[QUOTE="RunningBlind, post: 735539, member: 112425"] I'm simply trying to share my experience with MP and Colossus. Software is no good without user friendliness, you're relying on the wiki which, again, is outdated and obviously missing a lot of information; forums are another beast, there are always people like myself who don't use them but when needed and furthermore I've found just as many threads that were related to my situation that have gone unanswered. The problem with the wiki is most sections only give instructions for one device type, it's just not clear on how to set everything up with a capture device like the Colossus for example, new users are left searching the forums for information that might or might not be there. I understand where you're coming from and I would love to share what I've done so far however that'd be fairly useless without the knowledge of how to use the internal blaster, not everyone has an alternate way of controlling a STB like USB-UIRT for example. You really aren't putting yourself in the shoes of a new user, it's understandable given your knowledge but with the beta coming soon there are just going to be more new users asking the same questions. I realize documentation takes time but the Colossus isn't the only capture device, even rudimentary installation instructions by device type would help tremendously. [/QUOTE]
