INSTALLING PSEUDO TV
As said before, PseudoTV gives you the ability to watch all of your media just as you would
with normal cable.
After the initial installation of this script, it will create a few default channels for you and you
can see what it does in its basic form. (provided your media has been scraped properly)
You can download the PseudoTV script through the Add-on repository in XBMC itself, but I
would recommend getting the latest version from github instead.
To do that, go to
and save
the file to your computer.
The file will be called “Jasonra-XBMC-PseudoTV-v1.0.0-201-g7051003” or similar.
(It will be version 2 though, I have no idea why the file has a v1.0.0 in it)
You may move the file to your HTPC before installing, if you prefer.
https://github.com/Jasonra/XBMC-PseudoTV/zipball/stable-pre
In XBMC, go to System > Add-ons > Install from zip file.
(After selecting Add-ons, you might need to hit backspace to get to the root of “Add-ons”)
Browse and select the PseudoTV file you have just downloaded, and it should install
automatically from there.

PSEUDO TV IN ACTION
PseudoTV also enables you to define
and create your own channels, which
is exactly what we will be doing soon.
Later on, we will add network logos,
channel idents/bumpers and adverts
to complete the full experience.
It will not be difficult as such, but may
take a few iterations before getting
the perfect channel setup.
QUICK TIP
A very stable build of PseudoTV is also included with this PDF for your convenience.
If the latest build from Github gives you problems, use mine - it has been tested and works.
