Ok, I've been asked numerous times, how to "Fix" a Viewsat Ulta that displays ---- on the front panel. This usually is as the result of a bad upload or a power interruption during an upload.

Here for your reading pleasure, I've outlined the 'solution'.

First off you need to get the following things:

1) A copy of VSU Fail Fix
2) A copy of Loader2
3) Your serial (Null) cable that came with your unit.

This solution also assumes that your Receiver is UNABLE to read from /or recognize your USB stick.

Ok, here we go:

Install Loader2 on your PC then:

• Connect serial cable (NULL) to PC>STB
• Open up Loader of choice (PVR-Loader 1.1 or Loader2)
• Click on Tool>Configuration>Com port (Default is usualy com 1)
• Click on Open File
• Click on PC>STB (Notice the progression bar in loader)
• Turn the power in the back ON
• Wait for Loader say Completed. Then on box LCD front panel screen say I.N.S.T>END>0000 or until clock count to 0.001

IT IS VERRY IMPORTANT. DO NOT TURN THE POWER OFF TO SOON
• Turn the power OFF in front and power OFF in back
• After downloading the “BIN”, unhook NULL cable from PC>STB
• Connect all the cables to your box/TV
• Turn the power ON in the back and then front
• Press Menu key
• Select Installation and press OK
• Select Antenna Setup and press OK
• Select your Sat.
• Here if you have a DISEqC switch enter the port #, Motor or Legacy SW
• No LNB Type need to select (from new, you have only two selection Standard and Universal). STB will select your LNB Automatic
• Press Exit and select Yes for saving the settings
• Your back to Antenna Setup screen
• Here you have Three choices:
1. Channel Scan
2. Auto Scan
3. Blind Scan
• Select Auto Scan
• Press OK
• You are in the Auto Scan window and you see the Bird(Sat.) you selected and on the top of your screen are three options:
1. Search option
2. Network search
3. Scan Start
• You don’t change nothing here, go down and select Scan Start and press OK
• You do this for all the Birds (Sat.) you have
• Wait for Autoroll and then sit back relax and watch TV !

Hope this helps.

you need to double check setting in set up. Also tell us your settings and lnb typeand what sats you are aiming at. Someone here can help but will need this information.
