i tried updating thru usb to rs232 on my laptop, won't work. i tried using the rs232 cross(change to 2 to 3 and 3 to 2 wires) cable with the 9 pins both ends it updated. my problem now is showtime will pop up then disappear, the other scrambled channels are ok.

please advise what is wrong.

Make sure you check device manager for the com port that was assigned to your usb2rs232 cable. with that u can know what com port to connect to when you want to update.

thanks onyema, your advise will be for my laptop's usb to rs232.

the other problem i have is when i update using my desktop using the ali-dvds-021709 software it updated except for showtime programs, it pops up and then disappears. do i have to update it again or did i miss an update version.

there is a new update program ali-dvds-021909 but when i updated using this the message was update error so i used the 021709 version.

is there a rule in updating the software of the decoder, that is, do we have to update to the version before the newest so we can update to the next latest version. Please i need your expert advise. thanks.

put it in any satellite and auto search. It will come

thanks again, you have been very helpful.
in single searchn there are other items here which i am new at, please advise on what parameters i should put on the following
1. lnb = standard, user or universal
2. diseqc
3. tp
4. fta only
Is ok to use multi search instead of single search, because multi search does not have many details to input.

Thanks in advance for your much need help.

1. lnd- universal
2. diseqc- how many dish you have? select ur port from diseqc switch
3.tp-doesn't matter
4.fta only- no
multi search to search different satellites at same time

Thanks again.

I have only one dish, how do i know which port to select?
if i use multi search, and check only one satellite will it work
sorry, i want to make sure before i make scan. Will it not erase the existing channels.

you have been of great help, glad to have u in this forum

Thanks Jasu and basith9381,
I was able to scan(single search), following your instruction to the letter.
However after scanning, the same channels were there. The orbit channels which I did not have are still missing. Please advise what is wrong with my receiver. I used nilesat101/102 as satellite, disabled diseqc, fta = no, polarity = auto.

the only orbit channels that i have are tcm, animal planet, bloomberg.
I am having espn but i think they are no longer broadcasting in orbit.

Thanks again hope to hear from you soonest.
