I’m working on adding TV support and making my XBMC installation a true Media Centre (including PVR support).

When I started to play with XBMC and imported all of my DVDs they were sorted with all “The ..” under T.
This isn’t surprising however there is a simple way to make the sorting ignore “The ..”.
Just create a file called advancedsettings.xml in your XBMC/userdata folder. This folder is app specific, more about this here.
<advancedsettings> <sorttokens> <token>the</token> </sorttokens> </advancedsettings>

I bought a Logitech Harmony One remote for our Home Media Centre/Theatre/Blu-ray/Sky HD mutant setup to replace 5 remotes with one and had a lot troubles getting it to work with our crappy tv which is Philips 42PFL5522D/05. If you own this tele and you just bought Harmony One save your self some time and choose 42PFL5522D and not 42PFL5522D/05 as model of TV when setting the remote up. This will make switching inputs work.
