Replay Lite

This is what a serial port looks like:


What you have is a monitor out port:


You will need to buy the two cables-
USB to Serial 9-Pin Male Adaptor

Serial Null Modem 9-Pin Female to 9-Pin Female

I got the two in blanch for just under Eur50.

 

Hi again, the codes are spot on, I've just tried them and they worked. Many thanks and please keep the codes comin. Sorry again but the whole software thing means nothin to me. jono

 

That's, exactly it, except, mine has holes instead of pins. Thanks for the reply, might go in tomorrow and pick them up in town!

 

Just connected my replay lite box to my laptop with my null modem cable, clicked on the stblink 5.20 and got a msg "Warning, if you want to maintain user data then make connection 1st, continue Yes/No"
Clicked yes another box popped up "Warning: You lost your saving data" Clicked ok then i got "The system cannot find the file specified" Then got " Comm port open error". Can anyone tell me what i'm doin wrong???

 

Close the stblink and open it again or just try and click on reconnect com and click the correct port. A bit of messing around and you will get it back.

 

Cheers, I'll try that..

 

still no joy...

 

hi there. today i did an autoscan thinking i would get any new channels that have come on stream in last few months. when it finished i was left with most channels scrambled like when the codes changed. how can i fix this? any help greatly appreciated

 

I dunno man, if you got it once you should be able to get it again.

Maybe plug everything out and try again?

 

Have you upgraded your firmware? If so you should download one of the lads favourites files and you will have all the channels organised correctly and all you will have to do is rename the favourites. You will need the cables etc. to do that tho.

 

I presume you are using a usb to 9 pin adapter? anyway you'll need to set the com port from your usb to com 1 or 2, to do this:

Do the following.

START
Right Click "MY COMPUTER"
Choose "MANAGE"
In the resulting window, click on "DEVICE MANAGER"
In the right hand pane, click on the little plus sign beside "PORTS" in the right hand pane.
Right click on the USB Adapter (Should be something like "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM#)
Choose "Properties"
Click on "PORT SETTINGS" TAB
Click on "ADVANCED"
Then you will see the COM Port Number Box. You should be able to change it there using the drop down box.
Try to set it to COM2
Restart Windows

Set STBLink to COM2 & try to connect.

Are you leaving it set on a premium channel? It's the only way it will catch the codes.

 

Hi 08jay08

I work in the area and may be able to help you - I've sent you a PM.

 

Didn't know i needed a USB to 9 pin cable, just used a null modem cable that i used before. It worked the last time so i presumed it would work again. Thanks for your help.

If your laptop has a com port then you will not need a usb - 9pin.

Otherwise you will. You can pick one up in maplins @ Eur 35.

 

It has a comm port. But i still can't figure out what i'm doin wrong. I've followed every instruction to the letter...

 

Have you tried changing from com1 to com2 using the stb?

 

Yeah, Tried that, still gettin the same result..

 

I've connected up the the box with, my laptop, I'm using a USB Serial Converter with a 9 pin female to female Null Modem cable but when I go into the Stb it just says connection failed. Tried changing the comm but still no luck, any ideas?

 

Novice99 told me before to turn my autoscan to off before connecting Replay lite to computer, maybe that's the problem.

So you go in to key manager, turn auto scan off, download software and turn autoscan back on.
