    I am trying to load the new bin on a Viewsat Platinum Lite and purchased a RS-232C cable from radio shack. Is this a null modem cable and will it work? if not, where can I find one that will work with the viewsat. Thanks

    A 232 cable is a straight thru cable. A null cable crosses wires between ends. I don't know which cable you need. PM me and I can give you some places that you might get the null cable if that is what you need. You can get all the information about how to use it also,

    Thanks, I believe I found a place to buy it on the internet, but I am going to try to go by best buy or circuit city and see if they have one by chance.
