    We had the same thing happen to our Ultra Viewsat but my question is how do we reload the factory setting and how do we this? How do we get it from the serial port on the computer to the system?

They are ok. just get the loader , call v2 or loader two and the factory file and youll be ok. just google viewsat forums to fine all you need.

Same thing happened to me. You have to find a factory preset for the ultra and load is through a pc then after it boots just install the latest fix and enjoy
