Derekm. welcome to the site.. you have joined one of the best sites on the web, for FTA... I am not yelling at you, because I know you are new to the site and excited about finding out some information... but you really should start your own thread... everything is cool.. just a little info is all..
Now, to answer your question... on the Sonicview 1000, you need to load
VO260P

I do hope that helps.. again. welcome to the site... and enjoy all the great info and members that are here... good luck, txsgent

Hi I'm a newbe. can anyone explain to me what a bin file is/ Thanks

[dman999]

Bin is short for binary. It's a binary file which you load in to a receiver. It's the firmware that controls it. There are factory binary files and third party binary files which are meant to go beyond standard Free to air TV like a factory file does.

I hope that helps explain it.
