Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - 23:29 GMT Ali, Check Ebay you should be able to get a new Viewsat platinum for around $70 USD + shipping. I think a repair shop will be minimum $50 and take time. And they may not be able to repair it.

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - 23:33 GMT Rico is right ... always buy the model that is next in line to be discontinued.

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - 23:41 GMT Ali You must never send nothing to Future Shop or La Source, a good thechnicien can found the problem easily if it is in the power supply, but Rico is right you can buy a new for low cost. No light can't tell the power supply is broke, but the base program can be erase. You can buy the NFusion for get Bev or KBox for get Dn and not lose your money and time.
