I have to correct my earlier post. I said put keys in and then do blind scan. You can't put keys in unless you have channel data. So if you have reset factory settings in your receiver, you'll need to scan first and then enter keys.
hello guys can someone tell me exact process to download files for lifetime classic frm dnupman software please tell me the process so that i dont toast my receiver
These instructions apply to all Multi-Star, Fortec Lifetime Ultra receivers using PANSAT compatible software.
Elliptical Dish Instructions
THE LNBS SHOULD BE POSITIONED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THEM. THESE POSITIONS ARE NOT MARKED. THE LNBS SHOULD BE TOUCHING IN THE MIDDLE, LEAVING A GAP ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE PLASTIC ADAPTOR ON BOTH SIDES ABOUT 1 INCH. YOUR MAST (pole) MUST BE 100% VERTICAL and PLUM in order to successfully locate BOTH satellites on 1 DISH. When standing behind the dish, the 119 Satellite is on the LEFT LNB, 110 satellite is on the RIGHT LNB.
Elliptical Dishes: set the SKEW to 67 degrees (Elliptical Dish); Please set your elevation to 32 degrees. (The marker is the edge of the inside bracket, painted red or silver, not the BOLT.)
DISH 500 ROUND dish: set the SKEW to 112 degrees. Please set your elevation to 32 degrees.
Connect the white wire to 110 LNB. Connect the black wire to 119. You will need a small connector to connect these wires to the long wire that goes to your FTA receiver. (this connector is not provided)
If this is a brand new receiver, or you have deleted all of your channels, you will be forced into the Menu. Select ENGLISH and press OK. Otherwise, Press MENU to begin your setup. Press OK on INSTALLATION / DISH SETUP, then Press OK on ANTENNA SETUP. Select EchoStar 6,8 (sometimes called Echo 8.10/ku or Echo 110 or similar name) Press OK. The satellite should now have a little checkmark beside it and the name of the selected satellite will appear in black on the left side of the screen. The orange cursor will now be visible on the right hand portion of the setup screen. You should see two bars near the bottom of the screen. The LEVEL indicator is on the TOP and the QUALITY indicator is on the BOTTOM. For our purposes, we are watching the QUALITY only, for the best signal possible. (above 60). You are now ready to rotate your dish and achieve the best signal possible on the Quality bar.
Start by sweeping the dish from the SOUTH of the sky towards the WEST, until you find a signal. (Watch the QUALITY BAR on your TV SCREEN) Once found, try to make small, subtle adjustments to your dish to improve the signal as much as possible. Fine tune the satellite by making very small adjustments to ALL THREE VARIABLES (Azimuth, Elevation and SKEW) You may wish to tighten your bolts at your best signal strength. Now, let's check what satellite signal we actually are receiving by DOWNLOADING the active channels from the satellite service. We will now download your channels from the satellite.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD CHANNELS FROM A SATELLITE
VERY IMPORTANT SETUP INFORMATION
We will downloaded each satellite individually to try to reduce the complexity of this setup. It is very important that you understand you DO NOT NEED TO DISCONNECT THE WIRES FROM THE SWITCH AND DOWNLOAD EACH SATELLITE individually ever again. (Unless we are helping you trouble-shoot your installation) You must set your DISECQ switch settings correctly FIRST, from now on, if you wish to re-download channels. Echo 8,10 uses DISECQ switch # 1. Echo 7 uses DISECQ switch #4.This will not change unless you physically change the wiring on the switch, which you should not do.
** If you have previously aimed your dish, and are now redownloading channels only, please set your DISECQ FIRST **
NEW CUSTOMERS: -> You are already in the ANTENNA SETUP MENU. Select the EchoStar 8,10(110) on the menu by pressing [OK]. On the right side of the screen your settings should be as follows (without using the DISECQ switch)
LNB TYPE: Standard
LNB Frequency : 11250
22 Khz: OFF
DiSeCq: OFF <- set to # 1 when instructed to do so.
SKEW: -45 <--- ignore this setting
TP: [ 1 ] 12223 v 20.000
Positioner Settings: Disabled
Satellite Scan: ALL
Now Press OK to begin scanning for channels.
This will go to a new menu, showing TV channels on the left, and RADIO on the right. It is now downloading all active channels to your receiver. We are verifying that you have the correct signal expect to see PCLAS, PELIC channels appear quickly. If not, cancel by pressing EXIT. If the download is correct, allow it to finish. Press exit to return to a full-screen tv channel (not a preview window).
You must now power off your receiver (flip black switch on back of receiver to do this or unplug power) before disconnecting the 110 LNB and reconnecting the wire to the 119 LNB. Not powering off your receiver could cause a spark/short circuit and this will void your warranty and could KILL your receiver. Now that you have connected the 119, continue as below:
Now Go back into the ANTENNA SETUP MENU by Press MENU to begin your setup. Press OK on INSTALLATION / DISH SETUP, then Press OK on ANTENNA SETUP. Select the Echostar 7 (119) on the menu by pressing OK. On the right side of the screen your settings should be as follows (without using the DISECQ switch)
LNB TYPE: Standard
LNB Frequency : 11250
22 Khz: OFF
DiSeCq: OFF <- set to # 4 when instructed to do so.
SKEW: -45 <--- ignore this setting
TP: [ 2 ] 12239 <---- This must be set to find this satellite signal
Positioner Settings: Disabled
Satellite Scan: ALL
Now Press OK to begin scanning for channels.
This should go to a new menu, showing TV channels on the left, and RADIO on the right. It is now downloading all active channels to your receiver. To verify you have the correct signal, channels BET, BRAVO and ANIMAL should appear in a minute or two. If not, cancel by pressing Exit. Once the download has completed successfully, power off the receiver.
Now you must connect the DISECQ switch provided. The Echo 8,10(white) wire connects to port #1, the Echo 7 (black wire) connects to port #4. The Long wire from your receiver connects to the port labelled RCV.
*** You MUST go back into the antenna setup as described above and change the Disecq setting for each satellite from OFF to the appropriate number ( 1 for 110, 4 for 119 ). Press exit on the remote and press OK to allow the receiver to save the changes when you leave each satellites setup screen. ***
You are now complete the aiming portion of these instructions. You may also wish to SORT your channels according to your preferences. Valid choices are ALPHABETICAL, DISH NETWORK pre-defined order, Transponder order ...)
To sort channels in DISHNETWORK order (recommended)
Press SAT Select ECHOSTAR Package (also called DISH PACKAGE) Press OK Select any channel from the list; Press OK. (this confirms your selection)
Your channels will now appear in the GUIDE/EPG or CHANNEL list in DISHNETWORK order. (ie. PPV channels are 500's)
