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!

Good info Carp, but I noticed that when you do just a sat scan,some TP are missing, then you have to add then manualy,or to do a blind one.I have this experience with the extreme.

I have a channel list on channel master were i eliminate what i dont want to see. After a satelite scan i put back the same list. It's work with the same list with my pansat or viewsat. Actualy pansat is down. But when i scan with the viewsat i have less channel. When after i put my channel list, the other channels are there, not duplicate. I never understand but i dont mind. I have plenty of channel that i dont even look. It's only 24 hours in a day and i spend some reading on this site.

I have noticed that the Extreme has some issues with the Bin have you tried the 2051 factory file and the default sat file?

You can do that directly through the box in the menu guide under Edit Channels. You can lock, delete, rename and so on, there is a channel edit tool in general downloads in Viewsat section that Viewsat recommends.
