What's the significance of the null modem cable? I bought a standard RS232 serial cable but it doesn't connect to the starview box. Have i got the wrong cable?

Im guessing its the same as the eurovox the power has to be on on the box when flashing???

I guess you managed to download the fix,but as i was having the same problem as you,and just in case,mine downloaded when i switched from serial port COM- 1 to COM-2

If it's a RS232 female to female cable it's the correct one.

Its a standard serial cable with a male at one end and a female at the other. I had to buy a gender bender to convert the male end to female.

Sounds like you need to change the ports. Mine on pc and laptop only worked on Port 2.
I had these problems be4.

Good luck

I tried all the ports the GTR software would let me try.
