Replay Lite

most new'ish lappys don't have serial ports which is why you can't use the null modem cable, you need to buy a USB to 9pin D serial cable, you should get a cd with it also,...you then have to assign it a port in your windows control panel,device manager,hardware, com ports settings.

 

Cheers for the response, but i cant see "ports" in the right hand pane, there are many options there but "Ports" aint mentioned in any of them???

Also, its a female 15 pin connection i have on the back of my laptop.

 

The reason you don't see ports there now is because your Laptop does not have any serial ports onboard.

You will see "Ports" once you install the Adapter.

The 15 Pin female connector you referr to is for an external monitor it is NOT a Serial Port.

 

Does it matter which usb port i use to connect the box??

I have a 9 pin serial cable / usb and the null modem cable, i have installed the drivers, connected the box to laptop using both cables but am unable to establish a connection.

Thanx.....

 

Just to clarify this for you Mojo08.

You can not clone once Firmware 910 is installed.

This very handy feature is disabled in this Beta version as the key roll capture was given priority. It is hoped to re-enable this feature in future firmware releases.

 

No it does not matter. The USB 2.0 adapter is backward compatible with USB Rev: 1.1

Once you have both the Laptop & STBlink COM Ports set to the same number (COM1 or COM2) & your cable is definitely a NULL Modem Serial cable then it will connect.

 

Have tried using both Comm 1 and Comm 2 but to no avail, its defo a null modem cable, its the cable i used for cloning from box to box before now.

Any other ideas??

 

What software is currently on the box?

 

Its STBlink 5.2 that i am using, is that correct??

 

Hi
just a quick question, i flashed my box last night, everything working great but was just wondering does anyone know hoe to get the channels alphabetically and numbered after each other ie;all channels beginning with A,B etc to come after each other on the menu but also numbered after each other. p.s anyone notice too that with the 752 version we had 2 ppv channels one which was sky box office but now only have one, which is constantly scrambled,

 

Yes that is correct but what "Firmwae" version is currently installed on the Replay?

 

Version 7.52

 

Menu
Channel Manager
TV Channels
You can use the "Yellow" button to sort them. You will see it on the matrix bottom of the screen

 

gman thank you so much, i am dumb i've being tryin for an hour i'm on this site couple mins and its sorted in 2 seconds, if i ever meet you i will defo buy you a beer or 2,

 

No worries, we all had to be shown at some stage ;-)

That's what we are all here for......

 

Power down the box & disconnect from the PC
Close STBlink.

RE- connect the box & power up
Open STBlink
DO NOT do the COM Setup
Start the 910 update & see if it forces the connection.

 

Still no joy, it just said "the system cannot find the file specified" and then "COM Port open error".

 

hi guys i know this is a bit off subject i have been googleing and trying it out and have no joy so i thought i'd ask the experts i am trying to connect my replay lite to a vcr to record the match tonight as i have to work :-(
Is this possible and how would you recommend i do it the vcr has only one scart socket can't find manual to find out if it is bi decrectional also does the replay route the channel it is on through the rf output

 

Try now to set-up the COM.

If that fails you should try donloading firmware 742a & flash the box with that first & then flash it again with 910.
