[QUOTE="JimmyBoy, post: 840156, member: 72806"] I just find it all a little confusing as its something that I know nothing about. A couple years ago, I gave Windows Media Centre a try, and I seem to remember that it asked me for my postcode and that was it! it sorted everything else out for me. (As to how good a job it done im not sure - but I had my tv channels available which is what mattered to me most).
