I'm not sure what the heck to do. My viewsat pro is completely frozen! I don't mean the satellites are down. Which they are but I mean none of the buttons will work on the remote or on the receiver.
It is stuck on channel 00178 and even switching off the receiver from the back doesnt help. It will turn off... it says boot when it turns back on and it goes back to 178 and still nothing works. I cant change the channel, I cant get info, or the guide, I cant go to the pvr files... nothing.
What worked for me was switching it off in the back, then switching it back on with the dish cable off or quickly changing to a free-signal channel like channel 100. I'm limited to watching the six mini-feeds there or the old recordings on my PVR drive. Hopefully we'll get a quick solution
tin fish...I gave this advice to another guy with "frozen" receiver for VS pro. Use the VSPROLoader(serial port loader) then newest file. He said it worked for him. Give it a try
