Thanks for the tip. But I still confuse because when I installed & plugin the USB cable, it showed as COM4 then tried to load and the loader flashing between COM1 & COM4 even I chose the COM4 on the loader...it doesn't work. I did try the other way around, set both to COM1, but it failed ... any suggestion !!!

I am trying to use my PC to update Bin files. But Coolsat downloader is unable
to find com port even with auto detect. What I am doing is incorrect?
Can any one HELP!!!!!!!! please my MOM is giving me hell she can't see anything at the moment.

Plug up all your cables.
Turn the Coolsat on from the back
Open the loader and select the files
Press the autodetect. If it does not detect, uplug the usb cable and plug it back in.
Press the autodetect again....

Kepp trying...

Hi Parole,
I've exact the problem as osamcdonald, it still asking me to turn on the Koolsat 5K receiver, but the receiver is always on (power of back & front end are ON), I tried unplug & plug the USB and load the file but no help. My OS is Windows XP and my USB cable is "SemiTech USB-HID" and I did try to set COM port from 1 to 4.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks.

It seems that vista doesnt support serial adapters. I purchased a dynex usb to com adapter and vista wouldnt accept it, at least not the 64bit version.
