I am having trouble getting a signal on quality side of meter but signal on level side is at 92 per cent I am using a new fortec lifetime ultra whic has been down loaded with echo7. On top of page there is an unlock sign , do I need to unlock something in the receiver or do you think the dish need more adjusting? Thanks

I installed autoroll and since the I only get Dishnet. Scan of nimik1 gets no channels, even though signal is fine.

Any ideas please?

Autoroll is for Dishnet (110-119)...nim1 is Bev at 91...U are an idiot ..U must aim the dish/LNB at 91 if U want nim1!...then scan the 91 bird channels!

Since either U are VERY DUMB or LAZY (to READ),I suggest U subscribe to cable!

LK, before you jump to conclusions and make your stupid remarks, it would have helped if you had clarified what I am asking. I have two dishes and the one for nim1 is pointed to 91 as you stated ! so what is your explanation or suggestion now. Trust me you are not the only smart one around here !

Sam...I think U make this up as U go along...If U had 2 dishs U would have stated that!...If U're a tester with 2 dishs installed and aligned correctly,an FTA receiver,autoroll installed for Dishnet, and know about nim1 and the 91 bird,then U would have never asked that DUMB question...who do U think you're fooling..U can tell that lie to your momma,but I've been around long enough to smell BS like yours...its very OBVIOUS,1 minute U know nothing,then the next U know and have everything,just like a 10 year old kid who just got scolded...U're full of BS!,,,and WHY do I need to clarify YOUR question?...that makes NO sense!..and since U're so smart suddenly,then U can figure it out yourself!...U have all weekend before school starts to figure it out and pester and lie to everyone!

BTW...have U ever heard of LNB's and disque switches..or satellite scans

LK, your nasty comments are not worth commenting on. If you had read my original post, I was asking about how come I cannot pick up any channels when I scan. So to put it simply, yes I have LNBs and dishes properly set up. So if you can be of assistance to solve the problem, please so. Otherwise dont keep sending these comments.

If your dish is correct and U have LNB's aligned for both Dishnet (110 and 119)and Bev(91)..now thats 3 LNB's aligned correctly,then U should get the 91 with a scan,if your disque switch is set correctly...U don't any info,like what dish and LNB's and which switch...much info is left out for anyone to help U..

It can never be a dishnetwork receiver,they have CARD slots...but U can pick up Dishnetwork channels with your FTA..All U need to do is align the roof dish to the 110-119 satellites,then flash the FTA receiver with the 269 autoroll bin,scan the satellites, and reset the receiver..

I'm looking to buy a Fortec. I'm what you would consider a newbie. Is this stuff as hard as it sounds or does the system come with a detailed explanation of how to find different satellities? I just don't want to blow $400 on something I can't use.

firmware is another word for SOFTWARE (file)...I wouldn't buy now because of nagra2,and losing amost all channels by August...whats nagra2?..,here find out, www.nagra2.org.. If I were to buy now,it would be a very inexpensive ($40) Pansat 2500 from eBay..but Fortec Ultra is good too...basically same same...but I would wait until Nagra2 is/if hacked before I bought!..

Thank you LK I know you're trying to make it very easy to me,but I don't have any idea about the Fortec and how dose it work (I mean programed), so that could you please tell me the steps for the programming and I don't know why did you reffer me to this website
http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/2/128570.html
So please could you explain.Some where in the instruction manual it says that I have to download the programs from a programmed reciever to my new receiver and after that it will work,Is that correct and how can I do it?Thanks a lot for your help and time.

That thread explains it all...that simple...just follow the directions..

BTW...NO,U do NOT download programs from another receiver...U download software/programs,bins,files,STB updater.exe loads,etc from Dss sites that are mentioned in that link...then U load the software to your own receiver using a cable from your computer to your receiver...now U better start reading again..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All FTA autorolls,except the coo*lsat released last night, are down...Dish has done a minor ECM..atmega is also working..don't worry,nothing is broken or damaged...BUT new autoroll bins will be needed..

Just enter your keys manually




If you cant get into your menu because your FTA box is frozen downloading the new key, just turn your receiver off, then on, then immediately go into your MENU screen

Now manually enter the keys

KEY0 02 7E A9 9B E5 07 A0 EA Active...changed today Friday 10 June
KEY1 D5 66 C4 72 AE D0 60 B7
10-06-05 13:01:56 (1:01PM)

BTW...all autoroll bins are down and not working (except for latest coo*lsat and the dreamboxs)due to an ECM by dishnet...also all card blockers were hit also...the fix

manually input the keys...if your box is froze,just hit power OFF-power ON...then Hit MENU immediately and input the new keys manually

How to change Dishnet keys: 00 or 01

Pansat receivers................

press menu

go down to parental controls, and press OK

press down arrow and enter 0000 thats 4 zeros

now go down to nagravision and press ok

now press the right side arrow next to the ok button 11 times until it says dish network

now press the down arrow 1 time

key number should read 00 now

now press the down arrow 1 time

using the buttons on the remote (number buttons, To type the letters into the new keydata, press the appropriate button on your remote: Audio = A, Info = B, Signal = C, Pause = D, Sat = E, EPG = F)

set the key to whatever the latest key code is
8A C4 96 93 EC 79 9D 57 ....(example only)

now press the ok button!

then press exit 3x to exit the menu

Lastly, on BACK of receiver (not remote)..power OFF,wait 1 minute ,power ON..this is a reset

This is how to change your public keys when needed, these instructions should work for both 2300 and 2500 pansats. also 2700..
