Woe is me.
I had my lifetime ultra on AMC-3 and everything was fine. I was going to move it over to IA-6 to learn about feeds.
But the signal meter on AMC-3 went inexplicably down to 23 %. I thought maybe the lnb arm had moved a bit since i had been tinkering with the dish so much. But it was fine...and the signal popped up again momentarily.
But then back down. I tried changing out cables and LNB's etc. to no avail.
ANyhoo my receiver is probably dead...and i understand from reading the threads today that the prices of receivers are up right now due to hackers.
So i guess i have to wait to buy for a bit....
This is my SECOND lifetime ultra....the first i fried myself on day one by trying to hook up a slave analog without really knowing much about it....okay that was my fault , but sometimes that is just the way i do things.
But this one i feel is not my fault. So i am getting gunshy about the fortec.
So what do you all think ---what receiver do you recommend? My goals are receiving feeds mainly so blindscans are a must.
thanks for your input!
