    Hi there somebody might be able to help me. On powering up ariva combo box i get ASH displayed on box screen. I believe i need to reset/re install the software to fix. My research indicates i need a null modem cable or rs232 cable to connect pc to box. My software vesion is v1.18b6. Can somebody tell me where i can get the software to reinstalll and how i might do it. Im not to computer savy...

    Yes, and just be aware that it is quite difficult to get a lappy or pc with an rs 232 socket. I have the same problem with a different box and its a bitch to get the correct machine.:mad:

    The older machines with Windows XP are, I believe, the last generation to have the socket.

    Thanks guys, for me i can access pc with serial connector in work so not an issue. Just need to source the cable (male to male adapter and null cable which has male to female) which can be purchased in cpc for less than 5 euro +pp. 22euro over the counter in a tech supply shop in cork. Its always nice to do it yourself and hoping it works
