Complete guide for Newcomers to xbmc and TV-Release.

[jas0npc]

I was going to create a whole new guide about XBMC, But why rewrite whats already been written in an easy to follow guide that has helped so many people, So I thought, The best thing I can do, Is link you to some of the best guides that have already been created. Then if you have any questions, ask and I or the xbmchub community here will answer and help in any way we can.

So the first guide I am linking to is the first guide that I used when I first found out about XBMC.

http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/2012/11/...-tv-with-xbmc/

Ok so you have read the guide, Installed xbmc and are now thinking, Where can I get these addons that give us all this great entertainment for free, Well thats also been taken care off by another really well written guide, that makes finding and installing all these addons really, really easy.

You can find that guide here
http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/2012/04/...tion-for-xbmc/

You know whats the best thing about using fusion to get your apps, Well the devs of nearly every addon on Fusion are members of the XBMCHUB, So if you ever have a problem with an addon, you can talk direct to the Dev of that Addon here. Yes that right, the dev of one of the biggest addons ICEFILMS Eldorado Is here.

SO HERE is the place you need to be to talk about these addons as you WILL NOT AND CAN NOT get support from XBMC.org, YOU WILL GET BANNED IF YOU GO THERE AND START TALKING ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THESE ADDONS.
But between you and me, its more fun here.

Now your thinking wow, thats great, What device do I have that can run XBMC

Its a pretty big list...
Lets start with Any jailbroken apple device,

To install XBMC for iOS you must have a jailbroken iDevice running iOS 4.0 through 6.1.
For hardware: iPad (1,2,3,4), iPad Mini, iPhone (3GS*, 4, 4S, 5) iPod touch (3-16GB*, 3-32GB*, 4, 5). *iPhone 3GS/iPod touch 3 might work still, but iPhone 4/iPod touch 4 and higher is recommended.

That,s right you can watch xbmc while on the bus or on the train, how great is that, well I hear you, you dont want to watch it on a little screen, then dont worry, you have the choice of an Andriod powered internet tv box and also the raspberry PI, Or a dedicated HTPC costing hundreds. Infact if you want to know what device to get please ask in the forums, wjere you will get honest answers from the people who use these devices on a daily basis.

Now your thinking, erm, I have an Android device, But where do I find the Android goodies, Yes you have guessed it, I can also give you a link to that as well, I know, Everyday is like xmas day, XBMCHUB is like santa we just keep giving.... oh alright, here is the link for the Android goodies.
[RELEASE] The First End User Friendly Version of XBMC for Android

Here is a very well written guide all about the hardware that you can run XBMC on, Please read through it, It could save you making a costly mistake.

Thank you so much for this. Have used Tv-Release website for sometime now, but they have had problem with the website someime being down for a few weeks now. Not sure whether that will affect the function of this addon - but will give it a try regardless Thx again

[jas0npc]

From what I understand they had issues, So if tv-release.net is down this addon will not work sorry, but they have been sorted now, Many thanks for your kind words,

Awesome Jas0n, very much needed..
Just a tidbit correction,

with Any jailbroken apple device,

With apple devices it depends on the iOs and Device.
