    Does your null modem cable have a USB connection at one end as I have seen people have problems with those modems.

        yes, as a matter of fact our null modem cable does have USB at one end. This could be the problem? What should we use instead?

          a further piece of info.... when I ping again in dreamup immediately after receiving the verification that the box is 'speaking to us', the ping fails:

          9:10:03 PM box type: DM500
          9:10:11 PM Ping result: OK, box is alive and speaking to us ;-)
          9:10:20 PM Ping result: NOT OK!!!

            Sorry for my English.
            I do not know what you have a problem. Take advantage of this program DreamUp. Remember the earlier options - delete the first flash. Before you run the program, start erasing including tuner and an arrow to the top.
            How do I show to boot, then release the arrow.

              try a different null cable, male/female connection rather than usb.

                I had the same problem.

                I had to send mine back to the supplier for a new motherboard

                  This could be the problem. I had trouble flashing using a cable with a usb connection. You need this type DB9 Female DB9F 9 Pin RS232 Serial Null Modem 2m Cable buy online from Qfonic Technology (UK)

                  THE TRUTH
                  The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

                  Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                  The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                        Have you tried a different version of dream up there is one on the forum with a patch in it which worked for me when my black box wouldn't flash.
