Unregistered guest | Hi am want a unit for my motor home while traveling the USA I have to keep a tight budget. I have been searching for a while and just when I think I know what I am doing and get set to buy I find more questions with even more choices. Fortec is best then pansat then it is winnexus and then I see people having problems flashing unit and I don't know what that is then I see units wide open with lots of stations and then I see plug and play then there is having to plug into a computer no0w and then to get service. BOY AM I CONFUSED. Can't I get a complete unit ready to go with lots of stations at a reasonable cost? I just want something good and no hassels. Therer are to many choices |

New member Username: Evonna_21Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-05 | PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! can someone help me. I have a Fortec Lifetime Ultra. I have downloaded the channels but on some of the channels it says scrambled or bad channel. Can anyone tell me the steps I need to do to get up and running. I have went to many sites and when I clicked on a place where the flash should be either the page couldn't be found or it was the wrong thing. I have went to al7bar/tk for instance and when I clicked to get the flash and the webpage stated that the page couldn't be found or not authorized to view it. I have been messing with this reciever for four days and i'm completely drained. So to make a long story short can someone tell me where I can find the flash and the other software to get me up and running as soon as possible. Also, there was mention of codes that i've seen on several forums but when I go to channel edit to look for a code I don't see a menu bar for it. All that I see under channel edit is channel and radio no codes no where. If someone could help me i'd really........ appreciate. I'm lost. Thank you in advance. |

New member Username: FurboxPost Number: 2 Registered: Oct-04 | You need to download and install the latest bin file for the Ultra. Don't worry about channel lists until you get the unit flashed with the latest bin. Once that's done, the code option will appear. Here's where you can find the bin: |
