I know I'm probably being thick... but I promise I tried to figure it by reading more or less all the posts on this site but with no success..... They just got me more confused... sorry.

Could someone be so nice to explain how achieve the following objective:

Keep my Web Channels on the MS updated regularly.....

I've managed to get to the following point:

Choose the Channels I wanted to convert (and converted them) with IsiloX from the amazing (really but really) list provided by Alexander. To do this I used the 1st method explained on Turcic.com (i.e. after having converted them I copied them to MS with MS Import).

However.... what I would like to do is have this process automated. I read that a lot people refered to IsiloXc to do this. Do i really need this, or can I achieve my purpose with only IsiloX? Also I noticed that I don't have an Isilo conduit in my Hotsync Custom Menu and therefore don't understand how these channels would update themselves on the clie (MS)... (obviously before I have to understand how to get IsiloX to update the files on the desktop regularly....)

Basically... someone be so kind to explain this process from start to finish... I know I'm probably being a pain... but i really did try to figure it out without success....

In any case... Alexander... your Web Channel collection made me fall even more in love with my Clič (that's sounds sad!).... kidding aside.. really amazing work.... thanks

The problem is that iSiloX doesn't include a scheduler (yet). So you must use an external scheduler, like the one that is included with MS Windows. In order to run the scheduler in conjunction with iSilo, you must use the console version of iSilo = iSiloXC.

You don't need to see the iSilo conduit in the Hotsync Custom Menu. What iSilo does, on your request, is copy the channels automatically to the right directories (for example C:\Program Files\Sony Handheld\<yourhotsyncname>\CardInst and C:\Program Files\Sony Handheld\<yourhotsyncname>\Install). When the standard Palm hotsync sees that these directories are not empty, it will automatically install the files in it to your Palm.

I am not autoscheduling iSiloX myself, but some people here do and I am sure someone else will give you a more practical instruction.
