GEOSATpro where do i go to get the reset instructions for the microhd?

[chaskuchar]

had to rerun cable to my dishes and reset microhd to factory setting. then I scanned in all the c channels after resetting counts and then tried to scan k channels, autoscan them. no channels showed up and now the microhd is rebooting continually. I have the connector to attach between the computer and the stb but I can't find the instructions to reset the microhd. thanks. chas

searched for geosatpro and found the instructions. now need the ali editor software. hope it runs on win10. chas

You will need a windows xp, vista, or 7 machine.

so far I haven't had the com port start. I guess I need a driver. will try some other means... chas

Did you see KE4EST's reply above?

yes, I saw that I can't do it with windows 10. oh well... good thing I have a spare microhd. chas

Hoping for native Linux support. Would make sense, as most STB's run a stripped down 'form' of linux.
Then, if one is 'stuck' with '10', you could install a linux distro in a 'dual boot' config.

NEVER delete a satellite from the internal list or reset a MicroHD without manually deleting the tv channels FIRST. Not doing that is what causes the boot-loop. Ask around your friends, I'd bet at least one of them has a Windows 7 or XP pc still laying around you can borrow, if you have the internal serial recovery cable.

Chas, if you find an older computer to use and need the editor, drivers, etc, I have it all backed up here somewhere and will dig it out.

I have it all and instructions posted somewhere in a thread here at Satguys, too. I'm on my phone right now, but whenever I'm on a computer again, I'll try to remember and find the thread. There's a couple of different drivers, a Xp one and a Vista one, IIRC.

If you get totally stuck and can't get access to a pre-Win 10 computer, I'll get it out of the boot-loop for you for free.

Course, you'd have to send it to me. Wouldn't need the remote, power pack, cable, etc, I have all that here.
