[QUOTE="DanGlee, post: 650436, member: 336028"] Hi, I have a quick question regarding connecting my 800HD to my PC! I originally tried to flash it via OTA ip address, but for whatever reason it failed and now I'm getting "ERR01: NO CA FOUND" I have been trying to get hold of a cable and the best I could get so far is a USB => RS232 (Female) I assumed this would work. I have tried connecting this via DreamUp and using the drivers that came with the cable, its defo pointing to COM3 but nothing is happening. I was browsing the web and found a link that said this: "Required Null Modem Cable (this is NOT the same as a serial or rs232 cable, although it looks the same)" via: _http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f34/guide-flashing-dreambox-dreamup-33/ Anyway, to cut a long story short... Does it DEFINITELY have to be a null modem? (I thought the RS232 was a null modem?) and, importantly... does the null modem have to be the same on each end, or can it be USB => Null Modem? Because I don't have the RS232 / Serial connection on my PC, as most new PCs don't any more? Any help / advice much appreciated! Thanks, DG. [/QUOTE]
