Phew! I've added the bintray repos as well as some FAQs and tried to match the style of the original as best I could.

After a significant break from using our official repository, due to [[Adam|Adam Sutton]] no longer being actively involved, this has finally been restored. With some slight alterations. There will still be 3 suites, however the meanings have changed:
4 1 Adam Sutton
5 19 Adam Sutton
* http://apt.tvheadend.org/release - This will contain the latest official / stable release.
6
* http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable - This will contain a nightly build from the latest release branch. It will pick up fixes in prep. for the next release.
7
* http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable - This will contain a nightly build from the development branch (master). It will contain the bleeding edge, but could be potentially unstable.

Before you can use the repository you probably want to import the GPG signing key:
28 8 Dave Chapman
29 1 Adam Sutton
<pre>
30 6 Adam Sutton
curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
31 1 Adam Sutton
</pre>
32
33 21 Mark Clarkstone
You will then need to add which ever suite you feel is most appropriate, for example if you want to be cautious and have a reliable system:
34 5 Andy Brown
35
<pre>
36 19 Adam Sutton
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/release
37 1 Adam Sutton
sudo apt-get update
38 5 Andy Brown
</pre>
39
40 21 Mark Clarkstone
Note: if you install more than one suite you will only ever get packages from the one holding the most recent version number, so the order of priority would be:
41 5 Andy Brown
42
<pre>
43 1 Adam Sutton
unstable > stable > release
44
</pre>
45
46 21 Mark Clarkstone
You can easily remove a suite though, so should you suddenly come over all crazy and want to live on the edge:
47 1 Adam Sutton
48
<pre>
49
sudo apt-add-repository -r http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable
50
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable
51
sudo apt-get update

h2. Official Bintray Apt Repository
55
56
If you're still using the bintray repository do not panic it's +still+ supported and may be used along side the apt.tvheadend.org repository as a backup (or main) if you wish.
57
58
* https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu master main - This will contain *nightly* builds from the master branch. _This is equivalent to the "unstable":http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable suite on apt.tvheadend.org._
59
* https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu unstable main - This will contain *weekly* builds from the master branch. _This is equivalent to the "unstable":http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable suite on apt.tvheadend.org just delayed by a week._
60
* https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu testing main - This will contain *nightly* builds from the release/4.x branch. _This is equivalent to the "stable":http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable suite on apt.tvheadend.org._
61
* https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/ubuntu stable - This will contain the latest stable release. _This is equivalent to the "release":http://apt.tvheadend.org/release suite on apt.tvheadend.org._

h3. Help Me!

122
*Why two repositories?*
123
There was a change in the naming of Tvheadend packages which caused the automated build scripts (that placed the latest builds on apt.tvheadend.org) to break and only Adam Sutton knew how to fix it unfortunately he was unavailable, and thus thanks to dreamcat the bintray repository was born!
124
125
*So which repository do I use?*
126
Whichever you fancy is the simple answer. You can use the suites from both repositories at the same time.
127
128
*Stable, unstable/master, testing or release?*
129
* If you want the latest and greatest features and don't mind bugs or crashes choose the unstable (on apt.tvheadend.org) or master nightly/weekly (on bintray.com) suites. 
130
* If you want to test the latest changes (and don't mind a few bugs) that'll become the latest release choose stable (on apt.tvheadend.org) or testing (on bintray.com) suites. 
131
* If you just want the least amount of hassle (and bugs) choose the release suites.
132
133
*You keep talking about suites, what are they?*
