What's the minimum download speed to get decent quality if you're streaming
I've been using XBMC since I had a 10/1 connection, my connection is now 30/5. It's not so much about your own connection as it is finding the fastest stream, in 1channel the best links to use are those from Sockshare, Daclips and Gorillavids. For some reason the sockshare I think is the premium version and there's no data cap as far as I can tell, I've watched a ton of episodes back to back with it and no hiccups ever.
I am frugal. Doesn't make sense to pay $150+ per month on shyt that I had and didn't turn on for almost weeks straight. In 2011 I had nba league pass bb, mlb.tv, hulu+, and netflix...I went weeks without turning on the dvr due to all the piff I had easy access to online from multiple locations
Liquid is more than just a username also, its a philosophy. Everything is mobile, so why pay for things that are in a static location? I use my netflix account more when I am out of my house than I am when I am in it. I am dropping my home internet for T-Mobile 4G soon because I calculated my data usage and makes sense for me to do so (Even if I AM paying more). My job has some pretty heavy restrictions on the internet so its a gain in my book. Someone like @Malta who seems to watch much more programming than I do probably still needs home internet, but I still have that NYC attitude in where my place is basically a sleeping pad.

1channel add-on
1Channel Addon Repository | XBMC HUB
Once you've installed XBMC, download the 1channel zip file and save it to your desktop so you can find it easier. Then, open up XBMC, go to System > Add on > install from zip and select the 1channel add on which is on your desktop. It will install it and then you can add 1channel button to your menu bar in XBMC like this -

I use 1channel primarily for TV shows, and once you get the hang of it you find out which links stream the best (Sockshare, Gorillavid, Daclips by far).

NAVI-X is more for Live TV (or movies) you install it the same way as 1channel. When you want to find movies, tv shows and what not you go through the first option in the menu which is "Media portal". After that you can choose the Navi-X networks, or user hosted channels which are great.
I'd recommend getting an HD antenna if your building doesn't have one, that way you can get all the local channels if you want, and you can even run them through XBMC if you get a tuner card and turn your PC into a DVR.
I been watching Married with Children lately on 1channel, the have the whole series on there. Back when Megaupload was still up they had literally every last show you can think of on there and they were all supported in 720p or 1080p and streamed as fast as Netflix if you had a mega account. I hate what they did to my nikka KimXbmc + icefilms + megaupload....it was an unfukkwittable combo.

Its still not showing up on my HUD
I installed it in my system folder and I am not seeing the addon yet. what am I doing wrong
Did you install from zip? If so you have to customize it to show up on the menu bar, you're using the Confluence skin right?
Go to System - then appearance - then skin and you'll see this -
Click the settings button -
And then here -
Click on "Add-on shortcut" in the video submenu and it should be there in the menu. You can also customize the skins to pretty much anything, I use Aeon Nox or Alaska.
For anyone fukking with XBMC, there's a skin that is designed for use with touchscreens -

the shyt worked.... CABLE IS fukkING GONE. YOOOOOOOOOO HD TOO!!!!!! MY nikka 
Im on the navi-x right now this shyt is piff.... Yo do you know where they are streaming VH1?.. my girl is going nuts
I'll look for VH1, I'm sure it's on there, just never really watch that channel. If you want shows from VH1 though, 1channel has them all and whenever a new one airs the links are usually up about a 45mins after it ends. For more Navi channels, go into the media portal then "most viewed 24 hours" and you'll see pages worth of shyt.
Having NaviX and 1channel basically covers everything, the only thing I'm missing is a plugin that runs perfect Nba League pass through XBMC.

Im still not getting the channel 1 shortcut/skin after intallation. I can see a channel 1 option in NaviX.
If it's not showing up on the menu bar, go to Videos in the menu, then video add ons and if it's installed and enabled it will be there.
If it's not there it may not have been enabled. To do that you go to System > Add-ons > Disabled add-ons. If it's not there then try reinstalling it.

There are all sorts of add-ons and different skins, you can use your phone as a touchscreen remote, get email, check facebook shyt, twitter etc.
A lot of what Xbox Live and PSN have just straight up copied what was going on with XBMC back in the day.
