Updating the Sonicview 360 Premier using the Loader Program http://www.goodfta.com -- Good FTA Files -- All the time - This is a good tutorial to follow if you have no USB Flash drive, or you are having problems having your receiver recognizing it.
1) Download the Loader program here - http://www.goodfta.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1333 2) Download the most recent Bin file - http://www.goodfta.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3385 3) Download WINZIP here - http://www.goodfta.com/forum/showthread.php?t=665 4) Now, UNZIP the loader to your desktop 5) In the same directory you copied your LOADER to unzip the latest BIN file 6) Hook up via serial cable your Sonicview 360 Premier to your computer 7) Once your premier is hooked up to your computer click on STB/CONNECT 8) It will ask you to allocate a COM port, try COM 1, it will either say success or fail, if fail try COM 2, then Com 3, until it says, success 9) Then click on STB/Download file/Select file, load the most recent BIN File to your receiver (note, the bin file again should be in the same directory as the Loader Directory) 10) Bingo, you have now loaded the BIN file to your Receiver 11) Unplug the premier from your computer back to your TV 12) with the remote, select main menu, or press the little button directly to the LEFT of the BIG button beside your USB drive in the front. 13) Select Installation/Dish setting, press OK 14) You will see a large list, the only things you should change are Satellite, make sure LNB power is ON and DISEQ Port 15) select your first Satellite, usually its Echostar 7 or 8, select either of these 16) now select your DISEQ switch, put it on DISEQ Port 1 17) you should now see your signal and quality up to around 80% or higher, if this is the case, you have now setup your first satellite. 18) press the red button on your remote to SCAN your satellite, you should start seeing channels being scanned, if you dont't repeat process 15-18, but use DISEQ Port 2 Instead of 1 19) Once both your Satellites are configured, lets say echostar 7 on DISEQ Port 1 and Echostar 8 on DISEQ port 2, and both satellites are scanned turn to channel 200 (cnn) and let the keys roll.
This is the process that you should be doing, this is the exact step by step process to get your Sonicview 360 Premier or 360 ELITE to work if you do not have a USB FLASH drive.
