Hints and Tips for a perfect setup Viewsat by odd thomas
I will explain this setup indepth so all our memebers can use this everytime you load a new bin file.11/29/06
Setup your Viewsat Receiver:
1)Do a factory Default first before unhooking your receiver,(Always)
2)Flash the latest factory bin v.2067P for platinum,or v.2068X for extreme
do this to enable a clean bin flash(everytime) you have a new release
3)Flash the lastest new release DBPSW_1128X for extreme,and DBPSW_1127P for platinum,after 100%/Inst/0000,turn (ON) unit
4)Go to (MENU,Installation,Parental Option,Turn (OFF) all settings,untill compltetely finished with setup.
5)Setup time(GMT) is -5:00 behind Eastern Standard Time in US/CA Summer time(OFF) This is important,or it will not fill up your EPG.
Next is the most important part of setup,if not setup correctly will cause you alot of grief.So please follow closely.
Tip's,and Hint's for a great setup
6)Now your (SATINFO) file is the most important part of setup,you will need to find the best file for the type of dish,or dishes you have.
NOTE: You may have to try several different files before you settle on
(1),remember if you scan 8,10 and only pickup a small amount of channels,(STOP) right there and rescan a different satinfo file,most times they are corrupted because of the transfer of files on and from a receiver to your PC then thur the download.
As of today a simple scan of echostar 8,10 should give you 350 channels,and 275 on echostar 7,again nimiqs 1,3 should be around 250,use this scale to see if your picking up all channels with your satinfo file.
Basic is (110.0w or EchoStar 8,10) if you have a file on your receiver that has the older version of 6,8 you will need to change this to 8,10,or 8,X.This is because DNDNDNDNDNDNDN has setup the transponders to look for newer version of this file to work at its best.
Basic again is (119.0w or EchoStar 7) and (91.0w or Nimiqs 1,3) so I will explain this setup.
7) Next your receiver is ready to scan with latest bin file,right?.(NO) Next go to Channel Scan in your Menu click on echostar 7 first,scoll down to Edit TP,click (OK) this will Highlight the TPs,now this is very important!
(DELETE 12224 TP),yes thats right (Why?, Because this is a Spot Beam for a different Satellite).Now EXIT and Save.
Now again back to Channel Scan to echostar 8,X, again scoll down to Edit TPs,click (OK) again and highlight 12239 and (DELETE it)Again this is a spot beam for echostar 7,and if you leave this to TP's on each other it will scan and Dulpicate channels.Now EXIT and save.
9)Nimiqs 1,3 doesnt really matter sence your scanning a different dish.
10) Now your ready to setup you Antenna Setup.
This show's the setup using DishPro500 LNBFs and a Single DTV LNBF Dish.
Note: (Remember if you do not have a (Dp) on your LNB's then use Legacy for your LNB type in setup).
Satellite.................EchoStar 8,10,or 8,X (110.0w)
LNB Power .............ON
LNB Type...............Standard<if>but still depends on the LNB type you have.Make sure they match!
LNB Freq................11250<because>
22KHz....................OFF
TP Freq..................12224<as>
Search option..........All
DiSEqC 1.0..............Port 2
Motor ...................OFF
LegacySW..............None <unless your using a DiESqC Switch 4X1,or a SW2X1,DP34 or DP44 Switch.Use correct settings
Scan F1, and Save.......(Important) donot scan F2,or Blindscan
Satellite..................Echostar7 (119.0w)
LNB power...............ON
LNB Type................OSC-Dp <Or> depending on what gives you better signal,and quality
LNB Freq.................11250
22KHz.....................OFF < not using that type of SW.
TP Freq...................12239 <Spot>
Search option..........All
DiSEqC 1.0..............Port 1
Legacy SW.............None
Scan F1,and Save.....Again Do not scan F2 there is (No) reason too.
Satellite................... Nimiq1,3 91.0w
LNB Power................ON
LNB Type..................OCS-Dp < Or Standard if using a single LNB dish 300,or DTV Single LNBF
LNB Freq..................11250
22KHz......................Off
TP Freq...................12370 <or>
Search option..........All
DiSEqC 1.0..............Port 3 <if>
Legacy SW.............None
F1 to scan and save.
11) Next if you EDIT your Channels,go back to Menu,Options,(turn (OFF) Auto TP.Is will allow you to delelte channels without your receiver freezing up.
12)Edit channels and Save by clicking EXIT.
13) Back to Menu,Options and turn back (ON) Auto TP.
Finished.
If your doing a Standard Scan you should come up with around 800-900 working channels depending on what you perfer.
This will take up to 30-45 minute's to complete but will be worth it.
Remember to place your channel on (150) or Speed Channel,Keys will Roll in 2-3 minutes every time,and EPG will populate 100% on all Channels.
Yes all channel's no freezing up,no jumping back to channel 100 everytime you change channels,no Dulpicate channels,or any of the other crap that your unit used to do.
And as always Enjoy TV.
