I am getting a 'waiting for a response from your receiver' message and it gets no further. i've tried unplugging afew times and restarting the software, but no joy.
I know it souonds like its not a null modem, but i'm positive I used it for this purpose last time and it looks exactly like the photos in the first post (has a big 'N' on it and was bought in maplins).
Amny help gratefully received
If you are using an Adaptor then that is your problem to be honest, it does need to be correctly assigned to a COMM port, also if the problem persists, then delete the firmware you have and Download it again okay.

The firmware is a fix, and that is the firmware that has been fixed, in other words (modded) to take into account the A/U. And it is the firmware on the first page of this thread, and Fla1101, that is a silly posting, and is not allowed on the forum, you will end up getting the thread closed down or worse, so please EDIT the post.

It is using an adapter - it worked last april though - I'll get a new cable. Do Maplins do null cable straight to usb?
I've tried the software from a few sources, including this web.
Thanks anyway

Well just check out the assigning of the COMM port here at the link, I know it is for a different box but it's the Adaptor your interested in okay. >>>>>>>>>

Hi Malaci
Sorry its dede36 here I was doing the box flashing on carries pc hence her username on my post. As i said today I have a genuine starview the box, u advised the gtrom 4.03 and the thebox v4.55 to download, I did , put it to sky sports 2 but its not updating. I just manually entered the codes there and its fine but Im wondering if the 4.55v was the right one or not

Why cant you assign it to the correct port mate? also your using Vista and a USB adapter so you may struggle getting it to work at all. As said can you get to a PC with XP even better with a 9 pin serial socket so that you can fit the null modem cable direct.

Yes but you need patients for it to update, keep changing the channels then leave it for 5 mins the change again.
BTW wrong thread mate.

Put it on Sky 2, set default key and when i exit it went data being updated for a couple of secs and came on, do you think the flash worked or was it because i manually entered the codes earlier.
thank you again for your time and patience

Yes it is the correct one for The Box, some people are finding that different channels update quicker, some say Sky 2 other's say Disney channel. it's trial and error at the minute but you are fine.

good evening all .
just a quick question
since updating my eurovox max i come home from work every night and the box is frozen with the message "please insert smart card "
i change channel and message changes to "please wait codes updating"
this takes about 10 mins then all back working
why is this ? is it because the box is on one channel for 10 hrs or so it never happens when i'm flicking channels etc
anybody else have this problem or any thoughts ?
