Contents Dear customer! Here you can download the new software for your receiver. Please uncompress the downloaded zip file and read the instructions carefully before you load the firmware into your receiver! The zip file consists of: 1) Firmware: skyusb.cfg; usb1102.bin 2) Recording License Key: license.dat 3) Release notes 4) Update Instruction: a) At the PC: Extract the.bin and.cfg file from the package to the root directory of the connected USB device. Please make sure the connected USB device has sufficient free capacity (50 MB)! Then disconnect the USB device from the PC and connect it to the receiver.
B) At the Receiver: Switch ON your receiver and connect the USB device with the software to the connector at the corresponding port of your receiver. After the USB device has been inserted, you can perform the software update according to the following steps: 1. Wait until the receiver successfully detects the connected USB device – a massage will inform you. After this wait for short until the receiver informs you that there is new SW detected on your USB. Now use the ◄► buttons to select OK and press OK to perform the update. Your receiver will reboot into Update mode, please wait patiently until the update process is finished!
Once the update procedure is finished, the display will show “End” and “Good”. You can remove the USB device from the receiver now please! I nstallation of Recording License Key: After the update has been performed as described above, proceed with the activation of recording functions. 1. Copy the 'license.dat' file to the USB Stick, but please remove the SW files (.bin &.cfg) before you proceed! Then connect the USB device to your Receiver again and wait until you will be asked if you want to activate the recording functions. Select OK and press OK to activate. If you select CANCEL for any reason you will be asked again the next time when this file is recognised by the receiver.
After the receiver finished the procedure you're ready to use the new functions! Release notes SW Version 2.2.4 from: The following improvements were realised since the last SW Version:.
HDMI output. We have been adopting regions available for selection, so now are following available: Germany, Italy, Spain, Croatia, France, Poland, Czech, Other. Region France is improved with country specific LCN mode and ONID filtering. There were also added more languages and the default setting is English. Following are available now: English, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Croatian, Czech, Slovakian, Hungarian and Swedish. Recording functions were added, which are deactivated by default: Therefore a Licence Key file has to be installed in order to activate this function. This is necessary to consider the legal requirements for the German market.
Once you have your.abs file backed up on your flash drive, insert the flash drive into your computer. Then start the alieditor, next go to File- Open. Browse to your flash drive drive letter. Change the file type at the bottom of the open window to Open Bin File(.abs).
Then scroll till you see your.abs file then click to open it(or highlight it and click open-depends on your windows settings). Next a box will pop-up that says default or user database, select user database then click OK.
Now up in the top left of your window you should see all services and favorite group. Click the + beside services then click the + beside satellite information, this will show you the list of satellites. If you are using the list that came with the receiver and you want to add a satellite, you will have to delete one of the ones that is already there or rename and existing one. Anyway at this point right click on a Satellite to get a sub-menu to delete it or edit it or to insert a new one.
Remember if you insert a new one remember to delete one of the others first. This is because the Mini-HD can only have 64 sat positions. You can also re-order your list from here if you wish. When you are done if you want to save this in the same place on your flash drive(which you do so you can take it to your receiver) just go file and then save and it will over-write your exiting list. Just make sure to have a couple back-ups.
I hope this helps. Once you have your.abs file backed up on your flash drive, insert the flash drive into your computer. Then start the alieditor, next go to File- Open.

How To Setup Your Receiver (viewsat) All Models How to Setup your Viewsat Receiver Prefectly.
Satellite receiver settings editor EchoStar AD 3000 IP (Viaccess) settings editor There's a new project I've parked here for now. It uses vdr under Linux to create a live EPG database with online previews. Table of contents. This Open Source project intends to provide software for editing satellite receiver settings.
These are the settings you normally enter using the remote or front panel controls of your receiver. Don't look here for 'hexfiles' or any such stuff. The final objective of this project will be to create freely distributable program source that will enable owners to manipulate the massive amounts of satellite, transponder and channel information in their receiver. Such programs already exist but are generally speaking only commercially available. Feeling very strongly about freedom of speech in general and the right to possess quality software absolutely legal and free of charge in particular, the people involved in this project therefore wish to make such programs also available in the Open Source domain. See the pages why this is a good thing.
This aim will be accomplished WITHOUT reverse engineering any receiver's firmware or for that matter any other existing or future program! All work is done on the saved settings files, as written to disk by the provided program(s). These files are NOT encrypted in any way. Nor do these files contain any other data than what has been entered by the user or otherwise normally displayed by the receiver's OSD. This project will be further be governed by the GNU public license (GPL).
Current project 2002-03-22 So far the following has been discovered: Channels At 0x10040 + chnnum.32 0.1 Transponder number, see below 2.3 SID 4.5 VPID 6.7 APID 8,1F LSB of the PCR, MSB of the PCR times 2 9 Network index (network = 0xCD64 + 16. index) A bitfield: scrambled,?,radio,digital,hide,lock,?,? Analogue radio channels do not have the radio bit set!
B Satellite index (satellite = 0x40 + 32. index) Analogue channels have no satellite index (0)! C unknown D volume adjust, 0=-8, 8=normal, F=+7 E unknown F.1D Channel name (Latin-1 character set) 1E unknown 1F MSB of the PCR, left shifted by 1 Transponders At 0xCD0 + trsnum.16 0.1 Symbolrate 2.3 unknown 4.7 Frequency in KHz 8 Polarity, 0=V, 1=H 9 FEC, 0=1/2, 1=2/3, 2=3/4, 3=5/6, 4=7/8, 5=auto A.F unknown 2002-03-20 My mistake: the strings are not in UTF-8. My second guess would be they're in Latin-1 but I still have to confirm this.
Like the EchoStar 3000 (even more so) we find that the first character of a channel's name is often a control character (0x05, 0x03 etc). In the case of the 7000 this is so frequent that I'm starting to wonder if these odd characters do have some kind of meaning. 2002-03-18 Work has started on building a ChnOrg for the EchoStar 7000. Volunteers to aid in this project are of course more than welcome. For now we'll keep a work in progress report here of our findings. The 'groups' or 'lists' are new (the 3000 only has one list, the favorites so I looked at these first and found they are simple arrays of 256 elements, each element being the 'channel number'. For the TV channels these arrays start at 0x6AF4.
Each of the 8 lists has 256 entries and each entry is a four byte big endian number. The lists are simply sequential so they end at 0x8AF4. The names of the lists can be found at offset 0xCAF4 in the file, starting with the TV channel lists. Oddly enough, the lists are 19 byte entries in another fixed-length array.
It looks like this is a 15 character name (zero padded) followed by a 2 words which are always 1 and 0 (00 01 and 00 00). There are four sets of 8 lists (TV, Radio, DVR and MP3), again sequential.
These end at 0xCD53, if the above assumptions are correct. Following the 'list of lists' we find the network names as a series of 16 byte zero padded strings. Here we also discover that UTF8 is being used as one entry is composed of all UTF8 multi-characters apart from a few spaces. The network names list runs from 0xCD64 upto 0xDD54, allowing 255 entries. Looking at the beginning of the file we see the familiar Handan signature. After a few cryptic (for now) bytes we find the list of known satellites, starting at either 0x40 or 0x50.
The reason why we don't know whether the list starts at 0x40 or 0x50 is that each satellite has a 32 byte entry of which either the first or the last 16 bytes are always set to zero. Anyway, immediately in front of the name we find a byte that's either 0 or one. The satellites that are active in our configuration have a one, the rest have a zero so we know what this byte is for! Before the 'programmed' byte we have two mystery bytes and before that the satellite's position in the sky, as we know it from the 3000.
Attempts to make very long satellite names learn us that the name is limited to ten chareacters. So we still don't know whether the entries start or end with 16 unused bytes. After some experimenting we find the 7000 has, like the 3000, a second area near the end of the file where more satellite info is kept.
Following the (first) satellite info block we find a list that smells a lot like a bunch of transponders. If so, they would be stored in 16 byte entries. Around offset 0x6A90 the pattern changes to all FF values and then we get the lists described above. We find the 'Photo' lists at 0xED50 And at 0x10040 the channel list starts.
Hang on, that's a very familiar value! But no, unfortunately the entries aren't at all the same as those of the 3000. We hop down to 0x40040 and find the famous Handan signature again. It seems likely that we'll find the rest of the system settings, like the satellite pulse counts, LNB selections and so on in this area. 2001-11-05 We are still looking for developers and/or testers willing to participate in this project. Currently we only have code for the EchoStar AD 3000 IP. However, some code might be forthcoming for the VHsat receiver.
To be precise, I'm nearly done writing the code but whether or not (some of it) will be published here depends on ongoing negociations. Having actually received positive reports of it functioning as intended, the first non-beta release of the ChnOrg (Channel Organizer) program provides most of the basic functionalities one can expect of a channel editing program. Features so far:. Automatic removal of bad characters from channel names. Sorting channels per category and per satellite. Manual ordering of channels through a visual 'Cut&Paste' mechanism. Exporting the entire channel list for use in other programs.
Selecting channels by transponder (by user request). Detailed channel information (double-click on any displayed channel). Manual editing of channel names (also by double-clicking). (Re)setting 'favorite' and 'child lock' settings per channel. Group editting of 'favorites'.
Features planned for the immediate future:. More manual editing of channel information. Features planned for the not-so-immediate future:.
Built-in uploading and downloading of the settings using a Null-modem cable. Currently the program supplied by EchoStar must be used. Adding and deleting channels, transponders and satellites. Currently only 'in-place' editing is supported as the BIN format is not fully decoded yet. Import of channel, transponder and satellite information from other sources. Versions for Linux, Mac and what have you. Anyway, for this we need to have the serial communication first.
Features not even planned yet:. 'Live' connection to the receiver. If even at all possible, this will require the support of EchoStar and modifications to the receiver's firmware. Don't hold your breath!. Centralized channel database (through the Internet) with automatic updates. Will never arrive unless we get some solid support (web server, volunteers to maintain the data and so on).
Also somewhat useless unless it also supports other brands of receivers. Flame of recca full episodes torrent download. So, if you're reading this and happen to be a CEO of a satellite receiver factory, ship me your latest product with full documentation of its firmware and we're in business. Hey, I can always dream, can't I? Current: Currently everything we have is contained in one file (ZIP, 303 KB) which you can download. This ZIP archive contains both the source and executable for Windows (chnorg/release/chnorg.exe). The core source, the 'settings library', is intentionally kept as platform independent as possible. Until we have the serial communication with the receiver, you'll need a Windows box to talk to it anyway so no Linux or Mac versions exist yet.
They are planned, however (see above). Source documentation is also included in the archive (open doc/html/index.html in your browser after unpacking the ZIP file). There is also a of sorts which can also be read online. Obtained about the BIN setting files so far (somewhat dated, check the source for the latest information): The BIN file always has a 64 byte header that seems to be identical in all files we've examined.

After that there are another 16 bytes that are currently unknown. At offset 0x50 (80 for those that do not speak hexadecimal) we find a list of satellites the receiver knows about. This list is organized as 100 records of 32 bytes each.
This is what is known about these records so far. Data is stored in BIG ENDIAN format (MSB to LSB).
WORDS are 2 BYTES, DWORDS are 4 BYTES. STRINGS are zero terminated if less than the field size.
