Hey guys,

I have 2 Viewsat Ultras. I wanted to take the Satellite and Channel information from one and transfer it to the other. Is there any way to do that using the USB ??

I know I did it once before, but I completely forgot how.

Any help is much appreciated.

i don't know about viewsat ultra, but i can tell u about kbox.. (should be similar).
if u go to menu and find tranfer data, or usb etc..
and it will say transfer channel data to usb, (this option will come up after u enter ur usb)..
and then save it (u can rename it , whatever u wanna call it)..
and then go to other viewsat ultra and now this time plug in usb and move the right arrow until u see save channel data..
and u can save it that way.. i think it should be similar to viewsat ultra..

On Viewsat Ultra we cannot transfert data to USB but on Serial port thats possible.

Anony go to [link removed] and download "General Satellite Info File (compatible with Platinum, Lite, Xtreme, Ultra only !)
Unzip it and load it in receiver.

If you think you miss some channel, just do a blind scan on sats and all TPs coming

I dont know why, but support on Viewsat is very good and its very rare we need to do a manual TP search.

But i agree with you that can be considered.
We are only User not Fabricant.

Thanks guys for all the help.

Just decided to do everything manually.

I know I transfered the channels and satellites to a USB before. Just don't remember how.

Maybe it was a programming glitch that let me do it, but I remember going to "Receiver Upgrade" and hitting the "F" keys to load channel and satellite data onto my USB. Not working now though. Strange.
