Viewsat 5 min's

[udntcme]

Ahh....Nice to have all the DN channel's again. Took literally five min's to set up the only thing that is kind of a hastle is deleting "All" the extra channels you mite not want and there is a lot of them...LOL....But as I get better at creating "My own" select channel list this will provide something to do hehehe.

Let me know how it works out...I'm considering a Viewsat Platinum to replace my Fortec. Thanks.

I just bought one and its on the way. Was going to do a Spacestar, but the dealer got crappy with me, so I went with the viewsat instead. Glad to hear it was an easy setup, should only take me a week LOL.

You will be fine!

Its all about testing Ya

hehe

[udntcme]

I'm still "the noob" with fta but this thing has ,"ZOOM" you just use "up-down", "Left right" to position zoom angle and hit f4 and ZZZoooommmmm,... and there is a "pause" button to stop action....there is 4,6,and I think 9, different channel frames you can fill the screen with .I tell ya this thing is wicked...!!! I consider the picture quality to be outstanding...! I'm hopeing the promises about "Auotroll" and "Blindscan" will be the real deal...I have no reason to believe otherwise...All the best .

1. Unzip the files in a Viewsat folder
2.Click on the program "Loader2"
3.Click "Open Files"
4.Go to the directory where you saved the files and elect "V69.PGM"
*(This file name will Change with new versions. Just make sure its the .PGM file)
5.Click Pc->STB then Plug In your Viewsat power.
(You should see the Files loading properly)
6.Once it is completed, The program will say its done. Now wait for the Viewsat to say "End" on the front display then "0000".
7.Power off your Viewsat.
8.Connect your ViewSat to your TV, and Enjoy.
9.Read Your User Manual.

** If you still get no picture, Check your port settings for the switch, and make sure your using the current version of the files.

***Once you have done this, you will only need to load a new .PGM and .hex Fiile The next time the Keys change, or there is a Firmware Update.

Try these settings and see if they work.
