VS Ultras Beware
I am speaking to a VS Ultra owner right now who has loaded a "new bin" for his Ultra. His unit is dead now. From what I know there has been no file released for the Ultra yet. So be careful out there guys.

Re: VS Ultras Beware
Where did he get it? It couldn't have been a reputable place though. Don't the trusted sites get the BINs straight from the coders in some way?

Re: VS Ultras Beware
He got it from a well know site that has apparently been hacked. It's against the rules to post the site here though.

Re: VS Ultras Beware
From what you have just said sounds like he loaded the failfix file through his USB port ......... (that is the file that is being downloaded through that link .. even though it says . DOWN .. right beside .. ULTRA..) ........ what he needs to do is install the failfix file .. (I would re-download it from a reliable site) with his Null modem cable, then install the latest factory bin then the new bin file when it comes out ........... he will have to reset his dish settings and rescan also.

Re: VS Ultras Beware
How about a hint where he got it? or pm me please with info. I am new to all this and do not want to mess up anything. As of right now I do not belong to any site as I have only found 4 and don't know which are any good.

Heh...
It's almost as insulting as someone entering in a restaurant and asking to the customers (and the boss is not that far behind):
"Hey people... do you know a good reputable restaurant where I could find some food to eat?"
This guy cracks me up

Re: VS Ultras Beware
I really would like to do some comparisons before I lay out my hard earned money. I have not been having much luck with this fta stuff since bought my box. I just want the chance to be really sure this one is right for me.

Re: VS Ultras Beware
I saw the failfix bin on the other site and yes it says "Down" right beside it, if your new to this, it pays to spend a lot of time late nights reading when you can get all the info you need. This site is quite reliable and there are only one or two others that I have not had any problems with. One of the sites has apparently been hacked and they have a notice on the front page, but this hobby of ours requires a great deal of reading and a modicum of computer savvy and common sense. So folks late night reading is a must since you can get into the sites then, a ton of info is available

Re: VS Ultras Beware
There is no BIN out, if there is, now, then its probably a hoax. The "bin" that people thought were out is the failfix which won't get you back up.

Thanks for the info, yeah, I had the Fix for him pretty much the same time I made this warning post. I guess I should have said that.
