    Hi all,
    Real newbie here so please be patient. Only bought the box yesterday. The problem I have is that I can't download the firmware onto box or upload saved chanels etc. I've tried it on 2 laptops and neither one recognises the box (or Com settings???). Tried using 9 pin to 9 pin modem cable and even gone to M*plins for USB serial converter for transfer and neither one has worked. I've read tutorials (thanks) and followed to the letter but still no joy. I've set it up on the tv, done a scan, so I know the box is working. I've downloaded wrar30 & UFL EX1000SL and they seem ok. Not sure where to go from here. After reading the forums I'm sure this will be the first of many posts. Please keep any replies reeeally simple.
    Thanks

    Can you get to a PC/Laptop with a 9 pin serial socket with XP as the operating system.

    Sorry HiTeck
    This 2 minute job has took the best part of 2 days now.... Been reading too many posts/tutorials etc. Think I'll leave it alone and settle for an expensive freeview box. All far too tricky.
