    no you shouldnt need a booster you need to update the box first then you will see if it needs any adjustments

      So from what ive gathered would this work with kyptview
      Play.com (UK) : DB9 Female DB9F 9 Pin RS232 Serial Null Modem 2m Cable : Computing - Free Delivery

      I thought it needed usb

              Does your laptop have a Serial Port, it kinda looks like an old-skool joystick port, (it's unlikely that your laptop has one, not many do these days).

              If it does have a Serial Port then you need a 'Null-Modem cable'.

              If you do not have a serial port then you will need a USB to Serial Adapter and a 'Null-Modem Cable'

              All of these can be bought at Maplins, but you'll find them on eBay much cheaper.
