Cool Re: Step By Step Flashing Instructions For Ultra

Hello Grasshopper

I just got a VS Ultra and I am trying to setup but after reading the manual and this post here I still cannot get the Ultra to accept the .pgm file. This is a brand new receiver directly from factory. I know I am doing something wrong cause several prople have noted how easy it was to fix theire using the same step-by-step that u posted. Please tell me what files I need to download and in which order. I am setting up thru 232 cable.

Tks

Re: Step By Step Flashing Instructions For Ultra

Hello Barry 15

tks for ur quick reply. I just got the receiver and did not know about the USB until I got home and started reading. I will get a usb stick but I am trying to setup now with cable. Yes I did unzipp the file. Seeing that this is a new receiver ( never programmed before) do I need to load firmware 131 before the .pgm file.

Tks

Re: Step By Step Flashing Instructions For Ultra

Hello CDO

I tried loading the 131 fileusing the PVR Loader but the receiver did not accept it. The progression bar did not move. Incidently the receiver showing noCH all the time. Does this mean anything. It came that way when I bought it.

Re: Step By Step Flashing Instructions For Ultra

I transfered the latest BIN file to my USB. Went to my receiver and hit menu, receiver upgrade and USB. Downloaded the file and then did a blind channel search. Saved the channels and hit exit. When I hit guide all of the channels are still locked....am I missing something?????

You Know, seens i have my VS ultra, i did not use loader. Use your USB buddy: just follow this: In the Remote press MENU:

1]system information>>Receiver upgrade> press OK> USB>press OK>highlight the factory bin V131 then press OK. Then wait until it is finish reboot.
And load the latest BIN. The same process USB.
