TIPS

Read the Manual when upgrading your HP ProLiant MicroServer.

Make sure all your media is scraped properly.

Backup your PseudoTV Channel Setup regularly.
(C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.pseudotv\)

The best setup comes from organizing your media and spending time to plan your channels
properly.

You can use the included Excel file as a template for your own channel setup.

If a channel has too much content, try to split it up into 2 channels
(Discovery and Discovery HD, BBC 1 and BBC 2, MTV and MTV Dance, etc)

If you have many movies of a specific genre, split that channel it up into 2 or more channels
that each play a different era of the genre.

Spend time on working on your Channel Setup (meaning the Wordpad/Excel file).

Don’t just limit yourself to my Channel Setup, if you have a lot of DIY videos, make a DIY
Channel! The sky is the limit and everybody’s system will be different.

Add a rule to hide the PNG logo on channels that have them encoded into most shows.

Map your HTPC hard drives as “Network Drives” in Windows.

Convert all downloaded bumpers to MPG or AVI, FLV is not the best format for XBMC.

Buy 2TB or 3TB drives for your HP ProLiant Microserver to increase storage capacity.

Drink lots of milk to give you strong bones (if you move your HTPC around a lot).

Spend some time creating a few channels designed for your Wife/Girlfriend.
