I have just bought another Viewsat Ultra. I tried to load the bin file several times but at the end of transfer it says FAIL. I even tried set to set download at the end still says FAIL. It's not even taking factory bin. Any input will be appreciated.

flash failed = defective/wrong cable or computer port..

Thats why most get the USB flash drive with the Ultra!

LK I can download any file in my old Ultra I have. Infact I just did it and it works on that. I just noticed that in my old Ultra under system info it says Bootloader 0.0B and the new one says 0.08 do you guys think that could be the problem. Maybe manufacture fault?

Try uploading 117 or 118 factory bin...and try different factory bins...also try using loader 1.1 instead of 2.0, if factory bins alone won't load with 2.0...and see what else is in your system info screen..be persistent...and try rebooting with rear switch, like with nite rider lights..

I see others have had exact same problem as U and factory bins and different loaders worked...and a few switched to the USB flash and it worked perfectly then..just needs a "jump start" maybe..

and u can always transfer data/bins from old to new receiver ..

Eye Tunes be specific. If you are having FTA problems then start your own thread or read some you might find answer.

I have uploaded the 286t for my pnst2500a would this be the correct one. Also when I tried to do my channel list It doesn't allow me the option to put in echo 110 and 119. Do you know how I can fix this??? I have been trying to fix this for a few days and I just don't know what I am doing wrong. I don't want you to think i'm being harsh on the spoon fed thing, but with the heart burn I am having trying to fix this, I would melt the spoon :-)

Yeap. Go back and delete all channels. (easily done by doing a factory reset).

Go and turn the power off LNB for 110 and then do a sat scan of 119 (F1).

Once you have done this repeat the same step but turning off the power for the LNB of 119 and sat scan 110.

Then go back and turn both LNB Powers back on.

Enjoy TV.
