Fortec Star Search Question

[bincitybandit]

On a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra, when doing a blind scan, what should I have it set on: FTA, All, All+D?

 

[PSB]

FTA, then you will just find FTA channels : )

 

[Mr Tony]

some satellites you can scan as all. Something is goofy where channels say $$, which nornmally means scrambled, but aren't

The church type channels on AMC4 say $$ but arent So if you scan FTA, it won't hit them. But all will

 

[Sadoun]

Do an FTA scan first. That way all your FTA channels will be ligned up first on the channels list.

Then you can go back and do an ALL scan. It will put the scrambled channels at the end of the channels list.

Then go through the channel list and check what $$ channels if any are actually FTA (like the example given by ICEBERG). Sometimes a scrambled channel might be in the clear for a few days for promotional purposes.

After that go the CHANNEL EDIT menu and delete all the channels that have $$ and are not FTA. That will keep your list of channels clean.

Very good tip Mr. Sadoun!
