    No audio on some channels

    Yes. C-band. My foretec lifetime classic na scanned it and that's what it put in there. The sportsman channel is also showing up as AC3 but it does have audio as does Qtv and Sorpressa. IMF, STC, and euronews have no audio, listed as AC3, I tried to select a different language for...

    No audio on some channels

    I've got the proper audio id entered for some channles, but there's no sound. Usually it's on channels that have the AC3 indicator on. However I can get sound on Imaginasian TV and it's also listed as AC3 on the receiver. Is there something else I should check? or are the others with no...

    Polarity and FTA how is this happening?

    I had already scanned (I'm still playing with it and haven't made a H sat listing and a V listing, they are all combined). Initially when you changed the channel on the FTA to something with a different polarity I had to change it with the analog receiver. But now I can flip through all of...

    Polarity and FTA how is this happening?

    I've got an analog receiver and an FTA receiver (foretec lifetime classic na), pulling signal from a 10' BUD. The c-band lnb goes to a HF splitter with DC power on one side only. That side goes to the analog receiver, the other side to the FTA receiver I'm watching IA-13 and suddenly I'm able...

    Thanks guys! I didn't realize the F wasn't for all free-to-air.

    signal strength help

    I'm looking at IA-13. I've got a 10' BUD with a fortec lifetime classic NA FTA receiver and C-band. When I look at 4186-v-5185 I get a locked indicator and level of 80%, those channels are fine. 3940-v-29270 it is unlocked and levels bounce from 0-26% 3900-v-27684 is locked with a steady...

    AMC-3 weirdness

    I can tune in AMC3 on my analog, and channel 22 - CNBC comes in clear as a bell, however two channels down, Dr. Gene Scott looks like an oompaloompa. It's not clear at all, and his face is orange/red. My FTA box can't get a lock on the satellite either. What should I check?

    Toshiba TRX-1520

    Thanks guys! I've managed to scrounge up yet another analog receiver from a friend. Hopefully this one will work.

    Toshiba TRX-1520

    That's what I was planning on doing, but PSB mentioned moving the dish with the Fortec so I wasn't sure if there was some way to do that or if he thought I was using a smaller dish setup.

    Toshiba TRX-1520

    I've got a 10' BUD. I'd need to send out voltage to the actuator so it would move the dish. Unless there's some way to do that I haven't read about yet.

    Toshiba TRX-1520

    Thanks. I took the 1520 apart and it's fairly corroded inside so it's dead. So now I've got my Foretec Lifetime Classic NA and an older analog receiver that won't move the dish, though it does tune etc. when I used a car battery in the house to connect to the dish power to move the dish...

    Toshiba TRX-1520

    Should this receiver power-up if it doesn't have the videocipher board in it? I was trying to find something to use to move my BUD for FTA since my Toshiba TRX-80 wouldn't send out power on M1/M2. I've got a 1520 but it doesn't have the videocipherRS board. I took the videocipher II+...

    Fortec Lifetime Classic NA firmware

    I just got one, and I went to their website and there's a newer version of the firmware (from a few weeks ago). What's up with their disclaimer. "To avoid invalidating your warranty, contact your dealer to have a Fortec Star trained technician upload software to your receiver. Only a...

    PAS 9 @ 58.0 w

    Does the Universal LNBF only work on the small dishes? I've got a c-band bud and will be putting in a corotor II in the future and I've seen the universal LNBF mentioned in other areas. Is there something similar I should be looking at?

    BUD measurement

    Is a dish measured straight across from one side to the opposite, or is it the full side-to-side concave measurement along the surface of the dish? i.e. is a 10' dish the distance from side to side with a tape measure suspended above the surface of the dish?

    BUD and FTA

    Somehow the FedEx delivery didn't show up on Sat so I still don't have an analog receiver to move the dish. I got desperate and decided to hook up my previous analog receiver and bring a 12v battery in the house to power the dish movement. I managed to get IA5 in and the FTA receiver could...

    How do you pronounce DiSEqC?

    That's how I say it. You must be smart :)

    why are the FTA Sat listings so crazy?

    Thanks. That makes more sense of it. Right now all I can do is play the tetris game on my Foretec classic :)

    why are the FTA Sat listings so crazy?

    I haven't hooked up my FTA receiver yet since I'm wating for another part to make my BUD move. In researching what I might find up there, I've discovered that it's almost impossible to get an answer. I looked over the sticky: "I've got a FTA setup...now what can I pick up?" and at...

    What happened to Sadoun' web site?

    I've been using Firefox 1.5 for a while and I've had the problem there. Main page always comes up, but clicking on a menu item usually results in a blank page. Forcing a reload seems to work on some of the pages, but some items I can try to click and it never goes there. Like "Free...

    BUD and FTA

    Grrr. my FTA receiver came in today, but I don't have a replacement for my old analog receiver to move the dish until Saturday's fed-ex. I've also got DirecTV, the lyngsat site seems to say that at 101.0W is a DirecTV satellite, but also AMC 4 which has FTA stuff. If I plug in the coax...

    BUD and FTA

    I may end up going with VBOX II eventually. Right now I was just trying to get started with what equipment I did have. It sounds like I'll be doing a bit of gymnastics to get the channels tuned each time for a while.

    BUD and FTA

    I didn't see a forum in the FTA areas to ask this. I'm still waiting for my FTA stuff to get here so I don't have first hand experience yet. If the FTA receiver does a blind scan, does it try to store the channels in memory with a satellite setting? If I have to use my analog receiver to...

    Help starting up old system

    I've got the correct splitters on the way, thanks! Why would someone need to do this: http://www.dmsiusa.com/multiplelnbfs.htm Is that just if you can't move your dish and are using the smaller dishes?

    Help starting up old system

    Is this the same thing? It seems to allow a larger freq range 5-2300MHz, would that be better? http://satellitemart.com/xcarts/product.php?productid=16305&cat=261&page=1
