Factory Reset for Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra
|
New member Username: SliknikPost Number: 2 Registered: Feb-07 | Hi, I am fairly new at programming my receiver and was hoping to get some advice. I would like to do a factory reset on my Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra receiver which is running as a Pansat 2500A clone with the 289T bin. My question is that being a Fortec running as a Pansat clone, would I need to install the Fortec factory bin or the Pansat factory bin, and would conducting a factory reset, remove the Pansat 2500A clone software from it, or will that still be there. Like I said, I am fairly new at this with very minimal knowledge on all of this, if someone could provide me with step by step guidance on how to perform this task, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much. |

New member Username: SliknikPost Number: 3 Registered: Feb-07 | Hi guys...thanks for your reply...the reason for the reset is because i am unable to get all the channels such as zeetv, zeecinema, b4umovies, abc, nbc, cbs, some ppv movie channels and so on...i've tried doing a satellite scan and a blind scan and so on but nothing brings these channels back, i thought by doing a factory reset and scanning for channels again, i would be able to pick up some of these channels...any ideas guys?...thanks again |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2023 Registered: Jun-06 | Nirmit: I have posted and reposted the differences between 289T and 290T. You will NOT get the channels you want with 290T bin. 290T BIN is either DN_290T or BEV_290T. With either of the two you will get some Indian channels, but not all, e.g with the BEV version you will get SET, but not ZGUJ and vice versa with the DN version. |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2025 Registered: Jun-06 | I have 61.5W and 110W. I get 1-2 PPV on 61.5 and over 15 PPV and 10 VOD on 110W using 289T on a clone. To the best of knowledge, PPVs were shifted from 119 to 110 about 5-6 weeks ago. I have put a parental lock on 1 PPV adult and 5 other adult channels. |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 2026 Registered: Jun-06 | Scanning: Nirmit and Ken - you obviously have some channels and missing others. So you definitely do not need a factory reset or factory BIN. I find it best to do a "Blind scan" and turn auto update off. Even with a Blind scan, on two different types of receivers, I found that ZeeTV was missing, and I had to add it later using a TP scan. If loading a new BIN fails, you may need to add the factory BIN first and then install the new BIN. Again, even for that procedure, I found it easy enough to install a 280T or 281T and then install 289T or 290T. After over 100 BIN installations in the Pansat clones and in Sonicviews, I can comfortably say that not once have I needed to put in a factory BIN, nor have I needed a factory reset. |

It's from Fortec STAR's website and the credit goes to them. This file will show you how to download bins properly, etc. It's in PDF format, which means you need Acrobat Reader to view this file.
