hello, i have a few questions about a sonicview 4000 set up. i have a friend who has a FTA reciever. im not sure what brand it is but sonicview and viewsat ring a bell...i think its sonic view. he has a FTA reciever and a dish500 dish and is getting echostar 110 and 119 free. all payperview and all channels are unlocked. he wont tell me how he has done it tho. he says that you have to hook it up to the computer and "flash" it. by this i take it he means put a file on it via the flash stick usb hook up in front right? anyway this is the set up im looking at...

Sonicview 4000 and Viewsat are similar machines. Both have excellent support and both are upgraded using a usb stick. I recommend either and should you decide on Sonicview send me a PM and I will send you pertinent info regarding files and loading.

The loader 2 is for the VS extreme and that pgm is also a way old one for xtreme
For ultra you need to get the ultra loader, v1.1 I think and the latest pgm, it ends in 070304U
Also you shouldn't put live links here to other places that sell stuff, this is mili's site where he sells his stuff lol
