Hi, Can I use a cable that is USB on one end and RS 232 on the other for updating a Dreambox as I cant use a normal RS 232 as my laptop does not have the relevant slot. | ||

It really depends which one you have. Some work , some don't. Mostly those converters are an RS232 converter but not a full null modem. What DM do you have, can you not flash it via your router using the Web Interface ? | ||

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | Me, I do. Why can't you connect to it via ethernet and use the web interface, it is much quicker and easier? I have used a usb-rs232 as well of course, for an old receiver. The one I had was not a null modem, so a null-modem cable had to be connected on the rs232 end. I believe you can buy them with the null-modem included, try Ebay | ||

My System: -DM800 fixed on 28.2-quad -DM7020 motorized -Skystar HD2 motorized -Cards&Cams&Cas | The web interface is your best option mate... the serial connection is a pain in the xxx particularly if you do not have the right cable; not to mention the speed advantage | ||
