[QUOTE="doorguru, post: 1146761, member: 418516"] Okay.. I know this is an oldish thread and has a lot of good info about doing an upgrade to the WS-6906, but I am still confused. (I'm from Florida!) I was playing around with my WS-6906 and set it to "Default", losing my TV Program. I did the same thing in the past, but I don't remember how I resolved it. I have no cable but probably did in the past. It must of got lost. I probably had an old computer back then with a RS232/DB9 serial port. Anyway.. I have the loader software and the .bin file, but I am confused about the cables. I purchased a USB to DB9 (male) cable. It did not come with software, but when I plugged it in, Windows 11 recognized it as "USB to Serial Port (COM 6 ) " . Now my computer has a RS232/DB9 serial port. So exactly what else do I need to connect to the USB of 6906? Something to convert it back the other way and a null adapter?? Would a USB to USB null cable work? Any help would be appreciated.
