I logged the new codes on my nagra dish network and the regular channels are working fine, although my ppv channels are not working and many others too, can some one help me troubleshoot this problem? thanks

What bin do you have? New keys will not help you unless you have the newest bin.

I have a viewsat 2000 platinum and I am trying to download the new bin upgrades properly from my home pc. I am not sure about the proper steps. Is there a web page that explains it in detail? I don't wat to be a pain, I hate to get only a few channels the way things are.

You will have to wait for new files to come out before you can get all the channels. When the file are out you can use this guide to set up your extreme.

If this is a new STB/receiver you should get at least two files before you start.
LOADER2.ZIP (viewsat utility section )
An up to date latest file, found in the Viewsat Files (fixs and updates) section here

Use only Platinum PGM files on Platinum or Lite
Extreme PGM files are for Extreme only

HOW TO FLASH.
You can flash (load) your receiver with a bin on top of the bin (file) you already have. It will replace it.
Use a Nul CABLE RS232 on your receiver from the computer. Or use a Nul adaptor from Radio Shack number 26-264B to make a straight through cable a Nul cable. Take the cable off going to the LNB to be safe. If you don't have a 9 pin plug on your computer you may need to use a USB to Serial cable 26-183 at Radio Shack.

Un-zip all the files and hook up the cable from your computer to the STB, keep the STB off with the switch in the back. Start the loader-2 and click on OPEN FILES. Find the bin file you un-zipped that now ends in PGM. Click on it and it will automatically go on the first line of the loader. Click on the icon just below the word TOOL and check the COM PORT. Then turn STB on from the back and at first light click PC->STB on the loader. If the progress bar don't move after about a minute start over again. Sometimes the timing is critical. Even try turning STB on from the back first then click PC->STB. Don't do anything as the progress bar is going across. Make sure the Computer & STB are done before you go to the next step. They may not get done at the same time.

When file transfer is completed, the Front Panel will display:
"inst" for 15 seconds while the software is being installed
"DONE" for 10 seconds while the ViewSat does housekeeping chores
Next, the ViewSat automatically REBOOTs
" on " will be displayed and when the reboot is complete, "0000"
You may NOW turn "OFF" the ViewSat and connect it to your TV and satellite dish cable

Some problems occur from users not waiting long enough after flashing. The unit now has an extra step involved. When finished it will say END, then 0000, then boot, then END, then back to last channel or 0000. You must wait till this process finishes before unplugging. Unplugging while it is finishing causes the unit to fail

PLUGGING IN CABLE.
Make sure you plug in the cable from the dish to the receiver at the LNB 13/18v INPUT. Not the ANT IN. The cables coming from the dish to the switch should be put on the switch at the same number as you have set in your receiver. "Example", 119 cable goes on number 1 on the diseqc switch and the receiver has #1 for 119 in the program. You can only get one Satellite for each one LNB you have. Two LNB's two Satellites, and so on.

Now you will need to set your settings. Below is what most have.
MENU, INSTALLATION, then 0000 or 0937 or 2668 or 3570 then ANTENNA SETUP then side arrow to ECHOSTAR 7 119.0W check your Satellite setting. Then do the same to ECHOSTAR 8,10 110.0W
