Cable Types:
FOR ANYONE WHO HAVING TROUBLE LOADING YOUR FTA MAKE SURE U HAVE RIGHT CABLE TYPE.
Want to know what cable you need to flash that shiny, new receiver ? There are two types of cables used, and both look the same on the outside, but are wired differently internally.
They are the straight DB9 RS232 female to female cable, and the Null 9 pin RS232 female to female cable. The straight DB9 cable has all pins connected the same at both ends (pin 1-1, 2-2,3-3,etc.).
The Null cable (also known as a Null-Modem) has pins 2 and 3 crossed (pin 2-3, 3-2). You can use a straight DB9 cable to program receivers requiring a Null cable, by purchasing an inexpensive Null adapter to attach to one end of the straight DB9 cable. This allows one cable to be used for any receiver.
Here is a list of the most popular receivers on the market and the cable needed to program them.
