If your using Vista I wouldn't bother trying to get the USB adaptor working, if using XP read through this and make sure you have your USB adaptor driver installed if not you can also download it from this website.


USB to Serial Adapter driver downloads and documentation

sorry to post this question in ur thread as i dont want to spam the site with the same questionas u.

ive had the same problem now i downloaded the drives on to my xp and when i conect the box i sellect download on the red screen.
it says waiting for box to comunicate or something and notthing seems to happen can somebody shread some light pleae

seems like usb adapters are having problems comunicating with the ex5000 i did it drictley from a friends pc via a null cable and it was fine

so seems like some usb adapters wont work

try making sure your cable is set on com1....i had the same problem ages ago, soon sorted when i got it on com 1

[marty3]

no good for me i've tried all 4 of the com ports and all do the same thing.. It knows its connected to the correct port cus the pc can talk to box, but it seems box cant talk to pc

[BL30]

with it all connected, have you tried switching th box on and off with the siwitch on the back of the box, it should start to download when you switch it back on

just installed new firmware on my new ex5000 pvr this evening,all channels working (fuc###g arsenal),hooking box to pc was the easiest part,think youve got a driver prob,in device manager click on ports,shud say serial connected to port #.

[marty3]

yes it says it in device manager. Thats the only way you can change ports..

Mickeychops. Please upload the exact driver you used for yours please.. Mine could be an older or newer version which maybe causing conflictions

.. Thanx in advance..

[marty3]

Mickeychops?? could you please upload the driver please. so we can install it too

[marty3]

or at least tell us the name and version number of usb to serial driver you used so others and myself could have the same success you had with it?

thanx

[mickeychops]

this is it (just use the setup.exe) install this first then plug in adapter....
