Serial to USB not connecting on 1600 chd

[Ross_37]

Hi guys

I have downloaded the channel editor ver 1.0.2 from Icecrypt website but cant get this to connect the STB. I am using a serial to USB lead. I have setup the baud rate ect. but when trying to down load channel database the initial test fails on format 1 and 2

any idea's or an alternative editor

Hi Guy's

can no one advise. how are you editing your channels for this box. What editor are you using as the ICECRTPT one is very very basic. I can see the channel list via the FTP site but can't get a download to USB

Can some one help PLEASE

I had trouble making one work recently, sometimes windows finds the correct driver a lot of times it does not, this worked for me and a lot of other peeps if you read the many thank you posts.

Hi TonyO

thanks for your response . this was the driver l was using however l have loaded the driver from your URL and just the same

Just to understand the process when you configure the port i.e. com16: 115200,8,m,1 for the incecypt editor at what point on the 1600 do you go to, to connect to PC. Menu> usb???

I have found that prior to loading the box (before the ICECRYPT logo) it will communicate but no data is downloaded although it has tested the port and proceeded to down load information which is blank. there has to be a way of loading this in "standby" when the software is loaded

It worked for me, sorry your not sorted, I don't know anything about icecrypts, the driver does work ok though with the usb to serial on other sat boxes.

What windows system are you using ?

I am using windows 7. I believe the driver / usb to to rs232 is working, it just a matter of finding what stage the 1600hd has to be in,. On another box where l use a rs232 null cable it has to be "offline / standby" for the data to transfer to the editor /pc
