Step By Step Flashing Instructions For Ultra

[electriczipper]

Update: It seems that the key to doing this with Macs is having the the right osx, usb2, and a windows formated usb2 flash drive. NeoOffice has proven to be unnecessary (for me anyway).

I downloaded the lastest Bin files 080226. Loaded the bin on my usb key and put the kee in the Ultra the way I've done many times before. Used the menu to update from USB and the receiver went part way through the process. It hung up in the last stage before restarting. After five minutes I tried clicking every button on the remote with no effect. Finally turned the unit off with the switch at the back. Now I get nothing from the receiver. Any suggestions how to reset the unit?

I was using my usb stick installing the new codes and it turned my untra off and all I get now is ---- when I turn the ultra on. Nothing works just the four dashes. Help

I download the pgm files for my viewsat ultra. The ultra didn't restart after several minutes. I then shut it off. Now when I turn it back on, I only see 4 dashes.
How do I reset the ultra?
