb/org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2_11.0-3_iphoneos-arm.deb

The rest of the instructions should be good.
