Help needed with TV sorting - newbie

Always used alt.binz and media scout in the past so please forgive me.
I#ve managed to get a couple of RSS feeds to work (just tried with south park) which is fine.
I have then enabled TV sorting by selecting TV in the drop down list.  I havent changed anything else.  Nothing happened.  I redownloaded another series but still nothing.  Are there other settings I need to change or enable?  Sorry if this is a daft question but we all have to learn from the start!
Thanks in advance!

There are two separate things.
First there is the category TV, which you can give settings like folder, priority etc. Config->Categories
Sorting can be enabled per category in Config->Sorting.
Sorting has three flavors: TV series, Movies and Generic.
Each flavor can be configured and subsequently associated with one or more categories.

Its still all a little foreign to me - is there a step by step guide anywhere in the documentation? :-[

Categories are described here: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-categories
Sorting here: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-sorting
Be warned that sorting is (too) complicated.

Sort of got it now - I was downloading through MEDIANzb and it wasn#t working, but when using newzbin it works fine.  Just another question, MEDIANzb automatically watches for new episodes, how can I do that in Newzbin?

newzbin is limited in this area.
What's wrong with medianzb.com ?

Got that working now too.  Worked out how to do bookmarks in Newzbin, but bookmarks are not working for me in MZBMatrix (I am a VIP by the way).  I add a show to bookmarks, then click get bookmarks and nothing happens.  It works fine with Newzbin.  I have put my API key from NZBMatrix into the config page for index sites too.
