THat is what I will need. Looks like time to order I must maximize my shipping my order, to get the most from the shipping charge What else whould I buy?
No program guide, but it sounds like you can do this:
Download your satellites/tp's channels, etc to your computer, then use that as a back up, and then also you can edit the channels, rename, delete, etc and then upload them to your receiver.
how do you like the Traxis? I read your review...I am tempted. I forgot, how is the blind scan on it? You mention the channel editor....it comes with it's own?
I have not ordered the cable yet. I was trying to find it locally.....No luck! No null modem cables, no straight cables. I did find a null modem adapter......and Best Buy wants close to $40 for a usb to serial adapter. Wal-Mart shows online only for theit $25 adapter. So, I will order it sometime. I hat to spend half the cost of a reciever just so I can use a channel editor!
Thanks for the offer! I need to get a usb to serial adapter also. I have found online some real cheap places for the cables and such. I am waiting to hear how well it works from someone else before I order it I can't believe no one locally knows what I am talking about Of course it is 2006!
