I want to present my dharma-guide to you - this is a full-featured guide on how to setup your XBMC properly, including your sources, libraries and customizations. I tried to keep it as viewable as possible hence I did not include everything around the XBMC - not by a long shot.

What is present in this guide?
1. XBMC - Complete guide to the setup (sources, libraries, customizations, etc.)
-> Including a full guide to the "Advanced Launcher"-Add-On
2. Sabnzbd - Complete guide to sabnzbd
3. Couch Potato - Complete guide to the Couch Potato program
4. Sickbeard - Complete guide to the Sickbeard program

In a nutshell:
I'll explain how to setup a PVR without actually owning one or using live-tv. Sickbeard and Couch Potato will give you the possibility to fully automatize your Home Entertainment Solution.

Give it a go - critic is always welcome, just post what is bugging you.

Changelog
--- V. 1.0.2
---- Updated the license model in order to allow commercial usage
---- Restructured the layout of the Media-Manager-Section
---- Added a few media-manager
---- Added "Z" to the global keys

--- UPDATE (minor)
I finally came around to change my webhoster, downloads should be faster and more stable now.

--- V. 1.0.1
---- Silly me, forgot to include the network-section which I already wrote: *fixed*

--- V. 1.0
---- release version forked (see original thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=98189)

Just a litte heads up:
I just updated my webhost and changed to a more reliable one, you should experience less problems from now on.

Also I rewrote the webpage in order to get rid of all this MS-Generated-Crap, it should work much better now (and you should be able to see all pictures Wink )
