How to fix your Viewsat HDMax from a Boot Loop

I installed a brand new Viewsat Max a while back. Scanned my 5 satellites. After a week it boot looped. I tried reloading everything over and over again. I bought another one and last night it boot looped. I was not buying another unit so I played with both of them today. It is so simple that it took minutes to fix.

All you need to do is load a blank channel list through the serial cable with VSHD Loader Version 1.1. I attached a virgin one to use. After I did that, I used the usb to load the cleaner then the factory file then the newest file.

Not to change subject but I'm real curious to know why you would buy a box(s) that hasn't has support for years. Were they cheap of you just wanted a project?

They work good and for $70, it's a decent box for HD.
