    Question for SatAV re Fortec Star Lifetime NA

    I read in a different thread that SatAV was the North American provider for parts (& Repairs ?) for Fortec Star. I have a Lifetime NA that I've been having problems with the remote. I have checked the remote itself with my cell phone camera and it seems to be working. In addition I had been able...

    decline of quality

    Just a short rant about the quality of radio shack products and items in general. I know that we have more than one computer type techie here and a few Ham guys as well. I just wanted to rant a bit about some "desoldering braid" I recently purchased from radio shack. This stuff is crap. I...

    Fortec Lifetime NA Remote Dead?

    Hey Guys & Gals, I have a Fortec Classic NA that I have been very happy with, at least up until this past weekend. I was trying to go to the PBS feeds to see if I could catch The Steve Miller Band in concert, but when I hit the sat button on the remote I got nothing. None of the buttons on the...

    Signal Bleed with Lifetime Classic NA

    I had finally been able to tune in my first FTA Ku Sat, 87w. :) I was happy because of the problems I thought I had put behind me. So I tried to swing over to the NBC news channel on 103w, but all I could scan in there were the C-band transponders, even though they were showing up at H-11814 or...

    Feedhorn Modification Possible?

    I recently acquired a dish that I believe is identical to the one in this photo (credit to phlatwound for the picture) http://www.satelliteguys.us/attachment.php?attachmentid=40924&d=1250182016 I'm playing with the feed-horn and it looks to me like it might be possible to modify it to accept a...

    Blackbelt on W1

    I have been getting this channel on #300 for some time now. Last night it was blank. Any one know if it has been moved? Or what? Do I need to use a generic? Or a rehit? Thanks for your time. Edit: Never Mind, some how the skew got messed up, Now how did that happen?

    NASA on AMC-7 @ 137W and polarity

    I have been trying to pick up the NASA feeds on 137W with little success. I am able to get the 360 North feed on the same bird consistently. One thing I've noticed is that the 360 feed will show up on both H & V polarities. At first I thought my corotor was bad, so I replaced it but the same...

    Oregon/Washington Feeds on 95W

    Can any one tell me if the Portland-Yakima feeds on G3 are still there? I've gotten a new receiver (Fortec Star Lifetime Classic) I can find some feeds on G3 but these feeds are conspicuous in their absence. I don't know if it's the receiver or the feeds.

    Coolsat 6000 (clone) power supply

    OK, as some of you may know already I picked up a "New" Coolsat 6000 about 2-3 months ago. After some initial setup problems and help from everyone here I was able to ge tthe thing going and was happy enough with it. This weekend I decided to do a little sky surfing, but when I hit the button on...

    Dish Alert for Southern WI

    Not sure of exactly where to post this, that said here goes. Yesterday While driving around Jefferson Co.WI, I spotted a dish for the second time now in two weeks. This dish has been there for years. But the last two weeks it is off the mount and sitting there in the snow. Not sure of the brand...

    Not sure , but maybe another IPTV type source

    Sorry for the poor title. I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the VLC application. But it is readily available for Linux and Windows, not sure about Mac. If you have the application are you aware of this, go to View/Playlist then Manage/Services Discovery/Shoutcast TV Listings. I mean...

    May have fried my brand new Coolsat 6000

    While I'm new to FTA, I am not new to the skies, I have a 20 year old Radio Shack 9ft dish in the back yard that has served me faithfully. In fact it's still using the original positioning motor! It has a Chaparral Corotor II with fairly modern linear C & KU lnb's. My primary reciever is a 4DTV...

    Problem with VCII+ module in second hand DSR922

    First off left me express my stupidity as I can't really figure out where to post this. I have a DRS 922 that seems to work properly , at least on digital channels. Unscrambled analogue is also ok. My problem when I try to access a scrambled analogue signal I get a very mixed up screen but have...
