[QUOTE="Linkorz, post: 569225, member: 101632"] ...or idiots set up So I am looking at setting up a media portal PC for some older relatives and I need to make it as user friendly as possible. No I reckon they can handle to interface, and obviously I can configure most of the settings before hand. The main issue I see is scanning channels, and setting up the EPG. The reason being is that a/. I may not be there when its deployed and b/. I don't want to have to remote access in every time they break it. If I can get this working, I will create an image disc to go with it :) So what I want to do is create some kind of batch file, or autohotkey script, that will sit on the desktop and when they click it, it will clear out existing channels, do an "all UK" scan, automatically clear any conflicts in the channel list, and then populate the EPG using "over the air" information. Now, if there is a command line interface for the config tool, then it should be fairly straight forward, but I can't find any command line options. Failing that, anyone think of any other methods this could be automated with? [/QUOTE]
