[QUOTE="alec, post: 131515, member: 176125"] If it's anything like my Toppy TF 4000 PVR... The cable needs to be "null modem" (crossover of pins 2 and 3). Available e.g. on Ebay for a couple of £. With the toppy in standby, connect cable, run TFD_DOWN (downloaded from the Topfield site) and then select the new firmware file (find button). Click download. Press the power supply button on the topfield to bring it out of standby (no need to disconnect from the mains - it's in upgrade mode for a few seconds after switching on). Wait for upgrade to complete (should have "end" or similar on the display). Put box back into standby and disconnect cable. Some types may need to be disconnected from the mains at this point and then a factory reset (see menu). The Australian Topfield forum www.topfield-australia.com.au/frm/ (free registration required) has good tips in English (the German and Dutch sites are more comprehensive - if you speak the language!) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
