Wow, a primate postmortem prostate probe.....

I little off topic, well at least it's about bird poop, Yes they are very selective where they poop. I have my '83 Mercedes and '96 Chevy both parked in the same driveway, guess which one they like to poop on? :( It's like , what was his name Triumph? the comic insult dog?

Some of the old Toshiba IRD's had something like this but on the STB's display not on the TV

there has been a rash of bad caps over the past several years which has caused a lot of motherboard failures. Probably caused problems with a few STB's as well.

I've been in tech support and technology professionally for nearly 20 years, but I have to say that at times we do tend to ridicule those who we serve. We have all heard the cup holder story, or the gas peddle one. Then there are the acronyms such as PEBCAK and ID-10T. I'm not saying it is...

I agree with you, in fact that was one of the first things I tried.... It worked for a day or so....:(

Richard, I was able for a while to give the sensor a slight push or wiggle it a bit and things would work, but only for an hour or so. Other than this problem I have really enjoyed this Fortec, more so than the CS6K I think. And I know that other than the remote issue it works fine, just...

Brian, here are a couple of pics of the board in question. I'm sorry that they are not better quality. Thanks for everything. Doug Oh by the way, the Radio Shack 38kHz is not the correct frequency....:(

Or perhaps the front panel circuit board?

Lone Cloud, Does the CD/DVD drive light flash at all when you try to boot up? Or is the "verifying data" message coming from the system? Have you tried booting without a disk in the CD drive? If so what message do you get?

Googled, Yahooed, Binged and Wiki-ed until I was blue in the face,:( ....Do you stock it?

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...

Lone Cloud, as I understand it you are unable to boot up on the install CD? Is you CD drive ATA(IDE) or SATA? If ATA (ie ribbon connector) is it slaved together (connected on the same ribbon) with the 500GB drive? If so you need to make sure that one is set as the master, preferably the 500, and...

Dee, one thing that happened to me when I installed myth was that is seemed to want to index the drive with my DVR files on it and kinda messed things up. Don't know if it was myth or what but I bailed on it. My files were still accessible but they were all the Linux version of chk files, which...

Dee, I've been doing something very similar to what you are trying to do, so I'll toss in my 2 cents here. First off, congrats on setting up the Ubuntu on your own, yes it is easy but that doesn't detract from the achievement. Second, good for you, dump Windows! I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on my...

Does she sing?:D

I too have had this problem and have been able to trace it to the sensor on the front panel. I can wiggle it and it will work for a while but then stops again. I tried re-soldering it but the problem persists. I think I'm going to have to replace the sensor, my question is does any one know...

I'm guessing WIFI also...

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...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most if not all S2 cards also support DVB-S?

is the ability to do 4:2:2 a function of hardware or software?

Ok here is the pattern so far take the cover & front panel off, it works put it back together, it doesn't take it apart, it works Then I put it together with the smoked plastic window removed, it worked, no it didn't, yes it did...Huh???? Then I tried moving the IR sensor with the window off...

Now the weird stuff starts, I put every thing back together and nada.... So apart it comes once again. There has to be an explanation there somewhere.

I have been "Lusting in my heart" for one of those SatHawk or should I say SSR* recievers. * Saudons Sexy Receiver;)

I've never seen some one work so hard not to make a sale.... That said, Saudon You da Man!:clap:bow The ribbon didn't seem loose, but I removed it and reseated it and it worked! Thank you:up
