I have a huge problem with my satellite My ViewSat Xtreme was workin fine.I went to menu and then hit the factory default button by mistake Now my satellite wont turn on, it says 'on' on the box but no channel is showing or anything. It isnt turning on and i cant even go to menu meaning it is totally dead. I heard somewhere that Im supposed to download new factory bins but i dont know how to do that.
rescan go to menu and then to installation then to antenna setup and scan your channels press f1 to scan make sure u scan the right sat #1 should be 119 and #2 should be 110 do one by one . if this don't help u can look around it's posted some where in these forums
actually i found out... my uncls a computer guy.. and i asked him and he told me ur suppose to buy a serial cable then download some file which hes going to send me soon
Kareena: Better check with your uncle, whether you need a serial cable or a null modem cable. My info on Viewsat Extreme is that it needs a Null modem cable DB 9 F/F.
Kareena - I'm not sure if you understood what Mike was saying, but if you did a Factory Reset, before scanning for channels you need to configure you antenas in the Installation Menu.
Your configuration will depend on what type of LNB's you are using and who installed them. What I mean by this is your DISEcQ Software setup in the antena installation.
If you were watching channels before you did the factory reset, you do not need to reload software, but you do need reconfigure antenas and rescan.
I believe kareena knows NOTHING about FTA and won't have a clue whats being said..especially if she just "learned" that U use a cable to upload bins into the receiver..she's a newbie and just need to read...and probably had someone set up her VS for her
it could be u have the night rider u need to put the last factory bin then the last bin scan your sat and do a receive guide. make sure your auto tp are on but u need the null cable . this is the last help i can give u . u need to read we all read when we started learning. it just take time be very careful what bin u put in . good luck

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kareena...go to www.totalfta.com and do some reading there..they specialize in Viewsat receivers!...good luck..
Kareena, I had same problem with my vs ultra, Just get on the thread for viewsat ultra dead in this site and you will find out what I did to reslove the problem.
hi kareena! i had the same problem like u, i accidently did a factory reset, everything went blank, nothing came up when i turned it on except for "on".
this is what i did to fix it.
first i loaded up the receiver with an original factory bin, after that i got the receiver back to life.
after all that is done, i loaded the latest program file and i was good to go. Then i was able to go to the menu and do the rest.
