X2 Premium Editor August 15th - Discussion

[bestman22]

I tried to understand what X2 Premium Editor is but unfortunately I couldn't. Could anyone explain it to me in a simple way?. By the way, I only have NileSat on my box.

Any help would be appreciated.

really shouldn't need it,if you load eurasian firmware the sat lists should be correct.
you may not even be able to load old firmware into the august version of the editor anyway.
You would have to use an older version.

Thanks for your reply.

But sorry I didn't get that. I am new to this topic.

I've been trying to get this to connect my X2 Premium HD II with no success. Using Windows XP (and Windows 8.1), and a 9 pin null modem cable. All I get is connection time out messages. The software was installed as Administrator, no errors detected during installation. The cable works fine with my Fortec Lifetime Ultra and Channel Master, so I know the cable is good. Is there some kind of special COM settings needed in EZ-Manage Tool, or is a different type of serial cable needed? Or is there a third party software that can also connect to this receiver. THANKS!

The null cable should be correct and if you connect using the Fortec you would think the com ports should match.

You could try this small tool, it's a bit outdated but may show you if the ports are open. >> [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

any terminal program should show activity on the com port when you boot the receiver.
I assume the cable is the correct null modem.

[Gary Bidwell]

it sounds like you are using the wrong version of editor for the version of firmware. The older editor only works with older firmware.

[dr.zin]

if I remember correctly there were 3 different versions of the editor but they all should make contact with the receiver,just not work 100% if not matched properly.

[Gary Bidwell]

I have used all three and one does not work with newer firmware
