Greetings all, I posted a short video tutorial on how to go into the FortecStar Mercury II receiver and manually change the name of the Satellites from: - Galaxy 25 to Galaxy 19 - AMC-4 to SES 1 Here is the link to the video: I tried my best to make it as basic as...

amc-4 mostly cleared Greetings all, I know its all speculation. But AMC-4 had alot of its FTA recently cleared with the launch of the new AMC-4. And AMC-4 is received by most GLORYSTAR installed systems. I am curious with AMC-4 kinda bare right now if it would be the home for that...

card slot I was under the impression that the BISS-1, BISS-E encryption is built-in to the receiver and receives its KEYS from the FIRMWARE updates. And that the card slot is just for adding additional IRDETO or other types for in-church and other special situations/broadcasts. The built-in...

smaller southern footprint Greetings, I guess that means the new AMC-4 will have less coverage in the Eastern Caribbean & southern end of Central America? The current KU AMC-4 footprint stops well north of Panama & does not cover the eastern caribbean islands. I guess the new one will...

I really like the TV Apps feature that was recently added. And it works very well on my HR21-700 receiver. I added almost all of the APPS to my list. One of my favorites is the NOAA Weather Radar app. It asks for your zip code to display your local radar. If anyone out there knows...

time signal no good Greetings, I am sad to see this. Because it will kill the whole idea-concept of successful DVR deployment by a program provider. Two things are key to make DVR work: - Accurate time signal - Accurate EPG data The only other resolve is manual recording and...

time signal is 1 hour and 2 minutes off on 12115 for past several weeks Greetings all, For the past few weeks both of my receivers: - DVR-1100c - Fortec Mercury II are showing the wrong time. I know my receivers are set correctly. I live in St Louis, MO (CT). And both units are set...

Greetings all, I am getting EPG data on 3 glorystar channels: - Al Karma - Russia Today - Mhz WorldView Its coming thru on both my Fortec Mercury II receiver and DVR-1100c. You have to actually tune to the channel to get the EPG data to show up on screen. On the...

Greetings all, On this following website, you can compare the footprints of g19 vs g25 KU band. I am guessing this website is showing a computer predicted footprint of the satellite's KU Band: SatBeams - Satellite Coverage Maps - Sat Footprints G19 certainly does cover more of north...

G-19 Greetings all, Is it possible that the G-19 transponders are not yet optimized? I too am sad to see the signal quality on 12177 & 11716 are both way down on both my receivers. On the Fortec Mercury II - 11716 is now: 50% On the DVR-1100c - 11716 is now: 74% 11716 previously...

12115 back Greetings all, Good to see 12115 back. I do have a question though. My DVR-1100c is still using software: GS3.10 - v1.04 Is this still the current version for my dvr-1100c? Also, I know that Galaxy 19 is up there in orbit, undergoing testing right now. But I guess they...

Greetings all, Was wondering if its possible to prevent the DVR-1100c from scanning the 12200-to-13000 range during a BLIND SCAN? I wanted to stop the unit from wasting its time on that whole range. Not sure if that question has already been asked or posted elsewhere.

signal quality readings now... Greetings all, Sorry, the last message did not read well. So here it is again: Mercury II DVR-1100c FOX 64 32-40% 51-52% (never received before) PIT 31-37% 51% (never received before) Tandberg 45-51% 67-69% (never received before) Hope Ch 71-76% 88-90%...

Greetings all, I just used my sm-2200 Trimax meter to better align my Glorystar dish. The professional installer that was sent out previously did a lousy job. In fact the LNB skewer was set at -20.0 degrees, when the specs say it should be set to -10.76 degrees in St Louis, MO. Now...

Comments on new DVR1100c I share the same opinion as most, its a good receiver. I have my DVR1100c connected to my original Fortec Mercury II as a MASTER-SLAVE config using the IF LOOPTHRU option. Works flawless in that configuration. I have expreienced a few hiccups here and there with the...

Thank you Greetings Glorystar1, Thank you for the update on the EPG data. I appreciate that. For a moment there, I thought something was wrong with the receiver. Thanks for setting my mind at ease. Oh, btw, I was able to continue to use my Fortec Mercury II receiver. I put the...

Greetings, #1: I have the new DVR-1100c receiver. I've had it since Monday. Its Thursday night now. But so far the EPG has not filled up. I was wondering, is the EPG data on the satellite yet? Or is there a certain day and/or time of the day that it is transmitted? I know the...

Greetings all, It seems that Globecast World TV is doing some sort of Free Preview of most of their premium programming. I have a Fortec Star Mercury II DVB-S FTA receiver. I am getting EPG data for the (2) RTR Russian channels. - RTR Sport - 11898/V/22000 (G-25) - RTR Planeta -...

Greetings, I am wondering why my CLOCK display flips time on the various Glorystar channels? I have my CLOCK on the (glorystar) Fortec Mercury II receiver set to: - GMT: ON - CLOCK DISPLAY: 12 hour - Time Zone: Chicago (I live in St Louis) - Summer Time...
