Hi,
I have a quick question regarding connecting my 800HD to my PC!
I originally tried to flash it via OTA ip address, but for whatever reason it failed and now I'm getting "ERR01: NO CA FOUND"
I have been trying to get hold of a cable and the best I could get so far is a USB => RS232 (Female)
I assumed this would work. I have tried connecting this via DreamUp and using the drivers that came with the cable, its defo pointing to COM3 but nothing is happening.
I was browsing the web and found a link that said this:
"Required
Null Modem Cable (this is NOT the same as a serial or rs232 cable, although it looks the same)"
via:

Anyway, to cut a long story short...
Does it DEFINITELY have to be a null modem? (I thought the RS232 was a null modem?)
and, importantly... does the null modem have to be the same on each end, or can it be USB => Null Modem? Because I don't have the RS232 / Serial connection on my PC, as most new PCs don't any more?
Any help / advice much appreciated!
Thanks,
DG.
