[QUOTE="happyf1sh, post: 473973, member: 55546"] Hello All, I have been looking into this some of the while. Please remember I am new to programming altogether. At the moment I have been investigating (and learning) at two solutions: 1) Using Mozilla plugin. This uses an active x (mozctl.dll) which the plugin then manipulates. However the original development install of this finished 2005 (Mozilla Active X). However the mozctl.dll itself continues with each Gecko build. BTW Gecko is the basic rendering engine used by Mozilla applications Firefox et al 2) The other solution uses xulrunner and geckofx.dll. XULrunner is supported and appears to be the preferred method for embedding web browsing, by the Mozilla team. XULrunner was released by Skybound as a control, for XULrunner, written in c#. If this all sound like gibberish - you may imagine how I feel.:eek: I guess it may be easier to use IE active x, as it is well supported etc, but I am a believer in free software, so it's the road least travelled I suppose. My original code was hacked together from about three different areas. In fact the base code was based on tunermce (used on mediaplayer). So, once I get this working a bit better (in Vista), I should (in theory) be able to pull in the other channels (ITV etc) as well. Laters. [/QUOTE]
