Question reguarding the VIEWSAT ULTRA
|
New member Username: Wade617Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-07 | I was thinking of moveing up fron the viewsat platnium to the viewsat ultra, but everything I read says you cannot put the keys in manually. I was wondering what the fail safe was incase the autoroller goes down. If anyone knows PLEASE SHARE THE INFORMATION. Thanks |

Silver Member Username: Ke5aqnShawnee, OK USA Post Number: 393 Registered: Sep-06 | I also am wondering as well what do you expect to get that you do not get from your receiver you have now? I have 3 for 3 diferant tv's so for that purpose it is understandable. I am going now to compare the features of both of those receivers to see what would be gained.. |

Silver Member Username: Ke5aqnShawnee, OK USA Post Number: 394 Registered: Sep-06 | So far All I see is mabee a faster processor and USB for updating...the faster processor is laughable as a upgrade....my platinum changes channels as fast as I can see cant imanage any faster it would have to do it before I pushed the button to be faster......the USB for upgrade thats about the same realy now, that would work easer for some new computers we have here on the forum about once a week a user with no serial port on their computer that would solve that. So in closing buying a Ultra to "upgrade" from a platinum is not much of a upgrade. For a second receiver for your bedroom for example now thats a GREAT idea! |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 1484 Registered: Oct-05 | Jay - Thanks for posting the instructions I didn't have time to go look for them earlier. I also see you agree with the upgrade point I made. Personally I always buy new receivers just to test them out, but that's just me. As far as upgrading, next time I do will be for HighDef... |
