Hello Peter,
I'll just run through the setup of a Starshoot on an LX200 to make sure you've got it right.
You want the USB port from the camera running to your computer obviously, the other phone-like cable plugs into the "Autoguider" port on your scope.
When you have PHD up and running, you need to first click on the little camera icon, and set it to the Orion Starshoot Autoguider. Then click the telescope icon, and set this to "In camera"
Hit the looped arrow button to set up a string of short shots that allow you to focus and find a guide star. Once you've got that, click on your guide star. Make sure there's a green box around it. Then click "Stop", then "PHD".
Wait for the calibration procedure to finish (there are numbers down the bottom of the screen telling you what it's doing), then it's autoguiding.
This is how I do it, and it works for me anyway.
