if you look at link that e45 and myself gave you the tutorial does say, you may need the usb/232 adaptor. check before you buy.

The null modem cable you need is female both ends so it connects to the male connection on the back of your 780 and the back of your pc. I got one from maplin even though the staff there didn't even know what it was. Good luck Mantas42

i know it sounds stupid but are you sure box is on then off, when i first did one the box was already on so when i connected it up and switched on i had actually switched it off. so i was getting that message.

Ok now that you have that problem you now need to set your comport up on your pc, also where did you get the cable from that you are using to flash the box, did you buy it in Maplins by any chance.
