    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'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...

    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

    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    I just got one, and I went to their website and there's a newer version of the firmware (from a few weeks ago).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...

    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?

    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...

    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 a 10' mesh dish and a Toshiba trx-80 reciever. I haven't used it in a few years but decided I'd fiddle with it. It came with my house and I never really used it, I put in a DirectTV system. When I played with it then, it was reporting "no pulse from actuator". I bought a new sensor...
