cool maplins it is then.

I use one on Dbox2 and dreambox no problem you just need to make sure that its on a com port less than 10 ive found! I just change it in device manager and it works fine

Yep.

I got one from Maplins (though it's purple!!!!!!).

Works a-ok on both my Kryptview and Technomate.

Recomend.

thanks for all the replies

I brought one from Maplin, works a treat... good thing is, that if you lose the software like i did you can download it from the maplin site.
Money well spent in my opinion.
