you need a rs232-to-usb adapter m8.. they are available off E*** for a few quid. you will then need E1 dream up to flash your box, DCC to telnet/ftp into it and DBedit to upload channel lists ect. you will probably need a more up-to-date image also, you can find a few in the downloads section and tutorials on how to use the different programmes in the stickies at the top of the dreambox section. regards mdt

flashwizard pro is fine but its better imho to have a null-modem cable with adapter for when something goes wrong as it probably will,regards mdt
