Although I do not own a Viewsat myself nor do I recommend loading 3rd party software on one, it is my understanding that the only way to erase all evidence of third party software on an FTA box is by Jtagging it. It is also my understanding that this is not possible with a VS.

Feel free to correct me if I am misinformed on this issue.
100% correct on everything!
