i just bought a new viewsat extreme can someone please tell me which loader to use and what file to download and from where and also whats the process to download the files is it similar to digiwave or pansat or different, please help
dhamindar, did you figure out what bin file and loader to use? I also had an old pansat clone which died when I used a bin that was not safe for clones. So I want to be careful with my new Viewsat Xtreme VS2000.
I found the Loader2 program, and in the tutorials there is a mention of the PGM file which I found also. What are the opkey hex, chaninfo and satinfo files? I've found some opkey hex files on dsstester but am not sure what file I need for an xtreme. I thought I would only need the bin (PGM file) -- what is the purpose of the other files?
sat and chan files are satellite and channel info files. Your xtreme already has an extensive satellite list so you don't need that. The channels will take care of themself after you scan. opkeys are out there.
ok guys, I just bought my veiw sat vs2000 xtreme, I got the bin files and loader2, everything is fine so far, but I do not know where to go and input the keys to see the channels, any help please!
shaheen...suggest U post in the Viewsat HOME site I posted above U...they have that info right there!..all U have to do is READ it..its all in plain site!
How Do You Update Keys? You can do it two ways: 1. Use a shortened LOAD & GO to load ONLY latest opkey file... see posts below for the currently active on dated Dec 6 445 pm (as of Dec 6, 2005)
2. use your REMOTE control... Below is a ficticious example when you already have the KEYs to update KEYS using your REMOTE CONTROL.
Have a Computer "opkey" File? Use the Modified "LOAD & GO" EASY SETUP Procedure Below: 1. D/L the latest opkey file (usually a zip) and UNzip; remember where the unzipped file is located on your computer. 2. Power "OFF" your ViewSat and hook up the NULL MODEM CABLE between your PC and your ViewSat 3. Open LOADER2, Click "Open Files" and navigate to the UNzipped "opkey.hex" file you wish to load 4. Click on "opkey.hex" file and click on "OPEN" to load that file into LOADER2 5. Click on the PC-->STB button and turn "ON" the ViewSat 6. The opkey.hex file will autoload into the ViewSat
WAIT between 15 seconds and 1 minute for the ViewSat to process the new opkey file, install the opkey file, do the housekeeping/cleanup of data necessary and then, the ViewSat will auto-REBOOT.
DO NOT TURN OFF THE VIEWSAT UNTIL IT HAS FINISHED REBOOTING!!!!
If you are connected to a TV, the picture will automatically come on.
If you are NOT connected to a TV, after you are sure the ViewSat has finished the processing/installing/rebooting, you may power "OFF" your ViewSat and connect it back to your TV.
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to do anything else to your ViewSat other than LOAD & GO the opkey.hex file... no rescanning, no Factory Default, no ANTENNA SETUP... the whole opkey loading and back to Tv should be about a 3 to 6 minute operation.
LK Thanks man, but I checked it out I could not find any, do I have to be a member to post, and my question was, where do I go into my romote and receiver to input the keys. I doan loaded the bin files and the loaders and I did channels scan, every thing is in order, but can not veiw any of the channels I have, I presume that the only thing missing is to input the keys eaxctly what I used to do with digiwave receiver. can I just trouble you with asking how do I keyin the keys. thanks man
To enter the letters: A = F1 (Red Button) B = F2 (Green Button) C = F3 (Orange Button) D = F4 (Blue Button) E = Go Back Button (Right side of remote, 6 buttons down) F = Text Button (or Color depending on remote. Right side of remote, 5 buttons up)
When you finish entering the keys, exit out of the screen. You will be prompted asking if you want to save (Yes). Exit back to where your channels are and enjoy.
Yes U must register at ALL true DSS sites...its always free...Ecoustics is NOT really a DSS site, it has sections for televisions,home audio, car stereo etc also..
Dsscommunity and Total fta are both very good Viewsat receiver sites..
LK sorry man, but when I go to my remote, installation, code which is 0000 I do not get to nagra, I get to 1 antena setup 2 channel scan. 3 parental control 4 time setting 5 receiver upgrade 6 factory defualt which one will lead me to nagra to be able to input the keys thanks
