You have to set it to comm port 1 in device manager m8

I have tried to put it on comm 1 and still have no joy. i click upload to upload the channels, it flicks between com 1 and com 2 like its searching for a signal

are you using a laptop as people do have probs with usb adaptors i use a port replicator without any probs or just take the box to a desktop as you only need power to the box for updating
