I have been using my viewsat xtreme for a few months now with no problems. I switched it for a few days with my captain 8000HD and when i went back to viewsat and put the new file (PFTAUSW-080301U) on i am having problems.

My signal and strength on my 91 and 82 are fine and it continuously says AUTOROLL PROCESSING but nothing happens. Is consantly autorolling and i dont know how to fix that and get a picture.

Thanks in advance

No wonder you had problems. You loaded a viewsat ultra fix into a viewsat extreme receiver. Always load the viewsat file with an 'x' at the end into a viewsat extreme. All you need do is load the correct file and you'll be ok. No need to do anything else

Sorry Gus How many dish you have? that what i went to said.
Change lnb type and see if you have better signal.
and change LNB freq 12224 for 12239
and if you have only one dish and one lnb you set
diseq Port 1 for "none"
Good luck

plymouth.......you have to unsderstand that settings are not a trial and error scenario.......if you have a dish pro LNB then LNB Type is OCS-DP......otherwise it should be standard.......also TP freq (not LNB freq) is 12239 for sat 119 (12224 for sat 110)........LNB freq is 11250....he was not losing no freqs.......be careful......

Plymouth..... I don't think Gus had problems with settings at all......if he has poor signal and no quality it should be dish aligment problem.....all I'm telling you is that I've seen you are helping a lot of people here......that's fine....but no everything is problems with settings and that you should be careful with settings.....each sat, LNB, system , has it's own settings......I don't think there's room for trial and error.....and I think you should use loader 2 for VS....I've seen that you are using PVR loader.....regards

should try to fine tune the antenna a bit.

btw, vs maybe down at this time, people are posting ultra are down, my xtreme and pro were up before 0900pst, they are down now as well.

but if you are able to lock on the sat and get good quality in, you should still able to scan the channels.

Jayson last week my box bust and off on off on by itself and i tried with :VSPRO Loader - (Firmware Updater ( Serial) )and work the chip is the same but the program is different. I know know each sat lnb has it's own settings.
Jayson i have 33" fortec dish, motor and invacom circular/liner lnb i know how set.
I think more complicated.
i accept your opinion
Bye i go to work now
