[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1039289, member: 176704"] Chris As I said at the beginning of this thread, the whole raison-d'etre for it was/is to reduce the number of network cables in the very small area behind the receiver stack by using as many USB wireless dongles as is possible - and now I'm down to 2 instead of 5-6 (the other is for the large Canon PIXMA 895 MFP!). I've learnt that I will always need 1 cable for the 5x receivers - but that's the "lot" for now. Hopefully soon, I'll post a small pic in the relevant thread to demonstrate just how small and cramped that space is - just waiting for another HMDI switch and some more short HDMI cables to arrive in order to tidy what cabling (the HDMI cables from each receiver, and quite a few cables to the various LNBs down the garden - but I hope to reduce those in the near future) has to remain there! As for "flashing" the dongles, I've never heard of doing that and I would have thought they are pretty much all non-reflashable anyway - the problem is to find the correct drivers for the dongle chipsets in the various closed-source receiver set-ups, and, for some dongles, those don't seem to be present.
