from one problem to the next!!!
i just brought home a viewsat ultra. downloaded the loader 2 and chaninfo-may-01-06.cha, SatInfo_ May-01-06.sat, 01-10-2007_opkey.hex, and PFTAUSW-070125U.PGM(which is the most recent)
i can't get the blxxdy thing to work.

i think i did everything i was suppose to. there's no where in the menu to choose code, to enter keys? no autoroll option....anybody got a sludge hammer??? lol

you need to load bin 117 first it is a factory bin then load 119 and then the last new bin... once you put in the factory bin your code will apper you will not have to enter keys as it auto rolls quick

step by step using only serial null modem no usb needed!

1 Load VSULTRA_v117_factory_bin.pgm
2 Load DBPSW-061127U_A.PGM
3 Load the latest xxxxxx-xxxxxxU pgm file in the ultra section + your sat and channel files
4 Optional load your openkey file or wait for your autoroll

Their were new bin's released in the past few day's. PFTAUSW-070125U.PGM is the newest bin for that receiver. You can get it from here.

Then you can follow the instructions here by Mc Sunny .


To my shadow,

I feel I answered in the best way possible for this moment. I feel it unnecessary to explain in great detail a bin that is not for his receiver, how to load a file with a serial port and cord, or how to unzip a file. Thanks

Stephane - Tune to channel 105 and then let it roll. Then chance to channel 300.

i actually updated the keys manually...but i will surely try next time. I was told to shut the switch off for about 20mins and i would b good....hummm ill try the 105/300 next time. i didn't see any new threads about vs or new bins so i new it was the keys. thanks!!

I have that problem every now and then. Some channels don't roll as fast as others. I always find that 105 rolls rather quickly and then I just tune to 300 to double check. But there is really nothing set in stone. Some people use different channels. The point of this drill is to find a channel with good signal and allow the keys to roll...

Stephane - Mc Sunny is one of the more knowledgeable people here. I just try to add options, but he's normally on the money!

Prfrmnj, why is my signal at 100% with bev 2700 rec'r andonly about 72% with VS? the quality is about 80 to 100% i sometimes see 67% but mainly all above 80%

Can't answer that without your entire system setup. It could be a lot of things.

what do you need to know? it was the same with pansat 2700 clone. the signal was never 100% but was higher the vs

Stephane - I'm not sure I understand. I do not test on bev because of my location. Can't help you with that... Hopefully someone here can asnwer. I do know that different receivers give you different readings. For example, in Puerto Rico when I use a 6 foot dish I get 115 signal with the DN 311, but yet my VS only reads about 90. I would assume it's not different with you.
