VS quirks and solutions: Duplicate channels, freezing, missing channels, etc...

C/P

All STB's have quirks.

Viewsats work great if you know thier quirks:

Here are some quirks and solutions:

Turn off "auto TP" beofre scanning or editing channels

Do not use blindscan feature on Charlie or Bev Sat's

If you use DP34, make sure that you have a Charlie, Bev ,Coolsat, or other more powerful receiver connected to power the switch, or you may not get signal or quality.

After factory reset, you need to reset your dish settings and time.

Viewsats do not work well with channel list. scan is the best way to make sure your receiver gets all channels without problems.

If your receiver is rebooting itself it is normally a problem with channel database. do a factory reset, setup dish/lnb setting and rescan.

If you are having a lot of problems, do factory reset Load latest factory bin, then latest working bin, shut off auto tp, rescan, let keys roll, watch tv.

New bins have new sat files. no need to duplicate.

Opkey's will add the newest keys to your VS and eliminate the 5 min it may take to autoroll for the first time.

If you cannot fix your VS, clone another working VS and it should repair your system.

If you load plat file to xtreme or xtreme to plat you will get black and while and messed up picture. Load factory bin, then working bin to correct.

Loader2 is the most current loader

Good luck!
