Viewsat Ultralite, boot from USB
How to Boot from Usb (frozen receiver)
The Ultra Lite has a similar feature to the Ultra (Boot from usb)
One thing not sure of is when it was added to file or if it has been there since first release. With the ultra it is only available with 3rd party bins released after April 4/08
The difference is what you rename the file to.
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 .PEG file (factory files or 3rd party bins) to PFTAUSWL.PEG
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 PFTAUSWL.PEG file on flash drive any time you have it inserted into receiver and reboot it will reload. May be a good idea to delete off once file is loaded.
