With your Null Modem cable connected.
Start with the unit turned off (switch on the rear).
Open Loader2,
Browse to file you want.
Hit PC-->STB. Turn on switch on the rear of the unit. Transfer will begin.
At this point don't touch or close anything. Not until you see 0001, 0002, 0003 or higher displayed on the unit.
Now you can close Loader2 and disconnect cable. Either turn the unit on with the remote, turn the unit off (with the switch on the rear) and unplug it (if need be).

The unit does not need to be rebooted after flashing.

Ok thanks for the help but I have 1 more question. When it starts at 0001 and so on when will it stop ? I didn't even set it up right and it counting down. I'm waiting for it to stop before I try doing it again. It's now at 0009.
Should i go ahead and start over ? Thanks

It says error occored. I have a view sonic platinum lite. I have the loader 2. Downloaded the vs platinum fix from total fta. Am I missing something ? I tried to install just like AV posted. Do I install factory bin first ? Thanks

Yo don't need to signup anywhere
If yo follow my instructions

Programs required:
Loader2
071024X.PGM

Instructions:
First you must make sure you have a RS-232C DB-9 Null modem Serial Cable
Connect it to the Serial Port on the back of your computer
and the other end to the back of your Viewsat

Make sure your Viewsat Power Switch on the rear is in the OFF position
Double Click Loader2 to open the application
Click Open Files
Choose and Double Click DBPSW_070911X.PGM
Click PC -> STB
Turn Power Switch on the rear to the ON Position
Now the software will load and you will see some activity.
Just let it finish and wait for the Viewsat
to completely Shut Off and fully Restart.

Thats it, your done. Now you can watch TV.
You may need to wait a few minutes for the Keys to update.
If so make sure your receiver is on CNN since it seems to Autoroll the fastest on that channel.
