As I stated earlier, I got my motor up and running yesterday (Friday) And it is working well..I have come across a problem with the Fortec Dynamic Receiver..When I attempt to tune radio stations, the Receiver freezes up. I have to either go to the channel list or back to the menus before I can use the receiver again. The LED light in fromt of the receiver has lines across it when this is happening. I had never had this issue before..Any suggestions?

Tim, Sounds like a defective receiver? I have the same unit and haven't had any issues with the radio stations on it so far. Blind

I wouldnt think so. Before I got the motor on, I had the dish and receiver at 123 west exclusively and never had a problem..

I reset the receiver to factory defaults and am reloading the transponders/channels from 72 to 129 west..as I go I will try the radio after each sat is loaded..will let you know what happens..
It's still happening..If I push the radio/tv button on the remote, the receiver moves to a previous Satellite and freezes. with lines in the LED where the channel/time should be..When I get time this week, I'll try to operate the receiver independent of the motor and see if that changes anything..
I found a workaround to the problem I described in my original post..If I go to the EPG and push the radio/tv button on the remote, The radio stations show up in the guide.Then after leaving the guide I can listen to them..
One other related question..Does anyone know what Satellite Yesterday USA Radio is currently located on? Thanks for all your suggestions..

yep. Its on G11/17 but the transponder changed to 12050. Its in the scrambled mux with the 4 color bar channels.
You should be able to do a PID entry. What I did was entered
video-1160..this is the video from one of the color bar channels
audio-1620
pcr-8190
that seems to make it work...for the TP update check thelist its the TP that is 12050 V symbol rate escapes me
