Hi - I get an error 404 on the add-repo - and there doesn't seem to be a saucy source in the repo yet...

This tutorial is incorrect. Currently there is no PPA available for Saucy from team-xbmc. Attempting to add the PPA will result in a 404 during the apt-get update sequence which provides no benefit and can actually serve to slow down the update process. XBMC still installs because an xbmc package is included in the Ubuntu universe repository. team-xbmc simply releases more up-to-date versions for ubuntu than the universe repository does. You can see in the video that during the install process the packages are actually downloading from the Ubuntu archive (which hosts the universe repository), not launchpad.net (which hosts PPA repositories). Bottom line is if you want newer versions of xbmc on Saucy you should install them manually (atleast until a PPA is released by team-xbmc) or stick to the universe version.
