my problem is that on step 3 I don't have anything that says code. I mean nothing
So where am I suppose to enter the code...?
I feel so dumb...but it's a complete puzzle that I can't solve without someone's help...I hope you can be that person.
Something U are forgetting...Don't have a fortec, but vaguely remember that the Code option was not available on the Ultra's either until U either updated to a newer bin, or scan the satellites first, or something to do with parental controls, I think....I remember a thread (look thru the ARCHIVES here or do a SEARCH) that I started months ago about "Fortec No Code Option fix"...or close to that..it has your fix..
Thank you LK, I already have started to look, and I have found something about a 269 autoroll, although I don't understand anything about it...I guess I will have to work my brain a little more, till I have enough and get rid of the Fortec that is killing me slowly.
I found the answer...u don't have any software bins loaded now or U have the incorrect software loaded in the receiver...u need to load the factory bin..then try it and then the latest bin and the code option will be there..I posted it in March 2005 Archives here..
you are right LK, I don't have any software bins loaded. I didn't do anything with the Fortec, except like they said in the book, make it scan for channels. And I only have 11 channels. I feel really dumb. I don't know how to load bins in it or even where to get it. I found a couple of places where I can get bins, but I'm not sure they were good. Maybe it's way out of my line, or I'm getting to old for this.
I'll try to look for the March archives, and look in to what you posted.
No need to look in Archives...I already answered U ...U need to load a bin, then U will have the code option..I belive the the Fortec classic , U do not enetr keys...U just upload the latestbins which already have the Dishnet keys in the bins,,,then U scan the satellites that U have your dish and LNB's on roof dish align and adjusted to....then configure your receiver to the LNB and disque switch settings...then watch TV..I'm sure U need to read an FTA and Fortec setup guide!...dsscommunity.c*om forums has them both...go there and read..also they will have the lastest bin for your Fortec...which BTW, I wouldn't even own one...
here's the latest bin, and its almost 6 weeks old..14 Feb..dsscommunity and tester do not even carry these bins cause they' so uncommon and not in demand!...bottom of page
In all honesty...I would get rid of that receiver in 2 seconds!...u will not find files, any help and many support problems!...Ultras suck too but at least there are 2-3 files available..these classics are very bad!
Thanks LK & Justice - help is greatly appreciated. I happen to have one of those POS LT Classics...now after loading the bin from the links posted, do i also need the 273t (or any other bin) for the latest autoroll/keys?
How to re-enable autoroll etc on Fortec Classic NA (Only)
- Goto Installation - Clear DATA - Code is 0000 - Go to Factory Default and click OK - Wait till it erases all - Go to Installation Again - Antenna Setup - Choose Nimiq (item #37) - Make sure Diseqc , 22 khz and Scan Mode are OK .. ( Scan mode is ALL) - Go to <scan> and press OK - Once scanned Save them and wait 2-10 minutes.
Hope that can help all the people that had the same problem I had.
