New member Username: OzairPost Number: 2 Registered: Jun-06 | LK, kindly tell me if I buy the Viewsat, will I need professional installation or can I simply replace my old receiver with it, n I will receive all channels? Also where do u suggest that we buy these receivers from. U said they r one of the best receivers in the market, do u still stand by that. Thanks in advance for your advice. |

New member Username: PakithegreatPost Number: 8 Registered: Jun-06 | They are one of the best recivers in the market, bu before buying them you should wait till this weekend, and see what happens. Expectations are that the fix for all recievers will be out by sunday |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 3091 Registered: Jan-06 | I have always supported Viewsat..along with Coo*sat and pansat,,,but NO longer will I ever support pansat! FTApalace is a reputable site to buy from..or globalwholesalers.biz |
|
Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 3092 Registered: Jan-06 | and U can simply replace your old receiver ...and READ the Viewsat setup manual.. |

Bronze Member Username: HybridfayMississauga, Ontario Canada Post Number: 46 Registered: May-06 | it means the only solution is to replace your receiver there will be no solution for present situation in near future |

New member Username: SlideripPost Number: 2 Registered: Jun-06 | LK ,, if you have to pick one reciever based on 1) Support 2) Quality of the product 3) may be long term survival Which one your would prefer? If DB then wich model. Just trying to tilt toward my next purchase. Many thanks |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 3100 Registered: Jan-06 | Viewsat Extreme...great prices $145...very fast processor... all the little whistles and bells that actually WORK.. and always had/has great support... www.globalwholesalers.biz or www.dishjockey.com Coo*lsat was the last to have a fix in the last ECM..and now the NORWood group has moved.. Pansat is just money hungrt NO support thieves.. Dreambox is expensive and not exceptionally user friendly for the average FTA user.. Rumor is CaptiveWorks will have the fix next...and Pansat will be 2 weeks or more... |

New member Username: SlideripPost Number: 3 Registered: Jun-06 | thanks,, your points are all well taken and make sense. DB 500 is selling for 225 at some places now. If playing with Linux was no big deal then DB would be first choice at 225? |

New member Username: Sdgodfrey8Post Number: 10 Registered: Jul-05 | What is the difference between a Viewsat platinum and Viewsat Extreme? other than the price. |
|
Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 3104 Registered: Jan-06 | NOT much..a few whistles and bells.. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ChessyPost Number: 14 Registered: Jan-06 | there remote sucks... |
|
Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 3108 Registered: Jan-06 | FYI....This cmd 7 ECM has been seen and logged in the data stream for the past 5 months as stated by a personal friend of mine who is a coder...Viewsat coders have posted that they started working on the crack for it, OVER 1 year ago!...This was NO easy nut to crack! Viewsat coders have stated, they are NOW going on vacation for a couple weeks and will not help anybody else until at least, when their vacation is over!....so I wouldn't expect to see too much too soon! |

New member Username: Y_tPost Number: 4 Registered: May-06 | guys, is it true that Viewsat is working? anybody have success story? becasue I download a file "DBPSW_060607A_XTREME" from dsstester. It freeze, cannot turn on receiver. Also I read there, it happening for some other people too. guys if you know the reason, could you please post that? |
|
New member Username: Bandulu_dehPost Number: 9 Registered: Feb-06 | my sister has a viewsat, it is working fine with the file you mentioned. all channels...very easy to setup also. |
|
New member Username: Y_tPost Number: 5 Registered: May-06 | I know it is easy. first I loaded on old bin, it freeze at the "End". Then I loaded factory bin then I loaded this file. I was same thing, It freeze again. it happening for some other people too, they poseted in dsstester. |
|
Silver Member Username: GrimreeperPost Number: 122 Registered: Feb-06 | out of all the recievers i have played with IMO the viewsat best great features and you cant beat the price or support the pansat and c oolsat are nice but suport leaves alot to be desired |

Bronze Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 13 Registered: Mar-06 | future-fta.com doesn't work? I need the latest file for Viewsat Platinum but people say it freezes from the dsstester. com website? I just need the international channels from Echo 9 121W back? Thanks |
|
Bronze Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 14 Registered: Mar-06 | .info works, what is the username and password? |

|
Bronze Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 15 Registered: Mar-06 | actually I just saw that it says coming back online in 30 minutes and then it prompts me for a username and password? Perhaps I should try back in 30 minutes? Also do you know if the international channels are back on DN? |

New member Username: LebrimalBridgeport, Ct Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | anyone know when the Capitve Works bin will be out, my D is out I m hanging in there with Bev without ppv. |
|
New member Username: CreekPost Number: 5 Registered: May-06 | Whatever you do, don't buy a Tristar receiver. There is only one website to get the bin files, and very little support. I wish my husband had done his homework. I would like to get a receiver that can be downloaded wirelessly. I don't like to screw and unscrew wires all the time. Is there such a thing? |
|
Bronze Member Username: DonniewPost Number: 11 Registered: Apr-06 | "I would like to get a receiver that can be downloaded wirelessly" No, but the newer revievers with SD cards (i.e. Pansat 3500) make life a LOT easier in that regard. Albeit Pansat is down at the moment. |
|
Bronze Member Username: DonniewPost Number: 12 Registered: Apr-06 | BTW I purchased the Viewsat 2000 Platinum as a gift for someone and am enjoying it very much at the moment (until I have to give it away). Very simlar feel to the Pansat 3500 that's currently sitting idle in my other room. Viva Viewsat! |
|
New member Username: Shahn2Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | LK Are you saying that chances to get a Cool*sat fix are pretty low and probably after a few other brands? Btw, thanks for your answers all over the forums. Very helpful to a noob like me. |
|
New member Username: M_shamsdinPost Number: 2 Registered: Mar-06 | LK what about DreamCox support? beside the price how do you compare it to Viewsat? |
