My Grandparents have a box super and it obviously needs updating now. Thing is, they either didn't get a null cable with it or they've misplaced it. I have a usb to serial adapter, will this work with (for example) this h**p://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Null-Modem-Serial-Cable-DB9F-to-DB9F-1-8m-RS232-75p-P-P_W0QQitemZ130258244538QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Audio ElectronicsVideo_Video_TelevisionSetTopBoxes?hash= item130258244538&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72 %3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 to update the firmware? My uncle also has a Eurovox, same question for that. Thanks.
