    The forecaster is kaput but, there are other ways to revive these great boxes that work really well. I am currently running the Ultra and a 9000 with a PC.

    You will need to start here: http://www.satfix.net/showthread.php...t-Captiveworks

    I use an old desktop as it has an RS 232 serial port but you can use a laptop with a USB to serial adapter.

    Here is another good post you can look at: http://www.satfix.net/showthread.php...etup-and-files

    Alternatively you can use a certain type of router which I'm not familiar with. Some of the guys on here are more up to speed with this method.

    Anything else feel free to write back.

    Cheers
