hi vista when i put my post code in this is what it says You are not in an ntl area. (Offnet) and i am using the latest software

[ronster]

what does it say when you put it on a premium channel eg slysports 1....scrambled

did you clear all data and do a factory reset before you scanned?

[topladchoo]

hi sorry the software on it at the moment is the same as when it came out of the box all premium channels are scrambled . i have been trying to put the latests software on it but not having much joy with the usb to rs232 cable

[topladchoo]

do you think if i took it to work and used the rs232 to rs232 cable do you think the software would download ok?

[ronster]

you shouldnt have any problems on a desktop pc with a dedicated com port

is your cable a rs232 or a null modem cable,apparently theres a difference
have you got a link to the cable you've purchased

[topladchoo]

this is the usb one i bought
USB TO COM Port Serial RS232 DB9 Pin Cable Adapter UK on eBay, also, Adaptors, Cables Connectors, Computing (end time 17-Sep-08 22:35:30 BST)

this is the one i got with the arnet
DB9 Female DB9F 9 pin RS232 Serial Null Modem 2m Cable on eBay, also, Modem Cables, Cables Connectors, Computing (end time 16-Sep-08 20:35:36 BST)

the null modem cables ok and should work no prob but the usb-rs232 dosnt say its vista compatable,does it say theres any problems in device manager

[bobby123]

did you get a software cd with the adapter

[topladchoo]

no cd ! installs ok works ok but i have to plug the cables together to get them to connected as when i bought the usb one i did not notice it was a male connector so i have to pug the usb port in and conect to the null modem cable then into the arnet

[ronster]

thats what you have to do with usb to null modem thats what they are all like,only other thing i can suggest is try assigning it to i different com port

if still no luck take it to work and try it on a dedicated rs232 port and it will work first timeeven most new desktops dont come with a rs232 port no more.
i hate these converter cables i scrapped mine and bought a pci card for my desktop and never had no problems
