I have a super dish , so while using the super dish can i still use my coolsat 5000 or 6000 series to get the FTA channels, the person who installs the dish setup for 110, 118 Y& 119 , and there is no 61.5 for asian channels ., so can you update if its going to work on that or not.. also can you tell me if the cool sat 5000 series and 6000 afre working or not... regards]

Hi grasshopper. I'm sorry I'm still confused about "keys" and "bin files". I just purchased Sonicview SV4000 and am setting it up. Now going back to "keys" and "bin".
1) Are "keys" the same for all brands of FTA's? 2) Do I need to enter these key's to my new SV4000? 3) Do I need them both if the channels are scrambled periodically by sat providers? 4) Which one I need to watch for? I've been trying to set this up for about 1 week now but not smoothly like it keeps displaying "please wait for update" every time I change channels. Pardon me if I sound very desperate, but I am, because I thought that it is just plug and watch.
I've been doing a lot of "search" here but it is long long and almost like endless process.
My setup: 2 dishes ( 1 for 110W and 1 for 119W) with DP dual LNB's all cables connected to a powered SW64. So how do I set the settings in the SV4000?
Thank you very much.

Hi everyone, I have a digivawe7000, I was wondering if I could still enter new keys in this old receiver and watch Vu channels? And where can I get them as my keys are set of 32 digits and letters (not 64).

check6ok · May 12th, 2008

Re: changing keys on Viewsat Plat. Lt
Do I have to turn it off and then on or dissconect it from plug or dish. Do I need to put in the line that says new or both of them. How long does it take to come on. How do I know that the keys are inserted and working. and im not waiting for nothing. Please help.

Okay. I'm looking to purchase the equipment necessary to use keys - the equipment should be the easiest to set up, use, upload to, etc. I have an "old" Sony 36" XBR which has component HD and DVI connections and I have a regular TV.

I have a 2m ChannelMaster dish I was using for DN until I ran 'em off for jackin' prices all the time, so I guess it's aimed properly. Two cables run to the house from a DSS LNB, BSNA5-218A to a Microyal model 3104, 4-way satellite multi switch then to the TV's. If any of this equipment needs to be tossed, fine.

What should I buy?

jellyb · May 19th, 2008

I should also mention, perhaps, that I have a Windows XP PC driving the Sony TV with component HD from Blu-ray disks and downloads. Put some hot tamale video card in it and it rocks, although in 16:9 mode only (set is a beautiful 4:3 unit).

Thanks

**chico090** · January 4th, 2009

hey i have got a ariza700 and would like for you to tell me how to put in the stamodell num and to load the bin thanks

daniel_evans · January 21st, 2009

So Grasshopper, from your explaination of how the systems work, I must switch from a DirectV Dish to a Dish Network Dish. Correct? But isn't the code in the receiver box w/ the Card and not the dish? If I run the coax from the DirectV dish straight to the Sonicview SV-360 Elite PVR Box, shouldn't it be able to receive channels? It does show signal strength on multiple satellites. Yes, it's my 1st night of trying to hook up the system. I would appreciate any & all help. Thank you.

BTW...I gave U the simple version..its is a failry simple process, but many and any little small detail, can cause problems..but its NOT a rocket science for the "end user" and FTA owner...MUCH initial reading and continous weekly reading is required as new keys and bins are frequent...IMO, the hardest part is aiming/aligning the dish and running the cables to the receiver..

I am new, and still learning. what is the difference between "Keys" and "bin files"? And, where do I find each of these? I have a new, not set up yet...(but working on it. Just want to make sure I don't make any mistakes, because the instruction manual that came with it is poorly written and lots of errors.LOL)....Sonicview SV360 Premier.
Your information has already helped me with other items, and I do appreciate it.
