    GEOSATpro MICROHD Reboot/loop fix instructions

    Com 3 seems to be the only port that will take to next step, where it says "Failed to get version." I downloaded this file and it is the one I open but I don't think this is right. 1-139w_microHD_ChList_2122013.udf (1.56 MB, 564 views) There is no userdb in it. Anyone know what is going on here?

    Fortec Classic is down

    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...

    Fortec Classic is down

    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.

    New Moteck 1.8M motor

    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?

    Diseqc & 22k only work one way??

    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...

    Fortec Ultra

    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).

    Fortec Ultra

    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...

    Fortec Ultra

    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...

    Fortec Ultra

    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...

    Fortec Ultra

    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.

    Skew for IA 7

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

    Skew for IA 7

    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...

    Skew for IA 7

    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...

    Skew for IA 7

    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...

    Firmware Upgrade for Fortec Lifetime Classic NA - Why?

    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.

    Win a FORTEC MERCURY II from Sadoun!

    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.

    Fortec Mercury Coming Soon

    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.

    Fortec Mercury Coming Soon

    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.

    Buzz S2010f

    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.

    Buzz S2010f

    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.

    Buzz S2010f

    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...

    Fortec Star Lifetime Classic NA

    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?
