E: Type '.deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list

The last time I installed xbmc was with nitotv, and that worked fine.

Can anyone help me out?
 
Yeah your right, seas0npass doesnt install nitotv, greenpios0n did.

Well I tried the above but I get the same error message after I type in the first line

apt-get install wget

E: Type '.deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list
