I havn't had any channels working for the past 3 days... does anyone know whats going on? All my keys are updated and my antenna setup is perfectly fine. Is there a new bin?
Also a little off topic.. is the new bin for Viewsat Platinum out?
Turn OFF your receicer from the back switch. Disconnet your satellite cable from your receiver and wait 30 seconds. Then, reconnet your satellite cable to your receiver and turn ON your receiver from the back switch. Check if that solves your problem. Do this if you're getting "Scrambled or Bad Channel" message.
shut off autoroll and manually input new keys from today..or upgrade to bin 290T...set default key and let autoroll input the latest keys..if that doesn't work, then start from scratch with a factory reset, factory bin, new scan, antennae receiver settings input again, and bin 290T..and if that doesn't fix your problem then u have a hardware issue, such as wind blown dish movement etc or cable and connection problem....
Also, I checked my Antenna Setup and for all 4 satelite I have the Level is 31% and Quality 0%. Does this mean its not the bin or keys fault here.. could be dish outside?
my fortec was giving me greef to once also the same probs ... all i did was factory reset . .. load the factory bin and then the lastest bin which at the moment is 290T scaned for sats etc.... also ... as Lk pionted out... turn autoroll OFF before you input the new keys . I myself am running .. X-85BL ApI:287TA_en boot ver. :60 o5 jan 2007 I do not believe in upgrading all the time if all we need to do is input new keys. So far I am still working with new keys updated quiet ofter as of late. But I am still watching my fortec.
Go to the list of reputable DSS sites and download the bin from there. Make sure you also unzip the file before you flash your receiver with it. You will also need BL Loader v1.4.
I downloaded bin 290T. Now the fortec receiver keeps showing dashes '-' on the display. I am a newbee, could you please give me specific instructions. Thanks for help
Those dashes are called "Night Rider Lights". They come if your receiver is corrupted. Download the boot file, then the factory bin, and then bin 289T. Bin 290T is boring and will give some bug problems.
After installing 290T bin, do satellite scan for all channels again and that will solve the problem. It happened to me and I did satellite scan and then it worked.
Hello all i lost all the channels in BV ( it gives me bad channels ). any one has a clue ???. Do we have to change the keys or it should auto roll. I have Bin 290T on the receiver. please help
new to all this I GOT "NIGHT RIDER LIGHT" ON MY FORTEC LIFE TIME ULTRA. I RAED THE FORUM SAYS I NEED TO LOAD BOOT FILE THAN THE FACTORY BIN AND THAN 289T BIN. I CAN NOT FIND BOOT FILE AND LOADER . PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
Kamal - You will get both with this bin, however there are lots of problems reported with it. I would stay with what you have and wait until they stabalize this problem in the new bin.
What I've read is that it reboots every so often or freezes up your STB. I have not tested it, because when the original 292 came out, reports started flying about the problems and since this is nothing more then the original 292 with clone killer codes removed, I knew it would have the same problems. Said and done! It is giving people the same problem. Hang tight, it will be corrected...
