Re: creative genius i need some info
Did you buy the unit as new from a Dealer?
If so, report him to Viewsat. There is a reward if i recall rightly

Re: creative genius i need some info
I found what I was looking for, its a Viewsat Ultra Clone converter, I knew I had seen something, just had to find it in my archives  Its a combination of a small hardware mod and tweaks via software.
Its a bit technical, but not too intense, so I'd suggest perhaps that you get someone like a computer tech type guy/gal to help you. Just to be safe/sure.
I'll send it to you via PM and then have the files put on the system here.

Re: creative genius i need some info
Do not keep the clone regardless of advice. Get your money back, no other choice to be taken.

Re: creative genius i need some info
$250 for a clone? Ouch!
I got mine for $180 (including S&H) Do as Basscat said, return it and get a real one from a real dealer.

Wow...$250 is nuts real or clone....you must have the greatest Viewsat Ultra in the world...Does it turn into a transformer when an ecm hits it ? I would go back to the guy and get your cash back bro. Buy yourself a CW 600p for $100. I seen the Ultra selling at $149 in canada in certain computer stores.

Re: creative genius i need some info
So, lets get this straight you bought your clone form a private guy who sells Junk, the guy you bought your clone from bought a CaptiveWorks for 130$, is that right?
So what have you decided to do with your clone ... if you bought it from a Store, I'll call Viewsat and let them know. Who knows they might even give you a deal on a legit model.
Man that crap pisses me off.
