200 bucks to install free software?!? I guess there's one born every minute!
I'd be interested to know if any of that money gets back to the foundation.

It's stupid, but doesn't break any open source licensing rules.

There is value to the consumer of someone else setting up their software. If XBMC worked out of the box for everyone all of the time, these forums would be pretty empty. Whether it is worth $200 is another matter. Having said that, we have all spent far more than $200 worth of time, even at minimum wage rate, on our systems.
The problem is continued support. When that company ceases to be responsive to support requests, and the users realise that they really bought XBMC, they'll be here looking for support for a system that has all sorts of unknown mods and addons.
At that point I guess we send them to the HUB LOL.

Fair enough then.
I see they have channel1 plugin in on their pictures, I wonder if they discuss the legality of it?
I imagine not.
