    if you have aready got a usb to serial convertor
    have you loaded the uhart driver from dream to get
    the usb to serial to work, i just plugged the cable in
    my computer and connected the null modem cable
    from it to the rs232 port on the dm800 and windows 7
    loaded a driver for me, also i got my usb/serial cable from
    maplins, but if your computer did'nt load the driver. go to
    this site and scroll down and you will see the uhart driver
    and see if this helps

    dream-multimedia-tv.de/en/downloads

    VCP driver (USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) driver)
    Windows Vista / 7> download
    ********************
    also if your near rainford there is a company that sells all
    cables at very good prices [ kenable.co.uk/ ]
    i usualy ring them and collect from them so no postage

              this link you posted is the usb to serial convertor you need
              eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
              and you need a null modem cable to connect with it
              and depending how far your computer is from the dreambox
              is how long the one you has to be, take a look at the kenable site
              i posted he has cables of all lengths look here ?3 for a 5mtr one

                            Really awkward it is to be honest paul, Really not sure what I am doing wrong, and not sure if I have the exactly correct equipment or what not, The box is also a Clone.
