This is the last time I'll post this and maybe you guys will take note:
If you flashed your receiver with the 282 bin using (windows 2000) and you are having problems flashing it's because of the operating system! You need to use either Windows XP or ME to flash your receiver.

Here is the deal - in the past you could flash with Windows 2000, however once you loaded bin 282 it caused a communication error. The only way to fix that was to change operating system on your pc! I had that problem and did just about everything you can imagine and once I changed operating systems, BAM, problem solved.

Can someone please help me? I am new to this whole thing and I know less than a novice.I followed instructions but still could not get my lifetime ultra box to work. I aligned the dish which shows to be getting signal from Echo 6, 8 and 7. I loaded the factory flash bin from the FORTEC website, went menu configurations, searched for the satellite signals I needed, installed a17bar FTA ultra_051106_284Ex_NTSC, scanned for channels( found over 400 channels). Here's the set back though. Anytime I click on a channel, the box works as if it's searching for the channel, a weird number like 8 shows on the box, then a fizzy screen shows up for about 5seconds, and then I'm back to a blank screen. It's like the box is rebooting or something, but I can't watch anything. I'm sorry to sound so ignorant about all of this, but I just started operating this box yesterday, and I know even less than a novice. What am I doing wrong? I'm willing to learn but I don't know where to start. Please help. Anyone? What I noticed is that when I tell the box to scan just FTA channels, it will scan and get only like 4 channels that I can view. However, when I tell it to scan all, it scans and gets the satellite channels, but they wont view, but do what I described above. It's like the box is not descrambling or something.Please help.

U can use the 256T bin also and start using pansat bins..

Post subject: 256t bin on fortec lifetime ultras

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

start with using the blacklist stb updater 1.3 to load the bin to your ultra

load bin 256T

pick sats you want to use (ex 110-119)

scan sats

set parental control to 0000 on code 2

set default keys

watch tv

thats it

I received 9pin female to 9 pin female cable with my receiver, but none of my computers have a 9 pin serial port. I suppose that should be the case with all new computers. What do I need to buy? There is one 15 pin Female serial port on my laptop.

I turned off my firewall but I cant seem to turn off the free AVG antivirus software. I tried with the firewall off and still got the flash update fail. I tried it with the box in the on mode and also tried with starting download as soon as it turned on. It must be attempting to do something as once it says failed and i click cancel the box turns off and on by itself. anyother suggestions?

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, go to Processes tab, look for avgamsvr.exe (AVG anti-virus) avgemc.exe (AVG e-mail scanner) and avginet.exe (AVG definition updater), highlite each process and press the "End Process" button on the bottom to termite it (don't worry it won't harm your os, all you'll have to do afterwards is just restart the AVG), try that and see if you'll have ant luck.

I don't know, I've never had a fortec, maybe you should try a different loader.

Anonymous - Once you've done all the above use the Blacklist loader. Last but not least, make sure you do the following:

- Turn Receiver off from the back (wait a minute or two and turn back on). Once the receiver boots up it will turn on.
- Turn Receiver off from the front (The middle button).
- Then commence to flash (if you use the blacklist updated it's the "FIX" button you press to flash).

Hi Guys,
Came across something I have never seen before. Not that I am very Old with flashing recievers and all, but atleast I haven't seen this before.

A friend of mine wanted to get his Fortec Lifetime Ultra flashed with Nov 7 keys. So he brought the reciever and I hooked it up just to see the previous file version and some information(I have a habbit of hooking the recievers up and look at some stuff before I flash). And to my surprise, the reciever does not have the same fortec Lifetime interface, but that of a Pantec reciever.

I don't know, how is this possible. I looked at it and in the System Information it is showing that on September 24, 2005 a Pantec Clone file 255 was installed. So not sure how this is possible, I thaught that the reciever will work if I flash the No Clone Kill - Pantec file for November 07.

So I did! But when I hooked it back up, there is still no image. I am not sure what is wrong. I am currently trying to do different scans and all, but I donot think its going to work.

So, if someone has been in the same situation, or have some suggestion please help out.

Thank You in advance.
Cheers!!

For all the guys having problems with channel lists and missing channels.... you need to use the program channel master and you need to upload a current channel list. There are some lists out there that people have spent time organizing all the channels and making them a user friendly list. So after you flash your reciever you load the channel list and you are all set. I attached a channel list that I last used to modify for myself, but you will need to download the program Channel Mater and read the instruction manual.

And for the guys causing trouble on these posts let me say in advance fuq you ! People do need to take the time to do some reading but we don't need you retards on here posting useless messages insulting people.

Hello,
I am new to this and I have read a great deal. I appreciate the help that is here, I just wonder what pleasure people get from being rude and ridiculous on the forum. Answer or not, but you have to be a little twisted to enjoy berating people who know less than you. I have a Fortec Lifetime ultra that I bought to be able to pick up Spanish channels and have since found that there is a great deal going on with the FTA. I don't know if I want to change the bin file on my Fortec, but at least here I find out where and how and what the risks are. For that, I thank those of you who help. We appreciate your feedback, and generally ignore the trash talk. Again, Thanks.

Just passing thru and noticed that a lot of peeps here are using the Ultra bin 284t3. DO NOT USE!! On many other fta sites this bin is banned. The bin is written to wreck Ultra's. Use bin 282t2 or 282t3 and you'll be okay. btw, try www dot ftatech dot net for good, impartial, safe files and info. There's a lot of weird stuff happening in fta recently and this site is small but very good. imho Good Luck.

Hi Gang. I (a newbee) have a new Fortec Ultra, installed yesterday, worked with FTA channels. Today loaded 2.82t3 and did scan but can't find any channels. Says no program after scan. Do I need to reload? Any ideas? Thanks

Just loaded (Albar FTA Ultra 121505 282t3 12H clock 12H clock New Keys.BIN) onto fortec Ultra made March 2005. It did not damage it , however when I reloaded the channel list after the bin file I got no channel reception. I reinstalled the dec 6 bin file and my channel list and all of the channels that I had before are back. STILL MISSING FOX, HBO-W,HBO-E. THERE MUST BE SOME KEY PROBLEM IN THE BIN. AS I LOST ALL CHANNELS. I DID GET THE PROGRAM AIRING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, SO I KNOW IT IS GETTING SIGNAL. PLEASE RESPOND THANX.

I cant for the life of me figure this out, I cant seem to get DN w/ my fortec lifetime ultra. I recently moved and setup my dish got 80 signal and 80 quality. Flashed w/(Al7bar FTA Ultra_120105_282t_api(NTSC)new keys.bin) and did a satillite scan and only receive a few expressvu channels, i have a small 18" dish w/ 1 lnb, I've tired everything i can think of, (flashing back to original settings, setting back to default setting before i flash) anyone got any suggestions??

Use the satellite finder file and align your dish to 110 or 119..Bev is 82 or 91,which U are presently aimed at, if U are getting expressvu channels..Files are at every DSS site,except here..U have to physically re-aim your dish..

I have a small problem, no matter what i do, i cant seem to get the list of satillites back out, rite now its only has 2 in my list, one at 118.9W (it should say Echostar 7 119W and Echostar 6,8 110W, but it say Echo 119 118.9W and Echo 110 109.9W, which i assume should be correct ones, do you how i can get the list of satillites back??

Hi all, I have a lifetime ultra reciever and i haven't used it in a few months cause we moved, what is the best way of aiming the dish? is there any tricks that make it easy?

Dean, No real easy way of doing it, just climb on u'r roof and check out what direction the dishes your neighbors are pointing, directtv and DN are facing the same direction, DN u'll just have to play w/ it.

Does anyone know the weakest transponders on 110 & 119 for dish peaking purposes. Also have 2 separate dishes running through an Expressvu SW21 switch(doesn't look like the the SW21 I see on the net)to a fortec lifetime ultra. My channels are intermittent, sometimes they are there and sometimes it say bad or scrambled channel(when it does this all I do is change the channel and go back & it works). I think it is either a switch or LNB problem. Have done a lot of reading, but cannot seem to find my answers. When I did the blind scan I did them with each dish hooked to the rx one at a time. Should I have done them while both were hooked up through the switch? Once I know my dishes and switches are configured correctly I will be able to move on, cause right now it works like sh*t....

Do I have to change any settings(such as 22khz) for either echo6 or 7 in the Fortec to work with my switch?

Thanks.....

It surprises me why people with these units don't do a google or yahoo search for Fortec or whatever. You come up with a thousand sites that have all the information you need to get your units up and running and it's free. If they didn't make it free and didn't keep it up to date, they couldn't sell more units. And if you can find your way here, don't tell me you can't find those sites.

for fortec lifetime ultra

I made time last night to go through the following steps and record them.
using bin.....

Al7bar FTA Ultra_112005_284t3_12H_clock_api(NTSC)

How to change the NAGRA2 Key codes
(for Fortec Lifetime Ultra only)

1- Press Menu button on your remote control

2- Press right arrow key 2 times Channel Edit

3- Press down arrow key button 2 times, press OK (Code) enter 1010

4- Press the down arrow key to Set Default Key, click OK

5- Press the up arrow key to Nagravision click OK

6- On your top left you should see Nagravision-1...if not, then you've got the wrong BIN version.

7- Press right arrow key until you see Dish Network on top

8- Press the down arrow key once to Key Number

9- Press right arrow key 2 times the from Key Number 00 - 01 - 00

( Now take notice that on your top left you should see Nagravision-2 now )

10- Then press DOWN button key to change the keys manually on Key Number 00

11- After you have changed the 00 Nag. 2 keys press the up arrow to the key number and press the OK button to save the 00 keys (you cannot save the keys when your cursor is in the key area)

12- Press the right arrow button to change to 01 Nag. 2

13- Enter new Keycode, do the same procedure to enter the the keys on Key Number

14- After you have changed the 01 Nag. 2 keys press the up arrow to the key number and press the OK button to save the 01 keys (you cannot save the keys when your cursor is in the key area)

(Note: remote control key letters equivalent)
A = Sat, B = i, C = Tv/Radio, D = Pause, E = Audio (speaker), F = EPG

15- Hit EXIT once and check that you haven't turned the key code off.
If you locked the KEYCODE (OFF) use this default password 1668 to turn it on.

16- Press EXIT key 2 more times to exit to the channels.

You should now be able to begin your testing

Listen up!

With a Fortec Lifetime Ultra, you ONLY have two choices for bin files:
1) 282t bins (whichever key update)
2) 256t or c bins (again, whichever key updates)

DO NOT TRY to use anything other than the 282 or 256 bin files.

You have been warned!

Pro's and Con's

282t Pros
A) Colors are bright, and controls from remote seem normal
B) Safe to use with all versions of Lifetime Ultra

282t Cons
A) When installing new bin file (when keys change), you need to do a complete re-set of the satellites, channels, etc.
B) No manual key change is possible with this bin file series.

256t or 256c Pros
A) Manual key change is possible. Method is well documented.
B) If you rename satellites correctly, you can get Dishnetwork channel listings to show correctly.

256t or 256c Cons
A) Colors on TV are too dark. Not as bright a picture for some reason. Very annoying!
B) Remote menus not as straightforward as for the 282 version.

Also, so far I have NOT seen any evidence that either of these two bin series have "autoroll" feature. That is, the ability to automatically detect and change the new Nag2 keys when they come around. Just not available with the Fortec Lifetime Ultra.
