Thanks so much - perhaps this should be stickied

I love it when people explain things assuming a lay-person's level of understanding - If there were more such guides for different aspects of XBMC these forums would be a lot less cluttered with the questions of confused people.

Despite how helpful everyone is here, the level of PC knowledge is so high that it can often be quite hard to find what turns out to be a relatively simple answer So...thanks!

Agreed. I haven't stickied this, but I did make it the first link on the Remote tutorial thread. With any luck, in the next six months all of this will become a thing of the past.
