Just wanted to know what's the difference between a kryptview serial cable and a null modem cable, which you use for dreamboxes and technomate boxes?

How can you tell which one is which and how are they different?

Thanks

Thanks m8.

So I can't use a serial cable with a dream box or a technomate box, it won't work, right?

So if I wanted to use it without the adaptor, I have to make sure the wires are 'cross wired' of the cable?

you will have to check the wiring diagram if you do not have the correct cable they are only 2 quid to buy it's not worth messing about look at the links i have posted if you want to mess around
