Hello, I've recently hooked up my Fortec Lifetime ULTRA Reciever to my old dishes. I went through the installation, and scanned Echostar 3 (61.5) for channels, and it found about 200 or so. Now, when I go to view the channels, it is ALL BLACK, and after a few seconds it says this message:
"Info: Scrambled or Bad Channel"
Does anybody know a solution or think they can help? Thanks. |

by flashing the receiver, do you mean downloading the .bin file into the receiver through a female-to-female connection (CPU to Receiver)??????? |

@eeeeeeeee
Dude, bins are not released every day or every week for that matter, if everything works there is no need to release a new bin, if it ain't broke don't fix it (just make the damn epg work faster).
If you read as much as any tester on this board or other boards you'll know which bin is popular, which bin has problems (hey BL ;) ...sorry) and which bin...I don't know, has kibbles and bits in it, so read on and you'll soon become the coolest guy ever  . |
