HOWTO Load Your SonySat DSR 4000, SpaceStar 500/700, and UltraStar 4000/5000

First off some warnings:

This HOWTO is only for the SonySat DSR4000, SonySat 500/700, and UltraStar 4000/5000. It is NOT for the DSR5000.

Under no circumstances use the Azrael or 2k232 loaders to load the SilverSurfer to your receiver - it will damage your receiver.

Do NOT load the Juggernaut bin to your SonySat DSR 4000 (and compatible) receiver. ONLY the SilverSurfer is compatible with this receiver.

Step 1. You will need a null modem RS-232 cable. This is the exact same cable used to program the ViewSat, Pansat, Ariza, and Fortec Recievers. Connect the Rs-232 Cable between the Spacestar/SonySat and your computer.

Step 2. Download and install the the SonySat Loader V2.0 from Dvbspider's Download Section eSnips Folder. Inside this zip file is a setup.exe that will install the loader on your computer.

Step 3. Open the loader (the Spider Icon on your Desktop), and choose "Select Bin", in the file selection dialog choose the xbin file you downloaded and unzipped from Dvbspider's Download Section eSnips Folder.

Step 4. Verify that the com port is correct (it will default to the first available com port on your system.

Step 5. If you have never loaded a SilverSurfer bin choose "Load with Data", if this is your 2nd or 3rd time using the loader choose "Load". The difference between the two is "Load with Data" will factory default your unit while it loads, and update the built in Sattelite List.

Step 6. You will have a scrolling progress bar in the loader. When completed the loader will prompt you to unplug and replug your unit. Do not unplug/replug until directed to by the loader.

Step 7. If you see "NOPR" on the front of your receiver after replugging it means your receiver has no setup sattelites or channels. Connect your receiver to the TV and sattelite feeds - and scan your channels.

If you've ever loaded and setup and FTA receiver before - this is VERY similiar to other makes and models.
