Bronze Member Username: ZizoPost Number: 36 Registered: Jun-06 | Hi Guys, I have Fortec ultra life time and I have Pansat 2500 Bin 279T in it. I want to put the 283T (Pansat) but before that I want to do a Factory reset (Factory bin). Please tell me what should I have to do 1st and which bins to use? Please tell me all the procedure to do. Thanks a lot. |
Bronze Member Username: TelekonBremerton, WA Usa Post Number: 11 Registered: Oct-06 | Ok, did the blind scan, said no transponders found. when looking at the satellite list under antenna setup. it give a 87% signal strength for the Hotbird sat. But no quality reading. |
Bronze Member Username: TinfishPost Number: 75 Registered: Apr-06 | LK..finally fixed my problem with only one key (either 00 or 01) on my FLU. I used the factory loader and loaded the facory bin. Reset to factory settings, loaded 283T and when I checked it still showed one key. I was almost going to give up when i tried the "Set Deafult Key". The receiver went into autoroll and came out working. Lo and Behold all the key entries were there!! |
Bronze Member Username: DureMississauga, Ontario Canada Post Number: 37 Registered: Jun-06 | LK or AV 284T Bin is out.Is it better than 283T and in what ways. Now, 283T autoroll works well. Thanks |
Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 5182 Registered: Jan-06 | Set Default Key is mandatory with autorolls..maybe everyone is forgetting that.. |
Silver Member Username: AsharfiPost Number: 296 Registered: Aug-06 | Viswaa Drure, Bin 284T is little better than Bin 283T. I would suggest that you should download bin 284T and keep your receiver up to date with the latest bin. Yes, the bin is safe and it fixes autoroll for DN and BEV. Available at |
Silver Member Username: AsharfiPost Number: 309 Registered: Aug-06 | Guys, You don't HAVE to download bin 284T, but if you want to keep your receiver up-to-date with latest bin, then you should download bin 284T. |
New member Username: JojoeprPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-06 | Hello, I'm newbie, so I have some questions that maybe you could answer and help me. I have a Fortec lifetime ultra thas was clone to a PANTECDVB. In the system information shows: Fortec 2.84q, Boot Ver 6.0, Feb. 14 2006. I have read a lot of stuff but i haven't find a clue on what's happening with the receiver. I follow the steps that everybody do, but it shows only Nagravision. If i select it, then appear another image asking me for the Provider ID(00 01), the Key number (00) and the Key (which i don't have). When i press exit several times a scrambled or bad channel sign appear. I can see the free channels such as NASA and DNFYI, ONPPV, but i can't see the channels on 110 and 119. The guide works perfectly. Some people told me that if Nagravision 2 doesn't appear that indicates that the receiver is no longer usable. Other people told me to install the 284t (i don't know how and what that is. what do i need to connect my computer to the box? if i have to.) Please I need your sincerely help. I'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance. |

Silver Member Username: AsharfiPost Number: 326 Registered: Aug-06 | John, U got clounds background, right? That's the latest factory bin. Now, go back to dssworld and download bin 284T and................. Enjoy! Make sure when loading bin 284T, you enter "Pansat 2500" inside the STB Model section. good luck |
Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 5329 Registered: Jan-06 | Use Blacklist V 1.4 updater and then no need to enter model.. |

New member Username: Mtl_canPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-06 | hi ppl... i am a new member of this community... AV u told John "Make sure when loading bin 284T, you enter "Pansat 2500" inside the STB Model section" my question to u is...if its a fortec file then why do we have to use pansat 2500 stb model...pls tell me the reason...thankz |
Bronze Member Username: NalbouzPost Number: 77 Registered: Oct-05 | Because 284T is made for pansat clone and your Fortec will become pansat clone using 284T dont worry about this change. |
Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 5372 Registered: Jan-06 | There is NO such thing as a Fortec file for the Ultra..The ultra has no coders, but chancysand does modify Pansat bins/files to be used on the Fortec Ultra...since they are modified Pansat bins/files, then U can use Pansat loaders! |
Silver Member Username: AsharfiPost Number: 328 Registered: Aug-06 | LK and Naser, Thanks for supporting me. Suman, you have to enter "Pansat 2500" because Fortec Lifetime Ultra uses bins from Pansat 2500. There's this person who edits Pansat bin so they can work in Fortec Lifetime Ultra receivers. Is that answers your question? |
New member Username: Mtl_canPost Number: 2 Registered: Nov-06 | hi...guyz yes...thats cool answer for my question...thankz guyz...this will be my first time uploading a bin into my rceiver...i hope its safe enough...cuz i dont have anymore money to buy another one this year...284t..from |

Bronze Member Username: ColdgirlCanada Post Number: 34 Registered: Apr-06 | the Fortec Ultra and Pansat 2500 CLONES use the same" modified" genuine Pansat bins, which all end in the letter "T", such as 281T ...if it doesn't end in "T", then don't use it...be very careful and do NOT use unmodified genuine Pansat bins, which do NOT end with the "T"...those bins such as 281(unmodified bin) will damage your receiver, U must use 281T type bins!

Silver Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 826 Registered: Oct-05 | Jaz - if all that happened was that you reset factory setting, just go into the antena setup and reconfigure you antenas. Then do a Blind Scan and enter current keys. However, I would recommend that you load 284t which is currently rolling in keys fine. Either way you are going to need to reconfigure your antenas and do blind scan. |
Bronze Member Username: ColdgirlCanada Post Number: 36 Registered: Apr-06 | What is the purpose of the TP auto update that comes on while you are watching tv. When the tv comes back on, you are on a different channel. |
Silver Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 830 Registered: Oct-05 | When they change the location of a channel, lets Fox Chigaco from TP 12229 to perhaps TP 12239, the TP autoupdate locates the channel on the New TP and updates your channel list (that's what it's supposed to do, sometimes it doesn't and just becomes anoying). |
