I have a fortec star lifetime classic ultra and the selected satellite, under the installation menu says new. There are a few others but not the ones i need. Is there any way to get the off of there? When i go to Antenna Setup and try to choose the ones i need it wont let me. Thanx in advance for any help i can get.

I can do a blind scan and get about 70 channels from the birds i need.....but thats all i get. I guess i will search around and see if there is anything i can do.

All i want to do is get echos*** birds and watch TV. What do you need to know. i had a ultra na that worked fine but the guy that lent it to me wants it back so thats why i got this one. when i first got it i was able to select the birds i wanted and it scanned fine, but my wife was mad cause some of the channels that she likes to watch wasnt there so i deleted all the channels and was gonna rescan and thats when all the "NEW" ones were in the selected satellite box.

OK i had the same problem with my fortecs ... I found that when I was using "channel master" or something similer .. IF YOU USED SOMEONE eles channel list ... they may have deleted all but the sats and channels they watch. .... I would recomend that you reset to fatory seting .. get rid of all the sats and channels that way... reload the fortecs factory bin... then load the newest bin... rescan for sats and channels and se what you get . hope this helps
