Hello,
I suppose I might as well ask this here, just in case anybody wanders along who can advise me.
I am trying my Vantage X221TS CI receiver which I haven't used for a while, and I am wanting to load different firmware releases and also softcams.
My Windows Vista pc doesn't have a serial/RS232 port, so I have a Prolific USB to serial adaptor, to connect to the Vantage via a null modem cable.
I am having great trouble when using Winup26, in that data transfers usually appear to start then fail. Once or twice they have succeeded, but I have no idea which factors are affecting it.
It seems however, that I can load either .dlp or .hdp firmwares using the Vantage Channel Editor/ Loader version 2.3, but softcam uploads fail with a 'communication error'.
So, is there a method or tool I am missing here?
Many thanks,
Lee
