gTool I found a channel editor on fortec star site. Anyone had experience of using it? It won't screw up whatever I had in the box, right? I see the default txt file contains satellites I don't want. The version I downloaded is gTools v1.8.5.851.zip. BTW, using gTools won't void the...

I have set up all sats/chs I need now. Can I save it through RS232 cable to my computer? In case next time when the box is messed up, I don't need to do all the scans again? I have fortec star Lifetime ultra box. Thanks,

I got it back I was impatient. The menu comes out after a while. But I still cannot remove the wiered channels it messed up by itself. I just made a factory setting. Now everything should be fresh start. I am still worried what happens if I do a power scan. Have anyone had problem with auto...

My Lifetime Ultra box get into a stage that the menu button doesn't work. Other buttons work, such as sig, sat. I switched off the box and turn on. It doesn't get out off the loop. Whenever I press the menu button, it dead. How can I reset the box? Is there new version of software having less...

Elevation Thanks a lot. Sorry for the trig part. My house is so close to neighbor's house. I just have to be careful without unnecessarily damage the wall by trying many times. I need to put the dish just higher enough to get the beam. The dish is big (90cm/36") and heavy, I don't want it is...

I want to estimate how high my dish should be put from the ground. My question is that is the elevation degree number (got from lyngsat.com) the actual angle between the beam and the horizon level? For example, if the elevation is 20 degree, my dish should have a clear distant to the...

I have a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra box and an antenna motor. Since yesterday, the Antenna setup on the box often got reset or changed to random numbers. Very often the motor is "disabled" automatically. When I try to re-enable it again, the longtitude and latitude number become random numbers...

I checked the dishnetwork site. The most of channels of the Chinese package is now on transponder 17, which is 11957 V according to lyngsat site. Some of them scattered on tps 4, 5, 20, 27. Another question to experts, how can I receive dish L and R polarization with a Universal LNB (H & V)...

lyngsat site is updated with 12161 V blank. Dish still offers the package so they must be encrypted and moved to other transponder. Experts: as of regular English programs, such as PBS channels, are they come and go/move often? BTW, I have a Fortec lifetime ultra. It has EPG function...
