Fortec Ultra Lifetime reset required??
ADVERTS 1
I've found twice in the last week that I lost signal on my receiver. It showed an erroneous 90% signal strength, 0% quality, and no reception. Both times I cured the problem by turning off the power on the back and turning it back on. Anyone else experience this?
I read some old posts about deleting transponders. Does that mean that all future searches must be blind scans?

After removing all but one TP, from the satellite you are about to scan you can Blind or Satellite scan. The Fortec lifetime just seems to get clogged up when there are too many TP's stored. Its a pain but an easy work around.

What about the C band transponders? Do I delete them, or does it matter?

I would delete ALL but one KU TP. (including any C-band) I had to do a factory reset, then EVERY time just before you do a scan delete the TP. It will not affect any stored channels : )
Never had a problem since!

Proud Staff MemberGo through the C-Band section of your satellite list (this works real good if you dont use C-Band) and delete all transponders....that really helps cleaning it up.
I did that with my Pansat...if I ever get C-Band, I can add them in
Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites
