Has anyone from time to time been watching tv on their fortec lifetime ultra and it goes from great to gone..i mean i've got great quality and then the signal spikes to 92% and the quality goes bye-bye and i have to do a hard reset to clear it. Just wondering if im the only one who this is...

Anyone know if the Hurricane Rita stuff is going to be posted in the general FTA Forum; although I think i'll be going off line on Friday sometime....This storm is big time..I'm almost tempted to go out and pull the dish off the mount to keep it from getting blown apart..... Chris in Tx

Does anyone know if the current solar storm we are experiencing could affect FTA Signals. I mean i would think it could. It seems that Fox Arkansas on G10 is a little iffy lately when before it was constantly 95% quality and never broken but the past few days its been really skiddish. Chris

Here is a question for anyone. While doing a power scan on my Fortec Lifetime Ultra It comes up with a bunch of transponders; but on some channels all i get is a black screen; but good quality and signal. Does the digital receiver scan in and store analog signals; it just can't display them...

Hello everyone..does anyone else get pretty good qaulity on one 11800 , but not so good on 11720; i get excellent quality on 11800, especially on fox and upon; somewhere like 99% quality and it dips to around 80% quality on the rest but on 11720 i'm lucky to get 35% quality and can hardly get...

I somehow or another don't have a remote for my Uniden UST-4400; and i haven't for the life of me been able to figure out the whole using the digital to set polarity then just switching to the analog; are analong ku freqs the same ; regardless of what your receiver says..for instance, mine is...

Good Evening Everyone. I was wondering if I could still get NASA TV Fta on Dish Network 119; i know when i used to have dish network; even after i turned off the service i could still get NASA so i was wondering if it is FTA so i can get it now. Thanks..Chris

Sorry if this has already been asked..and answered but I did a search on it and found just about everything but what i was looking for. Does anyone have a decent list of where NCAA digital backhauls may be this year; or a suggestion on where i can look to find them. I basically love football and...

Has anyone else been experiencing some problems with their Fortec Star LIfetime Ultra FTA Receiver. Mine from time to time seems to lock up and not want to turn the motor, and as i speak i've got 83% level and 72% quality on G10R but have absolutely no picture..just a black screen that comes up...

I did an FTA only scan on IA6, and have come across some very interesting stuff..a couple being black screens , two being wright patterson 7 and 8, along with FAA encoder 2 Ch 36, it doesn't have a $ sign beside the name or anything; are this analog? Just curious thanks chris

Well I moved the dish (again..for the third time) and now I am actually getting the whole arc...including G10....i couldn't get the quality above 40% on G10 but the picture is clean and clear..with just a few blips on some transpondersr. I seem to be getting faster at it every time I do it. My...

I am beginning to think that that tube that the direct TV dish was on isn't quit strong enoug for the Motor and Dish i have mounted on it. I was able to get it plumb and level when i mounted it but i have a feeling that the weight of the motor and dish and with it moving has caused it to maybe...

I was going through the box that came with my fortec dish and found this odd little black circular piece. Is this something that should be on my dish; because right now it's not.

I get posts about backhauls that are on a KU satellite that I can receive good but they are in Analog. I have an old analog receiver, but what im having a hard time understanding is that the posts give a frequency but not a sr. So how can i program it to search for that transponder without a...

Good Morning Everyone I got my FTA system set up yesterday and im tracking the arc pretty good,with the exception that i cant get from 110 on because of my neighbors house..but my question is about SBS6, would getting a slightly larger dish, say a 36" v.s. the 31" i have now make that much of...

I've got an old uniden analog receiver, and i was thinking of tuning it to a KU satellite AMC 9, well the feed is on AMC 9, transponder 4 ; so how will i know if my dish is pointed there..do i just program my digital receiver with AMC 9 and then once i find it store it and turn on my analog...

Okay so i now have my fta system moved to another location; i was able to reaquire my true south satellite ia 5, and got about 90% quality and about 85% level on it...i can also get G3, but I can't touch Telstar 6, then on the other side i cant get AMC 4, but I can get AMC 1 at 99% quality and...

I didnt seem to be tracking the arc properly, i was getting some and not getting some so i went outside checked everything to make sure it was level and it was...then for some reason i started screwing around with my dish and now i cant get any thing. I've checked my azimuth about a thousand...

Good Evening guys..im programming the satellites into my fortec ultra, and well i went to amc 2 and the level is great and the quality is great..about 80 and 80 or so but it doesnt seem like its finding anything on AMC 2, is there just nothing there? So far the only thing it has found is...

Okay so i got my fta system in. Well on my first attempt i have been able to get 60% level and about 60% quality of IA5, is this normal, or should i try peaking it a bit..the receiver is scanning right now and has about 28 tv stations and 25 or so radio stations...i think im doing okay for a...

Okay so i'll be getting my new FTA system on Friday, with teh Fortec Receiver, dish, motor, the whole spill..but it seems like there is a lot of stuff that is 4:2:2 digital; of course i don't have the cash for a commercial 4:2:2 receiver, and ive been reading here in the forum but am a little...

Okay so i ordered my FTA system today from Sadoun, looks like it should be here on Wed...so i was looking at my mounting pole and it looks like i am 1 degree off of plumb...is this 1 degree going to make a huge difference? I mean i can probably mess around a little more with it and make it plumb...

Okay so i'm going to order my system tomorrow..and well i went out to my "planned installation spot" with a johnson angle finder, and a compass...just to see something..i picked two satellites, SBS 6 and IA5, so i guess im asking if what i did will give me an idea to whether or not my dish will...

Hello Everyone..good morning to all. I had a question about grounding. I know that in Amateur Radio, you can not have a Ground Wire a certain length(on the HF frequencies)because of the way it would interact with whatever frequency you were operating on(now with that said-and it really isn't...

I have a few ? Though. I thought about installing it myself; although it appears to be a bit tricky, i have read through the installation instructions for the motorized setup i'll be getting, but im having a real problem figuring out what my true south satellite is, and from what ive read you...
