OK, so I tried the following:
sudo -i
apt-get update
apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly

But is says it is unable to locate the package. Any ideas? It manages to read the package list ok.

Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated. Really wanting to test XBMC with a DVBLink PVR addon that I know works on Gotham on a Windows laptop hence the effort.

Well that definitely should have worked. Hmm... What version of Xbian are you currently running? What is in your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

Beta 1. Looks like I need to upgrade to Beta 2...

Okay, belese is right, beta2 is the xbian version that is going to include the gotham nightly. So you have a couple choices. You can restore your original XBMC with this command:

sudo apt-get -s install --reinstall xbian-package-xbmc

You can backup your userdata folder and then upgrade to Xbian beta2. This is my recommendation because it is extremely stable and has a lot of new features which enhance the overall performance. Follow the link in belese's post above to the beta2 thread. Once on beta2 you can install the xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly, and then upgrade to my PVR enhanced version. I will be posting a new version tonight, and I plan to include a debian package to make installation easier.

Yes, just followed the link he posted and managed to upgrade to Beta 2. XBMC nightly now installing.

Man, I've gone from zero Linux to this in a couple of hours. My brain hurts! But thanks to you both for your help!! Massively appreciated..
