xxxxx://www.ftaprosupport.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=199 They have all the latest bins. Replace the xxxx with you know what
Did you read the posts right above yours? If you install the new bin you don't need the keys. Go to the site I suggested above.
If that site doesn't have any new bin files, there ain't any. You will have to wait just like everyone else.
just recently purchased a Viewsat Ultra with 18' Dish with Dual LNB. I connected and follows exactly what the manual said but it does not work. When I goes to Antenna setup, I did auto scan but there are no channels. This is what I get for my signal for the satellite picture on the left it said "71S" and the satellite on the left which is Q it does not have any signal. I had tried moving my satellite around but it does not do anything. Any body out there can helps me with this? Do I need to download any softwares or programs into my viewsat system? What do I need to do in order to picks up signals. Thank you
You have not got your dish pointed at a sat if your q signal is 0. The S signal is telling you that your box is getting a signal to your lnb. Go to here and use this site to get the right set up for your dish, then you can twik it to get the best Q signal. http://satcalculator.freehostia.com/
Hello to all and Happy New Year. I have been browsing through past conversations/Q&A's and trying to figure out how it all works. I think that I am beginning to understand how most of it works... beginning. I really just wanted to know, what I need to do to get started. I have a Viewsat VS2000 ultra. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly, especially since it's the holidays and I understand that everyone is quite busy. Once again, happy holidays and all the best for the new year to all.
I suggest using the JUMP drive. A. Loading your BIN using Null cable: ? Connect serial cable (NULL) to PC>STB ? Open up Loader of choice (PVR-Loader 1.1 or Loader2) ? Click on Tool>Configuration>Com port (Default is com 1) ? Click on Open File ? Click on PC>STB (Notice the progression bar in loader) ? Turn the power in the back ON ? Wait for Loader say Completed. Then on box LCD front panel screen say I.N.S.T>END>0000 or until clock count to 0.001 IT IS VERRY IMPORTANT. DO NOT TURN THE POWER OFF TO SOON ? Turn the power OFF in front and power OFF in back ? After downloading the “BIN”, unhook NULL cable from PC>STB ? Connect all the cables to your box/TV ? Turn the power ON in the front and back ? Press Menu key ? Select Installation and press OK ? Select Antenna Setup and press OK ? Select your Sat. ? Here if you have a DISEqC switch enter the port #, Motor or Legacy SW ? No LNB Type need to select (from new, you have only two selection Standard and Universal). STB will select your LNB Automatic ? Press Exit and select Yes for saving the settings ? Your back to Antenna Setup screen ? Here you have Three choices: 1. Channel Scan 2. Auto Scan 3. Blind Scan ? Select Auto Scan ? Press OK ? You are in the Auto Scan window and you see the Bird(Sat.) you selected and on the top of your screen are three options: 1. Search option 2. Network search 3. Scan Start ? You don’t change nothing here, go down and select Scan Start and press OK ? You do this for all the Birds (Sat.) you have ? Wait for Autoroll and watch TV B. Loading your BIN using USB Jump Drive ?
