Hey friends,

Some people are having problems loading the new bin into their Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra. If you're one of them, then please read everything that is below CAREFULLY.

You need RS 232 female-female serical cable. (Straight Cable for Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra)

Click on this link: www.dsscentral.net (remove * from the link) and click on File Archive at the top left hand corner and then click on "Other FTA". Then, click on "Fortec" and select the file name "Clone Fix Pantec - Fortec X-85BL 060297 279T db api(N)" and download it.

How to load bin from your PC into your Fortec Lifetime Ultra:

Open the loader and select the file that you downloaded from www.dsscentral.net. Type "Pansat 2500" where it says STB Model. Click on download to transfer the bin file to your receiver. Make sure that your receiver is on and you've connected the serial cable from your PC to your receicver. If you get this message "Flash Update Failed...", then please select different COM port from the top. Make sure that you'tr using RS 232 female-female serial cable. (Staright cable)

I'm telling you people to put "Pansat 2500" inside the STB Model area bcause if you put "Lifetime Ultra", it's not going to work.

The information that is above, is for Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receivers ONLY. If you're still having any kind of problems, please post them or email me. My email address is : asharfivig@msn.com

Good Luck!

Shokaran,

I am really not familiar with USB serial cables. But I think that you put one in your PC and the other with 9 Pins, to your receiver. Make sure you have the correct wire because there are a lot of wires that looks exactly like yours. Everything will be easy if you have a Desktop computer. Do you have a place where you can plug a 9 pin serial cable? If you're laptop is very new, then you will not have it. Just buy a modem from a computer store which converts USB into 9 bin serial cable.

Hey Moddy,

You have Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra, right? New bin and the original loader is available on www.download-dssnetwork.co.nr. The bin is working good and all PPV, Adult channels, etc are working.

Go to www.download-dssnetwork.co.nr and download the bin and enjoy TV.

Hey Pannu,

Are you sure you have the correct serial cable?

Some receivers use RS 232 female-female Staright cable and some use RS 232 female-female Null cable. Which receiver do you have?

Hi Asharfi

Why Classic lifetime is not up? Where is the fix for that receiver! Now I am seriously thinking to buy Viewsat because it is proved that the classic lifetime is the latest receiver updated in the world of FTA.

Cordially

Hey Djibo,

If you're seriously planning to buy a new receiver, then buy Viewsat Platinum or Extreme. They're the best receivers so far, and their files/fixes comes fast.

Hey Moddy,

Yesterday, that website's server was down. Today, it's up and running. That website got a new look. Bins for Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra and Pansat 2500a are there and more will come soon. I'm also helping the admin improving that website. So, go to www.download-dssnetwork.co.nr, and if you see some kind of advertisement, then click on "Skip Ad" at the top right hand corner. And if you still get ads, then click "Refresh". After the webpage is loaded click "Refresh" again. Then click on Fortec Star Files and download the latest fix.

I also downloaded the fix for MY fortec star lifetime ultra and it's working excellent.

good luck

John,

You have successfully downloaded the latest fix? If yes, then go to MENU and click on "Factory Reset", this will delete all the channels. Then re-scan your all satellites. And if you still get nothing, then enter the following keys:

Key 00:
24 D2 1E 6D 11 F0 95 1A 6F 74 6E BD BC C6 92 54
Key00 - (active)
Key 01:
51 1C 68 07 3A E0 1E CE D9 49 D0 52 E9 DB BE 0C

and turn autoroll-ON

Elvin,

The keys will work and you'll get only 1 or 2 local channels. But you try to download that bin to your receiver, you'll fry your receiver.
