Ok, I've been asked numerous times, how to "Fix" a Viewsat Receiver 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.
