This is how it looks like for me just now.

It is just blank, before it said *N3 Files Expected Anytime*, and it had the file list.
Could they have took down every thing in the site to release the N3 fix soon ?

It says this "You don't have permission to access /uploads/img-dg88H.png on this server".
Do you realy think it is a lock down?

hmmm maybe they took it down because it wasn't true to begin with...

I regularly speak with a local (SW Florida) VS dealer and as recently as last Sunday he indicated he is beta testing a release that gives him almost all DN channels, but is still freezing as frequently as 2-3 times a day, and requiring a time consuming reset process.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if this means a REAL N3 fix is "right around the corner" or if this has been going on for a long, long time. He seems to feel a fix is coming in the reasonably near future.

that's what they all say. seeing is believing

hmmm maybe they took it down because it wasn't true to begin with...
Yes ,it is a possibility

I know what you are talking about, maybe they are working on "perfection" the bin so that the fta folks can watch tv, without rebooting their system only twice a day.
I don't believe this..its a rumor, because if we don't have any bin yet..can't we get a "solution" that only freezes 2 times a day?? If they had a bin working as a Beta, they would have released it. Believe it or not...:|:|:worship:

Why would they take down the rest of the website then ? They had latest files for viewsat posted there (Telefonica people), if that was the case I'm pretty sure they would just take down the *N3 Fix Expected anytime*


One sec guys fixing the images up in first post so you can understand what I am saying. K fixed look at the images.

you never know, lets just wait.

They would not release a "solution" to the general public that "only" freezes 2 times a day! People have enough problems when they had to install a new bin once a week!

Beta testing is not for the general public. That is why it's called beta testing....

RTM releases are the result of extensive beta testing... once the bugs are worked out and the beta testers give the nod, then the RTM release is unleashed. (RTM stands for Release To Market).

Any activity on the "home" site is peculiar. What does it mean? Nobody knows. At least nobody with the authority to tell us!

This is what I still see on the screen when I go there. Nothing seems to have changed>>>

Thanks kenmo,guess that settles that.

yeah ken that's what it says, no difference:confused:

Mine hangs at the banner splash too... nothing but blue screen and the head banner...

Trying a different browser?

Google Chrome = Banner only
IE8 = Normal Website....

So they wrote some code in the site that bombed the Google Chrome browser.... wonder what they did?

This is how it looks like for me just now.

dude,just in case, try another brower, lol, i already saw it and even kenmo attached on a image.:lol:

The link to their first banner ad is broken, and that is freezing some browsers at that point in the code....

The IE version shows the banner add script, but not the banner.

So the site is not broken, the link to the banner ad within the site is broken...

Some browsers ignore broken links, others "hang"...

A non-event here folks....

Firefox working fine here.

Still the same old splash screen showing what Ken posted.

:\..........so basically you have concluded something is definitely wrong chuck?
I don't think so yet....

just checked, IE8 and firefox 3.5 works no problem, safari 4 and chrome are getting the same problem as the one who posted the thread, its a web page problem.

:\..........so basically you have concluded something is definitely wrong chuck?
I don't think so yet....


No. Nothing is wrong. Nothing has changed on the site itself.... only the now-broken link and that is at the other end of the banner ad's link...

I think the site itself has been unchanged since the last telefonica updates...

Sounds like he's talking about SonicView with an Ihub, that's IKS man.

Nah....sounds like he has a dealer that is propagating the BS about VS having a fix that is in the beta stage.....more than likely in the hopes that he can convince some poor saps into spending their cash on a VS receiver....

exactly,,,would be my guess

maybe they took it down because they are going out of bussiness there is a lot of rummors outthere and a lot of bs. hope fully they will come with a fix soon?

hmmm now correct me if im wrong but this homesite is hosted in the USA in Texas from a whois search

now isn't it weird of rumors of Dish now being in Viewsat website and the banner that is broken look at the code

it has an "autoforward" script within it this is actually very interesting... I am looking more into this

Bottom line you just have to wait and see and no vs has not given any indication that they are going out of buisiness, this is from corporate site :ANNOUNCEMENT

“There is still a lot of misinformation and false statements circulating on the Internet and elsewhere concerning Viewtech and other parties active in the FTA community. Viewtech is fully operational and will remain in business as the industry leader, and will continue to sell and service all of its receiver product lines. We thank again all of our employees, distributors, their dealers and our customers for their support.”

damn it I have seen, heard and read alot of rummor and promissing. I will not take this serious that N3 fix coming soon. Yes "COMING SOON" LOL. Regardless of what other-website or rummor said, until you see stand alone bin posted here then yes you know N3 is Fix avaliable, for now who care of what other ppl said or post banner. Those are just the same meaning "COMING SOON" but in different way of wording it. Once you see FTABINS website started to hang then you know N3 fix is here.

Wow one week ago you seemed confident VS would come out on top and now it sounds like your giving up on them. DId you really think a miracle would happen within a week? Sounds like you got sucked into the big 17th rumor.

If a beta file existed it would have been leaked long ago and be all over the internet, I believe this dealer is feeding you bull.

hopefully there will be a fix but nobody know's when .

The VS HQ site is the same as it was yesterday "files anytime" maybe it was down for a while but up now same as always. New fix we will see in time or is that "anytime"

ok this is old news wares black list roomers come on last time i herd he was in Iceland doing some bin that will save fta

I bet this beta file will work on all boxes and even my DVB card

man not more viewsat bs rumours.
guys stop posting the same thing over and over, when there is a fix it will be posted.
