    Starview HD Combo LAN to Spiderbox

    Hi guys.

    Ive read that some people have connected their pc via USB to rs-232 on Starview box and have been successful in installing this firmware. I have followed the instruction correctly however I did connect via com4 because my cable is connected to com4 on my laptop. Everything goes well until up the point where I turn on the Starview box...nothing happens. The flash tool does not take over the Starview box and does not do anything. The bar on the program jut stays at 0%. Can someone please give me some advice. Thank you

    p.s. sorry for reposting this because i have posted this on a stickie and im not sure if it was the right place to post.

    use a desktop pc with a standard built in com port and running xp, do not use a usb to serial adapter

    that desktop method definitely works and is how I have done a couple of them

      My pc or laptop dosent have a serial port so it was the only option. A few people have said that the USB to serial port has worked for them. I guess I'll have I find someone with an old pc.
