What .pgm file/version are you using? Are you using a channel list?

if you read all i said was turn it off to delete channels it will stop the locking up of the reciever.. it is a know problem once you have deleted the channels you want go back to options and turn auto tp back on ..

thanks bud

Seem to be happening with VS with new bin turn auto TP OFF when deleting channels Make sure to turn it ON after deleting.

Ok, sorry. I didn't know that. I will rememeber to turn off auto tp if I delete channels.

I've had my VS for a week and a half and it's been great from day 1. I'm a Pansat defector but I am enjoying my VS experience so far. I had mine up and running in 20 minutes and I haven't had to do anything else since. Just flashed the factory bin then the ES bin (pgm), selected sats in installation and waited for the keys to come down. I love it.

What's the difference between VS and Sonicview? Is one better than the other or are they the same?

**tomcat01** · September 5th, 2006

to be honest I don't know but from what i have heard they are a part of viewsat that is why they have a cardless fix i havent tested one yet but I am trying to get a free test machine from viewsat

also I want to try the new pvr 7000

check around maybe someone has some pics of one or try your sat dealer ask him to turn one on for ya ... I am in winnipeg canada and we can't get them here well not yet anyways..

Yeah, I want a PVR 7000 too. I wonder if you could swap out the hard drive for a larger one? You would need the s/w to format it so the PVR will see it though.

**tomcat01** · September 5th, 2006

the pvr can take the 350 gig and it has the option in the pvr to format ..
just too bad it is ide instead of sata II 300 mbps ..

I know, I was feeling like a thread pirate by starting this with u. Sorry bro... I will PM you. When you getting your PVR?

What are the difference between. Viewsat & SonicView.

About $ 10.00 its only a joke

SonicView does do 7 days EPG thanks to its 32MB of internal RAM (16MB on the VS)

There is big difference between the way the bins are organized between the SonicView & ViewSat.GUI (GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE) is in the ViewSat bin but not in the Sonicview bin.
