Hi, Ive recently received THE BOX, and am trying to download onto it. It came with a RS232 cable. My laptop doesn't have a serial port, so I got a USB to Serial adaptor cable. However, when I try to run the V4.03 to download the .bin files it wont connect. I've tried COM1 to COM4. Is there some way of asigning a USB Port to COM1 ? sound
To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions: 1. Go to the Start Menu 2. Right click on "My Computer" 3. Select "Properties" 4. Click on the "Hardware" tab 5. Click on "Device Manager" 6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)" 7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.) 8. Go back to gtromloader and make sure it is looking at the correct port. 9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected If you need drivers go here http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm
In device manager, there is no "Port" listed, However when I plug the USB out + In it comes up as "Motorola Comp Modem"
I have to leave soon can you post a link of the usb adapter you are using to see if its the correct one, if I am not around someone else will then be able to help you.
bought it in a (real) shop no manufacturers name on it USB to Serial Port connector USB A Type MAle /DB9 Male
oh yeah as said earlier when the install wizard runs i comes up as Motorola Comp Modem (ha ha I wasnt allow post this within 3 minutes of previous post cos I'm a newbie and potential Spambot!)
Hello Again. couldn't get cable to work so brought the box into office + downloaded the 4 files there. Came home, typed in the 1570 + changed EMU setting, but just getting black screen for 33 channels. Channel name + no.s coming up, so something must have downloaded OK. Also tried running an Auto Scan but still black screen Any ideas? (btw i'm with Chorus...are files the same as for NTL?) soundasabell
have you the symbol rate set to 6.875 not sure but you might have to manually input the following frequencies 282,290, , 298,306,314,322,371,378,394,410,427,444. exit once press ok on all the frequencies
tried a few more things (thanks for help), now getting quite a few channels, including Sky Sp0rts + Liverp0ol TV etc. Only channels from 141 up working. Lower ones incl movies not up.... any ideas ?
Gents, All systems are go. I did an autoscan with Chorus Cork instead of just Chorus and 142 channels popped up Hooray thanks to everyone sound as a bell
