if you don't have a null modem cable (if thats what you mean)no,if you have a null modem and no someone with the firmware on their starview 3 you want you could do a box to box transfer.

That happens a lot my pc wont let me flash starviews but any other box is ok,i can only suggest you try a mates pc with a serial port on it,do you could try 601.

karljd,
I have downloaded software from my computer onto a number of sv1 and never had any problems.I done quite a number of sv3 without a problem but the last 6 boxes keep saying flash failed retry or exit. I also tried a eurovox and couldn't do that either. Tonight I tried a sv1 and that failed as well.I have tried a new rs232 cable and also my other desktop and keep getting the same result. I have not changed anything on my 2 desktops except upgraded virus from netguard to pcguard with virgin but have tried downloading with this switched off and still no joy. The firmware for sv3 was the GTRom super 8.00e and for sv1 was GTRomv4.00.exe that I got from 4shared .com. Any ideas?
