Thread: Visionsat IV200 PVR Plus

Turksat,

Where did you get version 1.25? Brian's post contains only version 1.20 (without card version). Thought I'd upgrade the firmware since I only had version 1.20 already.

Thx.

Well, I would have to check that now. Maybe I confused 1.20 with 1.45 or whatever the other F/W was. In either case, I did not get any new F/W from anywhere else, and I just used whatever was posted here.

I was thinking about changing to the Smart Card version since I was going to try my cousin's card to see if I could see his paid channels, but I never got the time to do that, plus I didn't want to lose my channel line up, which took me a long time to sort/block/etc..

OK, thanks. Finally got around to replacing my 31" fortec dish with the glorystar 36" dish that they had on sale last year and wanted to make sure I had the latest firmware also. Most sats came in from 3 to 4 quality points higher, but the 30, 43 and 58w are not coming in...need to do some tweaking and take the receiver out on the roof.

I bought two units of IV 200 PVR from same store but at different time about two months apart. The first unit is working perfectly after configuration. I bought the second unit and hook it up with same TV, same cable, same dish and got zero on signal quality on same satellite - 95W Galaxy 3c.

Is this unit defective?

Thanks.

Do they have different firmware versions? I hope upgrading f/w was the first thing you tried.

Thanks...It was a defective unit. I have exchanged another one and it is working properly now.

Thanks for the review. I'll start looking for this on the auction sites!

I just have a question:

If I upgrade the firmware (1.20 to 1.45), will I have re-scan and adjust my line-up again?
The reason I want to upgrade is to try my cousin's Irdeto2 subscription card for DFH.

I think I am just gonna go ahead and try it.A
Edit: It works great. The card works fine, and after update everything was restored perfectly.
