Okay, I realize practically everything is down and we're all awaiting a new bin file to be released, possibly sometime today. My question is, how does one download these things and utilize them? Usually we have a friend of the family do this for us, but he's about as reliable as the weather nowadays. I've seen him download this stuff to our receive from his laptop, but I don't know just what he uses to hook the said laptop up to the receiver to utilize the files.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a ViewStat receiver, if I'm not mistaken. Still no bin released, but I want to gear up for the release. Wondering what kind of hookup, program, whatever I need to download the bin and utilize it on my receiver.

No big deal its easy

Ok lets start with hardware

Do you have the cord that is used to connect the receiver to a computer? Does your computer have the correct port?

I'm not 100% but I want to say I have a Forte Lifetime Ultra, but I could be wrong. The actual receiver itself is a ViewStat 2000. God, this is so frustrating. I don't know what in the world I'm doing and the so-called family friend who usually helps us is MIA. Does anybody know what channels are actually working right now? Maybe I won't need this fix tonight after all.

Al,

Sorry I had some stuff I had to do.

You will have to be sure 100% what receiver you have before we can even start trying to help you.

Clue #1 What does the receiver look like? are their any markings on it like a name like viewsat platinum ?
