Knitting Board

So I have recently purchased my self a 'knitting board' now don't get me wrong i'm sure that there wonderful things and the things that you can make using them look fantastic but I am having soooo many problems when trying to use it. I have watched the DVD that came with it and been onto YouTube to try and see where i'm going wrong but that didn't help so if anyone reading this knows what there doing when it comes to knitting board's please help.
