XMBC

[Waitey]

Can someone tell me what it is, what it does and how I get it?

I have an PC spare now so I want to put it on it and have it on the network in my house.

It's a Media Center client.

What do you want to know exactly.

I've seen people using it to watch TV series/Films etc but I have no idea how it works and what it pulls it all from.

Is it just a case of downloading it and watching things etc.

Or are there legal and illegal uses for it?

Just buy and jailbroken Apple TV. One of the best things ive bought.

Why buy a Apple TV when XMBC is free?

It's basically just a Media Centre app that sits on a PC Waitey, you add a list of sources (on harddrives etc) where your films/tv shows etc, and it will pick them up and add info from IMDB etc and covers.

I suggest you just have a play around, it's easy enough to use

On it.

Although I've downloaded it and it just freezes on start up.

Ive recently installed it on my Ipad and its fantastic once you start adding more sources to it. G whats xbmchub?

Edit, Its a website that is very informative and you should check it out Waitey it tells you everything
