|
Silver Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 634 Registered: Oct-07 | www.lyngs*at.com check your freq for channel and do a advance scan |
|
Bronze Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 92 Registered: Oct-07 | ^ Yes I have VS Pro too and I had to do the Manual setup by adding the Missing TP and then rescanning that particular TP. Actually lyngsat doesn't have the Correct TP information for ZEE TV USA for example. IIf some one has correct TP information for that then post it here for him. |

Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 15 Registered: Nov-07 | OK - I found out the freq of one of the channels I am missing is 12384, tp 12 on 61.5 I did a blind scan it did not find anything on this freq. any ideas? I'm not sure why I have to go thru these extra steps since my cooolsat works just fine.. |

Bronze Member Username: SlideripPost Number: 20 Registered: Jun-06 | Do you have D Pro type LNB? if not then do factory default, setup echo 3, under Legacy make it Legacy Twin and rescan it. May solve your problem. In any case do regular scan, if u get less than 120 channels then save this, and rescan one more time,, sometime u have to scan 3 times like this  VS Pro has some buggggggggs , not very good with switches and older LNB's |
|
Bronze Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 93 Registered: Oct-07 | pjx Because ViewSat Pro is a New Receiver and they didn't update the SAT file thats comes with it and there is no new sat file available for Viewsat Pro at this time. This site has latest tP information ... |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1800 Registered: Sep-06 | PJX, You said you did all the steps did you go get the sat file? ZeeSA ZEE TV USA is on 119 transponder 12516. Watching some Cricket game on it now...Hyberabad vs Chennai highlights |

Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 16 Registered: Nov-07 | When you say "sat file" - you are referring to the new "fix" correct? Or is "sat file" separate from the stb file. |
|
Bronze Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 94 Registered: Oct-07 | There is no SAT File available for VS Pro. Sat files work with VS Ultra Extreme etc. You have to manually enter TP. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 17 Registered: Nov-07 | Anyone know how I can manually enter TPs? I know which channels and which TP # they are on from using this website: |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1822 Registered: Sep-06 | I am sorry i do not have a list of the transponder's frequency compared to the DN Numbering system I would like to find that though. You will just for now go to lgnsat and make sure you have all the transponders listed for each sat. |
|
Bronze Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 95 Registered: Oct-07 | (1) Go to the Menu Option Edit TP list. It is one of the Options in the Menu (2) When you get the TP Listing on the screen you will seee at the button to press to add a New TP. (3) Enter the Requested Frequency and Horizintal or Vetrical polarization using th remote. This info is at the TP listing websites. (4) When you try to exit the receiver will ask you to save the list. (5) Now go to Scanning New Channels and Select Manual rather then Automatic. (6) Once you select Manual you will be able to select the newly added TP from the List of TPs to scan. (7) Use Scan not Blind scan and you are all set. |
|
Bronze Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 96 Registered: Oct-07 | Bye the Way in the TP List to Select Nimiq, Dish or any other sat you have to press the info button to select the request sat so that the TP list contains TP from that Sat. |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1824 Registered: Sep-06 | I have a question..does that receiver still have a blind scan option? |
|
Bronze Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 98 Registered: Oct-07 | Yes It does have a Blind Scan Option .... |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 18 Registered: Nov-07 | OK - out of the 3 links given above, only 1 of them has the actual TP detailed info: So - I am not sure exactly where to find the new TP information ?? |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1826 Registered: Sep-06 | Sure wish we had it back on the Plat...anyway this users answer in right their then just blind scan the sat. |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1827 Registered: Sep-06 | PJX Just blind scan the sat the receiver will find all the transponders you can receive that way..... what channel is it you are missing? TP info for 61.5 http://www.l*yngsat.com/echo3.html |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 19 Registered: Nov-07 | FYI I am missing these channels and a few more: 612 SET Max 18 613 TV Asia 18 614 Sony Entertainment Television Asia 18 623 Zee Gujarati 12, 25 624 Sahara One 12, 25 |

Bronze Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 99 Registered: Oct-07 | Hi Pjx According to the link I gave you ( 12414 L Tp 14 DP=13187 R SR=20000 TID=214 |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1830 Registered: Sep-06 | factory reset, adjust antenna settings, blind scan each sat you can receive, watch tv  |
|
Bronze Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 100 Registered: Oct-07 | Ok yes 624 information is not there. I have to look at my receiver to get the info. Lygset has wrong TP information about those channel. I remember while setting my box. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 21 Registered: Nov-07 | FTA TESTER - I have tried to do the BLIND SCAN on only the 61.5 sat. It scanned 83 TPs and found 0 channels. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 22 Registered: Nov-07 | I just did a factory reset. Will add the 3 sats. Run blind scan on ALL sats. Will post back with results. |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1833 Registered: Sep-06 | then you have a antenna setting wrong. or your motor moved This is why I strongly suggest each person updating a viewsat do THIS every time. |
|
Silver Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 102 Registered: Oct-07 | 1 More thing for some Reason the Channel Search Option in my VS Pro doesn't work. I have to go to Antenna Setting and you can go to Channel Search screen from there by pressing the Red Button on remote. When I do that then the receiver can do proper scan and bring the channels. You might want to try that. |

Bronze Member Username: SlideripPost Number: 22 Registered: Jun-06 | pjx What type of LNB you have? Any switches? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 23 Registered: Nov-07 | Tony - I have a DP34 switch. I have 2 Sats on the roof - one for locals, one for internationals. I have DISH PRO Twin LNB for 119/110 sat. Legacy (radio shack brand) Twin LNB for 61.5 sat. |
|
Bronze Member Username: SlideripPost Number: 23 Registered: Jun-06 | DP34 only works with Disp Pro type LNBs, i think u have two options Replace DP34 with Disq switch Replace Legacy Twin with DP type LNB |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 24 Registered: Nov-07 | Tony - The DP34 has been working for over 1 year with my cooolsat with exact same setup. In fact, right now, I am watching my cooolsat 5k as I type and I'm gettin all channels 61.5+110+119. I am only having this problem with viewsat pro... I'm very surprised as I thought this would be a good receiver...but so far, it's pretty feeble. One thing I noticed about viewsat pro TPs is that they don't seem to match.. ie. TP4 is showing 12384 mhz in viewsat...whereas..the website is showing 12384 mhz to be TP 12. I'm now pretty sure this is due to error in sat config of vs pro. |
|
Bronze Member Username: RatiraoPost Number: 17 Registered: Nov-07 | install the default factory bin from viewsatusa.com install the new sat file from viewsatusa.com install the new bin from totalfta.com delete existing channel lists reset antenna configuation auto scan all the sats It should work. the problem is this. i did all of this still i don't get my 118.8 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 25 Registered: Nov-07 | There is no Sat File for Viewsat PRO. The sat file does not work on PVR models. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 26 Registered: Nov-07 | UPDATE: I did a factory reset. I setup the sats, time etc. Ran Blind Scan on only 61.5. While scanning, it stopped at 80/83 and pop up msg came..do you want to save? Why did it not reach 83/83 ? so weird. Also, after Blind Scan... I am still missing channels. I am getting other channels on 61.5 that I was already getting...but still missing 612,613,614,623,624. im ready to return this thing..such a pain |
|
Bronze Member Username: SlideripPost Number: 24 Registered: Jun-06 | i doubt VS Pro will work with your current setup, VS Ultra may work. I think u need to change LNB to make it work with with VS Pro |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 27 Registered: Nov-07 | Does anyone know how to load a sat file for VS PRO using the loader 1.0 ? I tried uploading a standard sat file I found and I get the error msg "the file is unacceptable" I think loading this sat file may help fix my problem. |
|
Silver Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 106 Registered: Oct-07 | pjx already told you man there is no SAT File for VS Pro but you keep on insisting. Find one and let us know too ... |
|
Bronze Member Username: Reach_honeyPost Number: 77 Registered: Mar-05 | There are Sat files for PVR700,Ultra and XTREME for Viewsat. I don't know how to Upload file here. But PM me and sent me your email I can sent you one. BTW I'm still having issue like you with those international channels. |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 5859 Registered: Jun-06 | "..but still missing 612,613,614,623,624. " In a Blind or Power scan on some receivers and software, you would get these channels as TV 612,TV 613,TV 614,TV 623,TV 624 i.e TV 612 which should show up as SETMX, TV 613 as TVASA and TV 614 as SET, do not and you have to rename them. Just do a alphabetic sort and look under TV.. |

Silver Member Username: AddtempPost Number: 111 Registered: Oct-07 | reach HONEy Have you read his POST he HAs Viewsat PRO ...Show me How to download your Sat file to Viewsat Pro ... |
|
New member Username: DashPost Number: 8 Registered: Dec-07 | if any channels are missing at VIEWSAT Select LNB "Standard" and then scan TP manualy |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1872 Registered: Sep-06 | NASH, That works at your receiver with your LNB if they do not have a LNB like yours it will make it lose even more Main thing is make sure you have every transponder then scan THEN make a backup of your channels list from your receiver to your computer.and a note of all settings..so you will not go through this ever again |

New member Username: Cartier_jaquePost Number: 2 Registered: Dec-07 | I warned people about buying the pro |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 28 Registered: Nov-07 | OK - well, according to a moderator at FTAVIEW... there is a sat file that is supposed to work on all viewsat models...however..it seems that this is false. [link removed] Anyway, I'm just very disappointed that I have to go thru all this to get channels that work perfectly fine on my cooolsat 5k - which is 2 yrs old and works better than VS PRO...so sick! I'd expect viewsat to have made a better product. I guess at this point, there is nothing I can do but re-select LNB, re-scan bla bla bla I'll keep trying...but I have a feeling it won't work until viewsat comes out with a SAT FILE for VS PRO. |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1919 Registered: Sep-06 | viewsat pro files "hidden" at total in the section for that receiver I spent about 2 min looking.......always start at total a channel list a channel list And the best for last Scoooter's VS PVR Sat File Always go the home for your receiver total |

Bronze Member Username: JoeturnPost Number: 81 Registered: Apr-06 | you cant depend on a certain transponder to have what your looking for! One dma might be on a different transponder than your friends out of state! They swap transponders on occassion anyway ! The best way is to blind/power scan everything that way you will get all the active transponders for your DMA! Updating the EPG often will help!! |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1930 Registered: Sep-06 | hi mr JoeDirt please read the entire thread then add only if you are sure you are correct. He is looking for a sat file. We are trying to help him find one. I pointed him to several. We have already suggested and he has stated he has done a blind scan. You are wrong about the transponders they are the same no matter what your location is. The difference is the spot beam channels that are broadcast on the spotbeam transponders. The frequency's of the the transponders are however the same. That is why we strongly advise to get a satfile and then scan using that satfile. With the # of receiver out their losing the Blind scan feature this is how you fix that problem. updating the EPG would be of no help whatsoever in his quest for a satfile. |
|
Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 5890 Registered: Jun-06 | pjx: The TP you mentioned has a propensity not to come in easily even on blind scan. On many receivers the channels 612 onwards come in with the names TV 612, etc. I did inform you about it. Did you look for them under TV nnn? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 29 Registered: Nov-07 | Nalin - I looked through the entire guide for TV 612 etc. All channels in my EPG start with a number..none of them start with TV or any letter. Thanks |

New member Username: DashPost Number: 10 Registered: Dec-07 | pjx, as I said before if any channels are missing at VIEWSAT Select LNB "Standard" and then scan TP manualy |

Bronze Member Username: Pj94zPost Number: 33 Registered: Nov-07 | Problem Fixed !! I downloaded the new bin for VS PRO and I then ran an auto-scan on 61.5 bird. Guess what... it actually scanned 42/42 instead of stopping at 40/42 like it did before. Anyway, I am now getting the channels I was missing before the update! The coders must've changed some coding to make this work Thanks to all for offering help - this seems to be a very helpful forum ! ps. of course...now internationals are down so none of the channels work...how ironic!
