Make sure you plug in the cable from the dish to the receiver at the LNB 13/18v INPUT. Unplugging while it is finishing causes the unit to fail You must wait till this process finishes before unplugging. When finished it will say END, then 0000, then boot, then END, then back to last channel or 0000. Some problems occur from users not waiting long enough after flashing.

You may NOW turn "OFF" the ViewSat and connect it to your TV and satellite dish cable " on " will be displayed and when the reboot is complete, "0000" "DONE" for 10 seconds while the ViewSat does housekeeping chores "inst" for 15 seconds while the software is being installed When file transfer is completed, the Front Panel will display: Make sure the Computer & STB are done before you go to the next step. Don't do anything as the progress bar is going across. Even try turning STB on from the back first then click PC->STB. If the progress bar don't move after about a minute start over again. Then turn STB on from the back and at first light click PC->STB on the loader. Click on the icon just below the word TOOL and check the COM PORT. Click on it and it will automatically go on the first line of the loader. Find the bin file you un-zipped that now ends in PGM. Start the loader-2 and click on OPEN FILES. 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. 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. Take the cable off going to the LNB to be safe. Or use a Nul adaptor from Radio Shack number 26-264B to make a straight through cable a Nul cable. Use a Nul CABLE RS232 on your receiver from the computer. You can flash (load) your receiver with a bin on top of the bin (file) you already have.

Use only Platinum PGM files on Platinum or Lite If this is a new STB/receiver you should get at least two files before you start.Īn up to date latest file, found in the Viewsat Files (fixs and updates) section here
