Viewsat Ultra, boot from USB

How to Boot from Usb (frozen receiver)

As long as receiver will power on and usb port functionally the following should eliminate the need to use the loader programs and null cable for the various receiver load errors
ie. ---- issue.


To use this function do the following
1)Rename any .PGM file (factory files or 3rd party bins) to PFTAUSWR.PGM
2)Copy file to flash drive
3)Power off receiver with rear switch
4)Insert flash drive into receiver
5)Reboot receiver

If all goes the way it should the above renamed file will automatically load and install.
Upon rebooting the front display on the receiver will show "uSb", then "InSt", then "End"

***If you leave the PFTAUSWR.PGM file on flash drive any time you have it inserted into receiver and reboot it will reload. May be a good idea to delete or rename once file is loaded.
