    from what i have read and seen they dont seem to do spares for these boxes as crazy as that sounds alot of dealers want u to part with more cash and buy a new box just for the one piece of equipment that u need ill keep my ear to the ground for u as i know a few people that need one of these adaptors
    I saw a billboard on the way to work this morning that read "Future Events."

    Well, that's a sign of things to come.

          does it not need a female socket to fit the back of the sv box?? i think the link i have put up has a female connection but to many pins

                  not just a cable,other bits involved maybe like circuitry as you may end up with skipping ropes

                        rs232 adaptors

                        bought 4 lan adaptors for the starview of the internet ,not 1of them worked ,theres something inside the genuine starview lans that these others dont have .unless you get a genuine starview lan adaptor i think you will be wasting your time like i did .even bought 1 that i could wire my self ,with the help of a wireing diagram off internet (yost) .ive tryed to find who supplys original sview lans but no chance

                          There are a couple of capacitors in the original adapter, the straight ones don't work. There is also an Envision branded Satellite box that uses the same adapter, but I've not been able to track down spares for that either.
