Wist is a pretty simple service, and I use it unlike anyone else would. I wouldn't begin to tell people how to do what I do, because it took me way too much time to do, and it's also HIGHLY specific to me. So instead, I'll provide as much detail as possible to show how to get it working for the most of you out there.
It's pretty simple to get started, there's a basic TV service, and some kind of a "Karaoke" service for more money. I suggest avoiding that if you don't know what you're doing.
And if you DO know what you're doing, why are you reading this?
So, first, head on over to
www.wist.tv/wistweb/checkout.aspx?agent=WISA page like this should look a little familiar. Filling it out is pretty simple.

If you get an error, for the love of god don't try a second time. Fill out the form at wist.tv/inq.html in order to get in touch with them.Note: Signup is NOT immediate! Don't do this on New Years Eve and expect to get in, do it within the next week or so.
Once activated, login at
www.wist.tv/wistweb/myaccount/Login.aspx.
From here, you can do one of two things:
(1) You can use a media player you already have, or
(2) Download Mixstreamer.
Best I can tell Mixstreamer is like a digital VCR. It hooks in and allows you to pick what you want to watch, but you can also schedule times/channels to record, as long as you leave your computer on and the application running.
After logging into the wist.tv web page, you'll see a very bare page with some personal details, order details, a download link, and navigation across the top like this:
From left to right those links are:
- Playlists for watching TV.
(Opens in a new Window.)
- Order Status
(In other words, refresh the main login page. Effective, no?)
- Change Password
- Cancel Your Account
(I think, needless to say I've never clicked the fourth link.)
Let's start with, well, the only important link, watching TV via playlists. (#1 of the above, using a media player you already have). Pretty quick, pretty simple.
Login, click the channel playlists link and you'll see a window like this:
Click the channel you want, and one of a couple things will happen, depending on how your computer is configured.
Either:
(1) Your browser will begin playing the media.
(2) You will be offered an asx file to download.
(3) Your default media will open and play the media itself.
And uhh. At this point you're done!
Let's move onto mixstreamer. When logging into the wist web page, there's a big blurb about using mixstreamer in Japanese. I've done this
once so my instructions may be imperfect, I'm going heavily off memory because I don't use Windows.
Any corrections would be much appreciated.
So, log into wist.tv, download mixstreamer. Install it and launch it.
I believe it only asks you for your wist login and password at first, log in.
Somewhere, whether at login or in mixstreamer's preferences, you're asked for a url of some form. You can get that from the wist.tv web page after logging in. It'll look something like:
Once you put that in, Mixstreamer should show a channel list, which you can use to just start watching.
I remember seeing a very basic menu for start time, end time, and channel, which you use to configure recording. However, you're on your own. Figure it out and share the wealth of information!
Any questions?
