Helping a friend with first FTA experience, need original software........

[radio]

In addition to getting a friend onto the "DSR-410/Birdview "bandwagon", we're also getting his first FTA system installed. (member: nicknjen)

He's running a previously "enjoyed" Viewsat 9000-HD. We thought we had some issues with a 22khz switch, so it is bypassed, and will be replaced by a diseqc switch soon.

When directly wired to the C-band side of the two-band LNB (a Geosat C/Ku) we scanned what we thought aws 91w C-band, but the identifier for the Ku Nimiq1-ku showed on his display. However, with scan complete, the C-band channels properly popped-in clear as a bell.

We believe that the former owner ran hackware that could be confusing by wrongly labeling satellites saved, and would like to flash the unit back to original. Unless I missed it, did not see this original software posted here, which is where I trust it to be what it should.

Are we on the right track with our suspicions, and...can anyone direct us to the latest available factory firmware? The unit does have the 8psk functionality which I understand is necessary for HD to function?

Thanks for any help the membership can lend!

The viewsat website is no more. Unfortunately your going to have to visit a hackware site to get it.

it doesnt really matter what the receiver "says" the satellite is....as long as you are scanning the proper frequency range then you are going to get all the proper channels....when i lock on galaxy 91w (ku-band) sometimes my receivers will say nimiq 1 which is the bell express satellite....its not a problem i just make sure im scanning 11700-12200 only....the bell tps are from 12200-12700

i will post the factory file in a few hours when i get home if you want.....but to be honest i dont think it will change anything or work any better than the hacker software....

Much appreciated! Please post! From your post and the previous, I think we're on track.....and that the scanning of available frequencies is not properly happening in his FTA box.

files need to be unzipped first....

- do a factory default on the receiver
- load the "cleaner file"
- load the V121 factory file
- load the sat info file
