When you disconnect the Receiver, following this procedures:

1. Turn off the receiver with remote control or from the front panel.
2. Turn off the power switch OFF, it locate on the rear. then unplug the AC core from the wall.
3. Now go a head disconnect your other cable.


When yo hoop up the receiver to PC, just revers of the above step

1. Connect the serial cable to receiver.

2. Plug in AC power core, then, then turn on receiver. Wait till receiver boot up and display ON.3.

3. Open the loader, and flash the bin file. When ldown load complete, Wait till receiver boot up and display ON.

If you interupting while receiver booting up or flash, it might cause problem to your receiver. So what ever action you going to take, just Wait till receiver boot up and display ON, even on the PC pop up down load OK or completed.

2500a uses straigth cable and programs just like a fortec

Thanks for the replies.

Then I need to bring the dish cable to my computer room.

Can I just run an extension adapter? or do I need to bring a third cable from the dish to this room? (I have two receivers right now).

I really can't bring the PC to each room.

Thanks!

Just disconnect the reciver, and bring it to the PC

Mine is right out of the box, 2700a. So are you saying hook up to the dish first, then unhook and take to PC to program. I am asking this because when I try to download it just fails, no error or any message other than fail. My chord has a gender changer on it because it is male-female not female-female. Would this play havoc with the download?

Thanks

topnotch i don't think you have the correct cable 2700a uses null cable did you get a cable with the box?

I Think you are right. No I didn't get one, they were back ordered. I just went out and got the one I explained. I went out and got a null modem cable today. I will update later on howe I got along. Thanks for the input.
