I have a CW Premium (3 of them) and a USB to Serial converter, plus a "Null" modem cable.

It only works if I load in "Standby" mode which is achieved by removing the RG6 cable from the back of the box and then booting up the box, then turning the front power button off so the LED displays this: --:--

My PC assigned the USB to Serial adapter to Com Port 3 in Device Manager, so make sure your you are selecting the correct Com Port on the CW Loader interface.

I'm running WXP Pro SP2

It also came with a mini CD with drivers, so you may have to install drivers if it came with any.

Note: Always unplug your box before connecting/disconnecting any cables or switches or anything else to it.
