Just to be clear, The Topset program runs on your local PC and allows you to edit the Desired Channel list...add ITV HD etc. This stores the program list in a file format with '.std' extension. It is this .std file which you need to upload to the receiver. I have the 7700HSCI and I found the...

It's been a while since I did this but I seem to recall having a few problems with the COM port assignment in Windows not matching the COM port number that Topset wanted to use..I think I had to force Windows to use a COM port number that was already assigned to something else (whatever it was...

I think we may be talking at cross purposes here..my USB to 232 converter is a small 'block' which requires a USB B-A lead to connect to the PC and a 232 null modem lead to connect to the Toppy..sounds like you have an integral lead which is USB to 232 in one piece? I'm not sure if yours will...

Can't record on mine either. And I noticed that ITV HD is shown as a Radio channel on the front-panel display.

Just to be clear, my set-up is TF7700HSCI - PVR with External Hard drive. The 'null-modem' lead is a particular type of RS232 lead (wired to connect two devices 'host-to-host' I believe). I use this plugged into the RS232 port on the rear of the Topfield plus an RS232 to usb adapter plugged...

You need to use Topset..it allows access to settings which aren't available using the Receiver's normal menu system. I wouldn't risk connecting an A-A USB lead between PC and Receiver. You need to get hold of a USB to RS232 converter and a RS232 null modem lead then you will be in business.

Many thanks to legolas80 Worked first time for me

I would be interested to see if you get this working. I know the Topfield / Vega documentation implies this can be done (confusingly the 7700 manual shows a type B socket on the rear of the receiver when in fact it is type A fitted). I posted a question on Topfield's website asking if this...

That's interesting..I've never heard about this before now. Unfortunatey I've now splashed the cash on the Toppy and am generally very pleased with it, although I must say I think the Pace HD picture is slightly better,and I prefer the operation of the Pace remote handset but just about...

In my case I was using Astra 1 CAID. This worked for many months but after circa Stealth 235 nothing would clear.

I did have my Diablo Light working with the Pace DS810 for a while, but round about Stealth v235 it wouldn't work at all anymore..just kept returning the 'invalid CI module' error message. And the same with all subsequent Stealths. I've just bought a new Topfield and the same Diablo worked in...
