What might cause an VSUltra to freeze? Have loaded factory bin, then loaded newest bins, peformed factory defaults, then loaded bins,have tried just about every combination of reset, load, etc... but still get random freezing. I have two Ultras, one is fine, other freezes. Any ideas on what to check? All files loaded USB. haven't tried write via serial....yet.
To: People who were all gaga about Viewsat Ultra 3 months ago - The good old Pansat 2500 converted to 2700 now works better in every way. The BINs are coming out before Viewsat BINs, they are fast - I mean really fast, the autoroll works, no freeze ups, and channels changes are extremely fast. I find the coverted receiver faster and better today than the Sonicview 4000.
Nalin, good point, support is a key factor in choosing a fta rec'er. but you have to look at the global picture. i started with a pansat clone...2700n2 which i fried and brought back to life. i also support vs extreme, cs 6100, 7000, my vs ultra and cnx duo. personally, i'm not a cs fan even less pansat and clones. i really like my vs ultra, and cnx. you have to remember, you get what you pay for. the epg on pansats are really crap, you have to admit but hey it does the job, you want free tv and you don't wanna spend then it's a good option. if you want less trouble with loading bins, better epg and different features and you can afford to spend more money then there plenty to choose from. i'm really satisfied with both machines i own. it's a personal choice.always have a back up!!!
