I wish DW, as that would hopefully be the answer to my troubles. But unfortunately, I'm in Swindon. :-( I'll probably kick myself once I see it done, but it's just getting past this hurdle. I'll take a good look at the how I have it set up in the morning again, but I need to hit the sack now tonight. I'll keep you posted how I get on. Thanks to both of you for the advice.

Yes, it was Maplins I think. Maybe I need to get another then. But I didn't get any cables with my box.

2 identical cables look the same,null modem has a cross over wire for flashing boxes,the other is straight wired and does not work.

If he's used a PC with XP and he got different responses from comm ports 1 & 2 its odds on its the cable.

One comm port dead (wrong one)

Other comm port "Not requested" (talking but through distorted mouth) wrong cable).

Does this make sense Caty?

any mates got boxes as they might have a cable

Followed instructions and everything worked fine.

Just recieved my cable, and what do you know! It worked a treat. A massive thanks guys. I just feel a plonker for not realising myself! :-( Anyway, The Silverfox Fox is a happy chappy now, so once again thanks. :-)

this tut makes it so simple I tried everything. Finally sorted.
Make sure you dont power down the unit before scanning for channels. Thats where I was going wrong. once youve scanned and updated its done

Hi guys,

I have read this thread from top to bottom but still can't get the "Kryptview A780-03012011 firmware" to d/load to my box.

Ihave the box connected to a 9yr old XP desktop PC using a null modem cable that came with my box. I get the dreaded message "Can't open serial portcom" on all coms apart from com3. When I try com3 I get the message "The downloading is not
requested" I am using the correct com settings.
I am sure I have tried all the fixes in the thread, but to no avail. I am nearly at the end of my tether and thinking of sending the box back.

Does anyone have any other ideas apart from what has been said on this thread ? Could it be a dodgy box or cable ?

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks for reading

Valerie

Have you turned the box off before pressing download then switch box on after a few seconds ???
