DwnUpMan would be the uploader you use to install the software. Old instructions: 1- Connect ird to power and turn it ON. Hook up null modem-cross over serial cable(pn 2-3, 3-2, 5-5) to PC and ird. Straight thru cable (2-2,3-3,5-5) won't work with this receiver. 2- Open...

Make sure the 3/4 channel switch on back is where you want it. If you are using a coax connection to TV, try using a yellow RCA video cable and see if you can then access the menu screen. Your TV will need to be in "Video or VCR" mode for the RCA cable to work.

Boy, after looking at the picture I can't make heads or tails out of it. Doesn't make any sense to me. Don't see no way to mount to dish. What is this, some new fangled digitized contraption?

I have also read that the Diseqc switch should be before the 22KHz switch when used inline. I have a "Perfect Vision" 22KHz switch before my 4-way Diseqc switch and it works fine. But after thoughts made me edit this. My 22KHz is before my 4-way Diseqc, but I only used it to attach a 5th...

Almost all of the other boxes, including the Fortec Classic NA, keep the correct time by utilizing the satellites Atomic Time servers (Or whatever it's called).

Not sure where you got the receiver from, but I'm thinking it must have a PAL bin installed. At the Fortecstar website they offer a PAL bin and a NTSC bin. The above method should work with an NTSC bin on a Fortec Ultra. Never had one with a PAL bin so I don't know for sure about them. Maybe...

Sometimes on booting the Fortec will give the Language menu, sometimes not. But one of the above methods should work. When you get to pressing the right or left arrow, keep pressing until the screen clears up...it should do it in about 3 tries as there are 3 options there: PAL, Auto, and...

Hmm...maybe this will be more helpful. HOW TO FIX A ROLLING SCREEN that is stuck in PAL Mode ***************************** Depending on whether pressing the Menu Button takes you to the language screen or not, one of these methods should get you back into NTSC Mode. Turn on the...

On the first screen (User Setup screen)...after the language selection if you get that, About the third down the list is "TV Type." Make that NTSC.

Just went out to double check the oval P* dish. No skew adjustments other than the lnb.

I have the one round P* and two oval P* dishes. They all had the dual H/V coax connections. Then I found some old dealer stock of oval P* dishes which had the single coax connection lnbs, picked up three and replaced the dual coax ones with them. The round dish mounting holes didn't match (Same...

That helped some but still getting a lot of pixelation at 1:00 PM. Signal Quality on the CW600s is 58%, Classic NA gives 19%. I just cut a tree this morning that had leaves the sig had to filter through. Hoped for better. This round P* had a different LNB than the ovals. When I replaced the dual...

I'm using a round (30" x 33") Primestar dish with a single coax LNB fixed on IA 7 for the White Springs channel and getting a weak signal. I can pick it up fine until about 10:00 AM and then the sig gets too weak until evening. After reading other posts, I think adjusting the skew might help. It...

Too bad!!!! And here I was getting excited that they may have changed it so I could travel through the various sats and channels and not jerk my motor around until I pressed "OK." This feature is okay for/if setting up a Fav list, but really sucks otherwise.

Absolutely would love to try out one of these new and faster Fortec receivers. Looking forward to reading a review about channel change and Power Search speed on them...faster Power Scan with accurate results would be a most welcomed feature improvement.

I didn't mean it works as good as a UHF one, and it's not "Universal." But mine works as good as any regular TV remote. The Lifetime, Ultra, Pansat2500 , Buzz , and CW600S remote doesn't work as good as my Classic NA remote.

With the same chip as the Buzz (180MHz) I'm interested in the possibility of swift and accurate Blind Scan capabilities most of all. Looking forward to reading a review. As for remotes, the Lifetime Classic NA has the best working remote of all the boxes I've tested.

NICE! Check out these 3 new Fortecs in the "Coming Soon" section at http://www.fortecstar.com/ Real monsters here! :)

All I can say is, second time around, it looks like "Real" Blind Scan to me too now. :) Thanks for the review, Ice. I kinda like how the remote "Beeps" when it makes contact. You can turn that off if you want, but I like the confirmation. Small feature, but I like it.

Okay, well maybe I'm wrong. I did that a few weeks ago (Forget which sat I scanned as what) but it didn't find the TPs. Just tried it again, scanning G10 as IA7, and it seems to be finding them this time. I might have messed up somehow.

Very nice receiver. But once again, I don't think it has any "Real" Blind Scan capabilities like the Fortec Ultras, Pansats, etc. If you delete all the TPs from a Sat and do a Blind Scan on that same sat, all the deleted TPs will be replaced via the software. Example: Delete all but one of...

I am under the impression you can't use this with the Classic NA. I have version 1.10.2 and see no option listed for the Classic NA. Can anyone confirm uploading their channel list and downloading it without any problem using SharpC's ChannelMaster?

The second drawback is my most major gripe also. Otherwise, this is a very nice working receiver. I'll take an accurate scan over a fast one anyday. It's a keeper!

I think what they mean is be careful, and don't screw up. Know how to install software "Correctly" before attempting. Lets face it, if you just buy your first receiver you're maybe not sure what the difference is in a boot file, ROM file, or channel data file and maybe think clicking the wrong...

True or false? I need to know. I have a Fortec Classic NA that I hope to receive this week. I purchased it for the Blind Scan or Power Search (Whichever Classic calls it) function. The Captive Works 600 here does have some nice features. BUT, does it really have Blind Scan? I just posted...
