  1. Hi Even the newbies section seems advanced to me and so I hope you will bear with me. I think I'm hoping to be pointed to either a setup wizard and / or video tutorial for the latest version. And maybe to an overview of terminology used - there seems to be serious jargon overload. Maybe there will be a place for a Sticky / pinned details in the Forum A little background Very briefly and never on a subscription we had a sky box receiving but not recording channels (box is still somewhere) and at the time we had a dish professionally installed with two cables coming in (which I believe means I can view or record two channels at once) I have now set up a PC running Windows 7 with a BGT 3620 quad tuner (I don't think its on the approved list for DVBViewer but it seems to be working). For many months I have used Windows Media Centre (WMC) and have to say I like its interface and it recorded well and with the benefit of Series Record was/is great. The Problem I have with WMC is that it doesn't seem to pick up many channels successfully - a lot of them are there but never able to pick EPG or even picture therefore making viewing and recording difficult maybe impossible. I paid for DVBViewer as I was able to view and now record many more channels - Big Plus for DVBV ! Broadly I want to be able to - view and hear and record the all the Freesat channels There are a few others I'd like to bring in and the satellite choices seems to be Astra 19.2E. Hotbird 13.0E and Astra Eurobird 28.2E, and there are plenty that I and many others will never want to watch. - To know that epgs and channels update automatically - or at least I'm notified or reminded to run a new scan - To ideally get the display controls to be rather more like WMC across the various everyday screens - particularly in terms of size of text in things like timeline view - can it all be done from 10 foot away ? (I have seen XBMC and that seems to be similar to one of the views in DVBV - but I haven't yet worked out how to get to that view regularly - to know which channels and maybe even satellites I can confidently get rid of or hide in things like the channel list/editor and to have all the ones I want appear in all the various views (for instance I can't seem to get Movies 4 Men to appear in some of the views despite it having ticks in all the epg choices in the channel editor). - understand what's possible and what's not rather better. By the way the fact that I'm able to view and record any channels at all points to a lot of good work having been done in the automated setup process. Your help with getting a clear overview and handle on unavoidable jargon so I can make things similar to WMC in look and feel would be much appreciated (at some point I need to address the issue of it "just working" when I introduce it to the rest of the family - my wife especially, she is not a geek and wants simplicity of form and function) Lastly, I want to get a remote and perhaps a keyboard (this is on a PC after all) - are there any that people are using and recommend for a set up like mine. If it makes any difference the other piece of the jigsaw is a Samsung smart tv 2 years old which has dlna and links via ethernet and powerline to a very very basic home network. I can sort of control the WMC from my android with Unified Remote but the free version at least seems to work only when I reinstall it for each session the paid one may be better and may have better PC control functions. I apologise for the length of this and look forward to any responses
