Yes. C-band. My foretec lifetime classic na scanned it and that's what it put in there. The sportsman channel is also showing up as AC3 but it does have audio as does Qtv and Sorpressa. IMF, STC, and euronews have no audio, listed as AC3, I tried to select a different language for...

I've got the proper audio id entered for some channles, but there's no sound. Usually it's on channels that have the AC3 indicator on. However I can get sound on Imaginasian TV and it's also listed as AC3 on the receiver. Is there something else I should check? or are the others with no...

I had already scanned (I'm still playing with it and haven't made a H sat listing and a V listing, they are all combined). Initially when you changed the channel on the FTA to something with a different polarity I had to change it with the analog receiver. But now I can flip through all of...

I've got an analog receiver and an FTA receiver (foretec lifetime classic na), pulling signal from a 10' BUD. The c-band lnb goes to a HF splitter with DC power on one side only. That side goes to the analog receiver, the other side to the FTA receiver I'm watching IA-13 and suddenly I'm able...

Thanks guys! I didn't realize the F wasn't for all free-to-air.

I'm looking at IA-13. I've got a 10' BUD with a fortec lifetime classic NA FTA receiver and C-band. When I look at 4186-v-5185 I get a locked indicator and level of 80%, those channels are fine. 3940-v-29270 it is unlocked and levels bounce from 0-26% 3900-v-27684 is locked with a steady...

I can tune in AMC3 on my analog, and channel 22 - CNBC comes in clear as a bell, however two channels down, Dr. Gene Scott looks like an oompaloompa. It's not clear at all, and his face is orange/red. My FTA box can't get a lock on the satellite either. What should I check?

Thanks guys! I've managed to scrounge up yet another analog receiver from a friend. Hopefully this one will work.

That's what I was planning on doing, but PSB mentioned moving the dish with the Fortec so I wasn't sure if there was some way to do that or if he thought I was using a smaller dish setup.

I've got a 10' BUD. I'd need to send out voltage to the actuator so it would move the dish. Unless there's some way to do that I haven't read about yet.

Thanks. I took the 1520 apart and it's fairly corroded inside so it's dead. So now I've got my Foretec Lifetime Classic NA and an older analog receiver that won't move the dish, though it does tune etc. when I used a car battery in the house to connect to the dish power to move the dish...

Should this receiver power-up if it doesn't have the videocipher board in it? I was trying to find something to use to move my BUD for FTA since my Toshiba TRX-80 wouldn't send out power on M1/M2. I've got a 1520 but it doesn't have the videocipherRS board. I took the videocipher II+...

I just got one, and I went to their website and there's a newer version of the firmware (from a few weeks ago). What's up with their disclaimer. "To avoid invalidating your warranty, contact your dealer to have a Fortec Star trained technician upload software to your receiver. Only a...

Does the Universal LNBF only work on the small dishes? I've got a c-band bud and will be putting in a corotor II in the future and I've seen the universal LNBF mentioned in other areas. Is there something similar I should be looking at?

Is a dish measured straight across from one side to the opposite, or is it the full side-to-side concave measurement along the surface of the dish? i.e. is a 10' dish the distance from side to side with a tape measure suspended above the surface of the dish?
