Whats wrong with your Spiderbox? Why are you using the recovery tool.? Your last post says its showing channel settings so its booting up.

Hi
Ok, artifacts problems are likely power supply or graphics chip problem (providing you have a good signal) time to look for another Box.
The Recovery tool was only intended as a possible solution when the box sticks with F100 on the display and won't boot up past it.

Sometimes, some USB - Serial adapters work better than others.
Check the forum to see which one others have used.
