hi all. i am trying to connect my ddigital box to laptop. bought a rs232 to usb cable but cant find any drivers so it wont recognise box. i need to install software on box again as it has been re-set to factory settings. i havnt a clue and any help would be grateful. many thanks

Do you know which firmware is on the box already? Think its Menu -> System settings -> System information

Coz it might just need scanning.

thats because you have got the wrong comport set on the loader but if you only did factory reset as you said earlier you wont need to reload the firmware it will just need scanning to get the channels back

dont want to sound stupid but whats the difference between scanning and loading firmware. i lost nagravision when i reset but that has come back after going into menu 2580 and setting emu enabled. thanks for your time and advice.

in easy terms the firmware will allow the box to unlock the channels. putting on the firmware is what you are trying to put on the box with the rs232 cable, scanning is what you have to do to get the channels to the box from the cable coming through the wall, a factory reset will not remove the firmware but will delete the scanned proggrammes

thanks for advice. its up and running although when i store channels ie. childrens / movies etc it goes down again. i re input keys via nagravision then comes back on. once again thanks.
