After installing the RC a few weeks back on my families primary PC, which is our primary method of watching TV and other digital content via and extender (DMA2100), I have visited this site just about every day as I get my W7 MC up and running. Thanks for all the posts and helpful tutorials! My only comment so far would be to make some of the tutorials a little more detailed. I'm not a complete newby to installing add-ons and hacking MC, but sometimes I feel like the instructions gloss over details making it difficult to follow for newer users. The best example is the instructions to get DRVMSToolbox to automatically convert to .dvr-ms and analyze with comskip. I've yet to get that working, and now comskip won't even skip through the existing .dvr-ms files like it use to. Anyway, just saying its helpful for the experienced users to try to take a step back and lay out the process so that it is easier for those of us who are newer or and simply don't get to mess around with hacking 7mc as much as the experienced users.
