I've spent weeks alone in the middle of the ocean with only a SSB shortwave radio to connect me with the rest of the world, so I understand the fascination of being able to speak to somebody on another continent because of some freak ionospheric configuration, and the urge to explore what you can do with that box in front of you, your (only) link to the rest of the world. Sure, but SSTV is (AFAIK, IMHO, YMMV) more a byproduct of ham radio, rather than a full-fledged independent activity, isn't it? > we are potentially including many more people in the activity Now I just need to wait for the right time for the ISS to fly over.

Crude, but it worked first time with the test transmission. Just download one app, and put your phone near the speaker of your computer, or another phone, while accessing the Goonhilly WebSDR site. The Android video is half the length of the others, and was by far the simplest to get working. Ubuntu looked straight forward enough, but I haven't yet tried it. I gave up with MacOS when I needed to download a kernel extension to mess around with the audio settings. The Ubuntu guy did actually explain some of the settings he changed, like increasing the filter to 15Khz to take account of the Doppler effect as the ISS goes overhead. It's just enough information to get the apps installed, and get you viewing a test picture.

I don't think that the idea is to teach you how to use all the software to its full capability. I haven't seen the Win7 tutorial but I did look at the Android, Ubuntu and MacOS ones.
