View Full Version : FortecStar Lifetime Ultra: help with motorized setup - no video/audio

:cry: I don't get any video/audio from free-to-air channels, and cannot lock onto ANY channels from any ECHO satellites after flashing.

I've had my FortecStar Lifetime Ultra installed with motorized 36" dish, universal-1 LNB and had no problem viewing free-to-air channels, or locking onto scrambled Echo 110+119 channels.

Now that I flashed the receiver using Windows 2000 and straight-through serial cable with the following files:

Al7bar FTA Ultra_060110_290_api.bin
boot_Al7bar FTA Ultra_ver07.bin

I boot fine, dish turns to proper satellite (IA5, SatMex, ECHO etc) but I get no video or audio on my saved channels although the signal is normal. I cannot lock onto ANY channels on ECHO satellites although the signal is high and locked; after scanning ECHO 110 or 119 I get "0 programs found."

WHat am I missing? I think I should be able to at least see the unscrambled channels as before!

Please help.
Thanks
