This page is a work in progress - Bare with me, it'll improve over the next few days!
Hardware used
Shuttle XS35GTv2 - This guide should suit for any atom / ION2 based PC, though the HDMI audio may differ. VGA monitor (for initial setup - It'll be easier due to some GUI issues like font size) HDMI capable TV / receiver (receiver is optional, necessary for passthrough options and nothing else) Keyboard and Mouse (USB or bluetooth, bluetooth recommended if you dont have an xbmc remote device (android, etc) or an IR receiver and compatible remote)
Software used
Fedora 15 DVD x64 - Download from [1]

You will see 4 channels under HDMI, press M to unmute them all 2. inside XBMC, set the audio device and passthrough device to custom, and enter plughw:1,7
Option 2 - With OS / Menu sounds, but no passthrough bitstreaming

Coming soon - This should need to be done in xorg.conf.
Using an external IR receiver
Coming soon - Still waiting for my HP IR receiver from Ebay!
