Mmmm, can probably do it just by following the normal Ubuntu instructions (add the repo + install mediacenter23).

That is what i am confused about; what repo do I need to point to?

Not very familiar with how repos and apt really work.  Might not be the right place to ask but do you have any suggestions as to where I can learn more about repos and apt. Trying to get smarter on Linux.

Thanks

You're talking to the right guy.

Awesome Donkey:
Re-read the tutorial carefully, especially step one as it slightly explains what each of the three repositories are for (e.g. updates).

This is a technical explanation of what the repositories are in general: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository

And this is a technical explanation of what APT repositories are: https://blog.packagecloud.io/eng/2015/08/04/apt-repository-internals/

Basically, you pick and choose one repo you want; do you want the stable repo (with more stable builds which are updated not so often), the latest repo (always the latest build, may or may not be very stable, it depends but they generally are in my experience) or the beta repo (there's beta releases now and then). I'd pick between stable or latest in this case. Once you pick a repo, you add it via the command posted for that repo above.

In step 1 you say :
--- Quote ---download and add the correct mediacenter.list file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ depending if you're using 32-bit or 64-bit
--- End quote ---

This is where I get lost.  Are there different repos for the 32 and 64-bit versions; how do I indicate I want the 64-bit version as opposed to the 32-bit? There is only 1 repo for each release stable/latest/beta.
