Can somebody please tell me how i can put the new bin on my VS Extreme, i was sold a clone thinking it was real at the time i didnt know, The boot fix wont work for mecuz i dont have conexiant processer, HOW CAN I GET MY VS CLONE WORKING?? The bin wont send using loader 2 and i have the proper null cable
does it have an up and down on /off switch or side ways ... is there 2 or 4 screws on the side.. thses are some things to look for ... a clone has 4 screws and switch is side ways!ther are more things to look for maybe Lk can tell you more of them . hope this helps
Shivas...If U know its a clone, then U are SOL..and must wait till coders make "viewsat clone safe bins" which may never happen..sorry bud..U might want to go to [link removed] site...they specialize in various clones..
oh one more thing .... sometimes it helps the reload the factory bin on a viewsat .. i had to that with the new fix today and then load the new bin fix.. but make sure the reciever is off ... flip the back switch on after you push PC to STB
because of all the people having problems setting up the viewsat box i have made a how to list here you go================================================ =============== ============ HOW TO LIST ===============
1-click on loader2 open file 2-double click on the new auto roll bin 3-then click on pc->stb 4- turn on viewsat from the back and wait till it's done.. then shut it off from back 5-unhook from computer and hook up to tv 6-turn it back on from the back 7-then hit menu and antenna set up 8-set you dish to you dish switch settings 9- then hit f1 to scan sat's 10-wait till done then exit to your tv screen and leave it untill it rolls..thats it. enjoy it may take up to 5 to 10 min. to roll
you do not need to download the op-keys as it will do it on it's own...

I would be happy to test out this file, however, I am currently not a VIP member. I have a VS Extreme Clone that has the 2052IC Chip. I understand that you have not manufactured any stbs with this chip but I was looking through the forums to see if this chip will be supported before I bought my VIP membership, and got some conflicting info I hope you can clear up.
I read in one post that you were going to take the high road on this one and will develop a solution for this chip.
I then read another post that stated anyone with this chip is SOL and no support will be provided.
I was just hoping to get this cleared up as to whether there would be support for this chip or not, before I pay for a VIP status.
Thanks

What is to clear up? Wang release some test .hex files earlier. Some work with the 2052IC Chip and some do not. They are tests. He is continuing to develop a solution for the 2052IC owners even though WE do not manf a unit with that chip. So far.
Further to the news about the 2052IC owners being SOL.
That is true. We contacted the plant where those units where being manf. Apparently not enough of them were purchased to warrant support. It has NOTHING to do with us.. other than we offered to help EVERYONE out on this issue. Hopefully putting 2052IC Owners minds at ease. Maybe we can and maybe we can't. At least we are going to try. Better than what is happening now. In fact it seems no one else has the resources or desire to take this to task! Not like they care anyway..
I really have a hard time with some of the posts on here. This guy wants to know if it's 'legal' to sell the clone... he's upset because he's unable to use it for illegal purposes... Hilarious! And not just him, most of these people who've gotten 100 times more TV for their dollar than if they had paid for a sub want to cry about how they've been cheated by Pansat! Like they're victims! Maybe they need to file a class action lawsuit! I'd love to see it in court.... I'll be the guy in the back in tears everytime they talk about how they were robbed! I've seen similar on cops when a crack ho called the cops cause she got ripped off on a $20 drug deal. Some of these posters have the same mentality, or lack of it. V
Shivas,,,typo error above...ALL Viewsat Clones are NOT the same!
Vlad..I agree with U...like I said in another post and thread...its like robbing the bank, but being pissed cause they gave U too many $1 and $5 dollar bills!
Had the seller IMPLIED or stated that the clone was GENUINE, I would be pissed and I would have gone back, and he would have gave me a refund or suffered the consequences (one way or another)...and had Shivas not mentioned that he was trying to hack DN (putting a new bin in receiver) then I could defend his post about "legality", since FTA receivers which are UNMODIFIED are perfectly legal...BUT someone who is committing an illegal act himself who is questioning the legal actions of others is a bit hard to swallow without a chuckle..
NOT TRUE!...FTA receiver sales are legal and receivers are usually covered with a 1 year warranty against defects!
The Viewsat comes with a 1 year warranty. Please note that the customer may be liable for the shipping cost related to the repair or replacement of any unit.

LK: The original post indicated that he already attempted to download the altered bin. If possible, if he can somehow reload the factory bin, he may have a shot at getting the other VS or a refund. If not, I doubt that VS will do anything for him once they confirm that he tried to tweek the box.
I never said Viewsat will help him..OF Course they won't!...he admits he bought a CLONE!...I was just correcting your statement that this is illegal and all sales are final and there are NO warranties..Statements like that mislead people ..
My Viewsat warranty info was intended for U , not shivas who has a clone...I was showing U how your statement was INCORRECT!...U need to be a little more careful and specific when posting..
LK: It's obvious, people on this forum or any other forum do not buy FTA receivers with legal intentions. As soon as they get that sucker out of the box, bins are altered. I assumed you knew what I was referring to.
