I loaded the new bin file and channel file for viewsat extreme, though it said everything succesfully I get no channel displayed on the receiver. I had to do a blind scan to get the channels, can someone tell what might be wrong that I didn't get the channels when I loaded the CHA file along with new bin file?

Sada Bhai, I tried exact same steps but even though Channel file (*cha) is succesfully downloaded, I still don't see the channel list.

FTA Tester, I opened the file using OSEDIT and it successfully opened and I see all my favourites but when I download it on my receiver I don't see the channels at all.

Signal is more 90%, port setting is set to COM1 and baud rate to 115200.

After doing blind scan I get all the channels.

Yes I get all the channels and then i have to sort them again.I wanted to avoid to do the blind scan by creating the SAT file and Channel file but that didn;t work as when I loaded Channel file though it was successfull I didn;t get my channels or favourites.

Did that too and same result. I guess may be the channel file and uploaded from STB to PC was not done right. Hence I will do it again using OSEDIT. Going by the rate of ECM I am sure it will come handy. Thanks for the help FTA Tester and Sada Bhai.

Yes I used Loader 2, loaded the bin file and then loaded the channel file and hit PC -> STB. The download was successfull. When i turned on the reciever I saw that the new bin was there but I was not seeing any channels (and Favorites I created).
