okay guys i am stumped for once, i just bought a viewsat pro and a sonic view 4000, i updated my 4000 via usb and it worked, and now im setting up my viewsat pro from scratch. i chose the satelites and all and have channels. when i go menu installation and upload usb it says err on the reciever, when i go do it through the serial cable it says cannot connect to com port 1 i know for a fact that it can and i have always updated recievers from the same port and clues on how i can update this one. i dont have a hard drive its just the reicever.}
okay i got it connected to port one it was a speed problem, now when i hit upload its saying reset your stb's and wont upload or anything just an Information message i cant close it or anything
Sim kang : You should be able to upload the latest file from Totalfta site using a USB drive, exactly the same way as doing it on the Sonicview 4000. And you must extract teh file before using it. You should see which USB port is active for input and which one is for recording. You should not need the cable for BIN upgrade although it is possible.
this is what happens when i get it through the usb, i select the front, and i got to the menu it says upoad s/w and upload channels then on the bottom it says upload s/w --->usb and upload channels ----> usb and i click upload s/w usb root file and all and it basically says its done it doesnt show me whitch file it took and i check the product information and its still the file from august and the reciever actually put a new file onto my memory disk and renamed it
i fixed it someone from ftabinsnet helped me told me to do this

Try formatting your usb stick fat32 & copy only the .all file onto the stick. Insert into your receiver & then flip the rear switch off & back on & the file will update itself
and it worked i just left it and it updated automatically
I did what you said and still mine is still not giving PPV.
I then went into Update software list and it showed 3 in a list I hit the one that was the new Bin file it said loading program do not turn of is this what you did? Its working
It also showed a ODS7810PVR_V0104.OPT FILE AND A ODS7810 PVRT_Channel.OCH FILE any idea what these files are
