I'm totally new at this and confused

[jayess99]

I can't find anything that tells me how this thing works, what I need to do to get it working etc. All the beginner's stuff. I've read thru your forums, have no idea what you're talking about and I can't find any basic/intro pages to get me started. You guys are talking a language that I don't understand. I want to do this, but I've got to start at the beginning. I'm sure that someone is going to say, well, why didn't you post this here or there, or why didn't you read this or that. Save your breath. I want to do it right, I just need a hand getting started. Thanks for your help. js

Hello jayess99. Of course we do have a Wiki that you should consult. The top "Sticky" thread "NPVR 2.6.2 - Current Patches and Getting Started info" also contains a lot of useful information. (However none of the 2.6.2 patches are critical for most American users; I haven't installed any of them myself.) Have you already installed NextPVR? If you open the application, right-click and select "Settings," you'll find a short to-do list.

It might be helpful to let us know what version of Windows you're running. Also whether you plan to receive TV signals from cable, satellite or over-the-air, and what model of tuner you will be using. You might plan to stream TV to "client" computers over a network, perhaps using XBMC as "front end"; but you should first concentrate on getting NextPVR working on one "server" computer. By all means post again!

it has a quick start guide and as Zeb said, read the sticky post at the top of the support forum. Hopefully this will help you get started.
