    Hi Ten


    That is the image I DL and tried, I have joined UKCVS also and am in a PM with PaphosAL. Once I have worked through things I will post the solution here, I have a feeling it is down to the network issues myself as I am unable to connect to the UKCVS server for update. I have used the Auto and manual settings.

    Same here, I found a couple of DM500s in a box, so was going to have a play with them, Got the image over NP, but as above no listing and even when I have set to a single TP for scanning, nothing its been going for 30 mins at least now and getting bored of it lol


    Also I noticed after I rebooted the default settings turned off the networking, so had to go in and save them again

    I have used several in the past, I use them for work as most laptops do not have an RS232 port on them.


    At least 2 different kinds of chip sets FTDI (which tends to be the better of the 2) and Prolific (tend to be the cheaper). Then when you bring in operating systems it just gets silly.


    I just keep a couple of old Dell D505 of D610 for the RS232 with windows XP on them, can pick up the machines on ebay for £40 but they tend to be good enough for sat boxes.
