Hello,

I have not used my Blackbird for over 3 year, because the old place I lived at was not pointing in the right direction. Well, now that I have my new place and a couple of re-imaging of my computer, I have lost all my BLACKBIRD files. I have not upgraded my software for over 3 years now, and I need help gathering the program for upgrading firmware. I also need help doing. If someone can assist me in the right direction, I can read about it and figure it out.

Thanks
AJ

dont waste your time with that Dinosaur, buy a viewsat :yes:

I had BlackBird when I started messing with FTA then a few Pansats now a few DN recievers and cards, im going to get a few viewsats to get my DN recievers and cards out of harms way for now, last I looked there wasent much BB support like bins and stuff, anyway good luck what ever U do

:mellow:

Yup, the Blackbirds haven't been supported for some time now...time to move on. :(

I've found the only thing that the Blackbirds are good for now, is setting up satellites. You can locate a signal and peak it in with them, but that's about it. I had two of them, I use one for installations, and my Rottweiller plays with the other one.

Another receiver that had good support in the beginning.
I have to laugh when I read people are going to buy an
xxx receiver because of their good support.All receivers
have good support, in the beginning.

Ok I think I got the message, :) I need to buy another box. Now tell me is it worth buying another box that will be obsolete, or should I go with a cable box descrambler.

Thank you,
AJ

aj there are no guarentees with any box you buy, your best bet is to buy a viewsat, since they are running and easy to set up

Well how about the fix from caveman that is posting in the files section of the blackbird. Does that work, has anyone tried it out.

Right now, the only 2 things you can do with your blackbird is run it as a true fta for ku or c band, or do the jtag/groundwire coship bin workaround, and then it is only good for locals and you do not have auto roll. I have tried to "mix" some other files but no luck yet, (but no GLS either). You might see what you can decode from C band if you have the time or aim at g10 and get true FTA. I think you will need the 4.0 file since most of the factory ones did not have sats for NA. Later TY

Is Black As A New File ?

Hey tyrader, where can I find the 4.0 and is there some info somewhere to find the g10 sat? Thanks,
