    not sure what you mean by doesnt move. if you are saying it is not downloading try this.

    1. connect everything up;
    2. turn box off at the wall;
    3. press download;
    4. now quickly turn box on (may take a few attempts but it will work).

        Have you used the null modem cable before to flash this or any other boxes ?

                That seems like the logical answer bugaloo, they look exactly the same as each other.

                      Is this the sort of thing you mean ? This the adapter which allows you to connect a null modem cable to one end, and a laptop or pc USB port on the other.
                      Then the other end of the null modem connects to the reciever.

                            I have found that USB to Serial cables don't work very well with the dowload software. I use my laptop with a PCMCIA (cardbus) serial port or my desktop PC with it's built in RS232 port.

                              I,m no expert but it looks like 1 of 2 things, either
                              1 - you have to install the drivers for the adapter, or
                              2 - its a straight thru cable and not a null modem (crossover) cable.
                              Sorry if I,m proven wrong, maybe someone with more knowledge of the subject can advise you.
                              Good luck.
