What happens when you try to load it?
Are you using the serial cable that came with the Box?
Are you hitting PC-STB on the loader and then turning on the receiver via backswitch?

[sarm 13]

zrqinit nothing sending i'm hitting PC-STB on the loader and then turning on the receiver via backswitch

Do you have the port setting on the loader2 set right?

[sarm 13]

yes i have the port setting on the loader2 set right is port 1

[mountaineer]

check the computer in device manager and confirm that the serial port on the computer is com 1

[sarm 13]

i checked the serial port on the computer is com 1 cz i used to flash my pansat

now can't flash viewsat

[carpenter1]

Is this a new Viewsat? and can you do a factory default when it's connected to the TV?
If this fails then you must have the wrong cable.

[sarm 13]

yes this a new Viewsat and did a factory default what do you mean i have the wrong cable.

do you mean RS-232 9 PIN ? I DO FEMAL 1

THANKS CARPENTER 1 FOR YOUR HELP

[carpenter1]

Yes the Viewsat takes a twited (null) serial cable and the Coolsat Pansat take a strait cable. They both look totally alike so you cant tell by looking at them. Here is a link just click on it.

i'm using the cable i used to flash a pansat 2500A

so do i need another cable as i understand

so null is the right 1 for viewsat

thanks a lot

[mountaineer]

2500 uses a straight through cable, the viewsat uses a null. You need a different cable.

[sarm 13]

tomorrow i'll buy a null 1 thanks for your help

so i've to get a null serial cable db 9 femal to femal

thanks again when i get it i'll tell you

Try this, When loading files you must open the loader program (loader1 or loader2, whichever you prefer) FIRST. Select the file to open using the open file button. Be sure that the file is already un-zipped and that the zmodem.dll file is in the same directory as the loader program. Click on PC>STB and turn on the power switch (or plugin the STB if no power switch is present) within 5 seconds. YOU should see the file being loader on PC and STB

Hi I used the loader before and work perfectly, but now I not what happen. I open the Loader open the file DBPSW-080104X, look the com port it used the correct and it's connect. I turn in in the back of the Viewsat Xtreme Box in the same time I selec the PC-STB and nothing happen. The Loader in the computer said it's sending and the box is nothing different, you can look the 0000 like normaly did when it's turn on. What happen??? SOMEBODY CAN HELP TO ME??? I knew the cable is no, because I had another box , Cooltec, and there the cable work perfectly.HELPPP!
