I am also having problems updating my firmware I get a message saying serial error. I have connected a null modem cable from my serial port to the rs232 port on the back of the box, how can I tell if the box is receiving the signal from my pc? I have also tried dhcp to on and saved it the box then says receiving ip address but nothing happens. I would appreciate any help and advice please.
Many thanks.

You have connected it by ETHERNET to your router haven't you - you don't get an internet connection over the null-modem connection.

Many thanks for that was given some duff gen connected ethernet and updated firmware, then spent 2 hours scanning and saved all programs only thing is most of the channels say they are scrambled? I am now at a loss again any ideas please?
Once again many thanks.

update
got to find where and how to turn on /off card sharing etc ty lincs followed ur instructions on page 1 but it asks me to lan cs ?
so in xcas mode ive had a few channels work by following instructions on page 1 but after a while it freezes ? and i cant get to work again ? ive managed it 3 times working in last almost hr but not all the scrambled channels work? would they be cs channels and not xcas? slowly but surely getting there i think will update again as i get more

ok so at current i have a 80cm dish with a dual output lnb plugged into my sky plus box which I want to keep, but would also like to use one of these boxes with hotbird and astra in my spare room, what do I need?
I dont wanna go motorised and dont have the room for a second dish
suggestions?
Thanks

Get a twin feed bracket for your 80cm Dish, put a Monoblock LNB at the centre of the feed and align the Dish for Hotbird/Astra1. Then put the twin output LNB on the offset arm and adjust that for best reception of Astra2 (Sky)

Any update will be much appreciated this will only help everyone else, I have now spent 3 days trying to get the channels to work and am pulling my hair out.
Many thanks.

4 days now and still scrambled one question does the ethernet cable need to be connected 24/7? I am at a loss now with this box.
