I originally purchased the fortec ultra for its blind search capability. When i purchased a dish motor, it would not control it at all. The firmware version 2.29 would not run the dish motor. Diseqc commands were erratic and motor would move back and forth with no input from me. I did all of the recommended procedures - re-boots and re-sets, upgraded to firmware 2.44 per diem fortec's instructions using their loader program. UPload was successful and receiver appeared to work fine. Blind searched about 6 satellites approx 400 channels stored (total radio and tv combined). The receiver then loses satellite position data. Dish either moves to the wrong place or not at all. Positions were all previously stored and working. I called Fortec and their tech told me to do the factory setting menu-)1660 then the 0000 and the receiver re-set. Of course i had to re-scan everything. It lost position data again . I went through this 12 times and NOW ITS GOING IN THE DARN TRASH. I SHOULD SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER AND SEND IT BACK TO FORTEC AND SCATTER IT ON THEIR LAWN. My recommendation is stay with Coship 2300's and 5000 series free to air receivers. I have never had the FIRST issue with a coship. I have even done my own software upgrades myself with no problems what so ever . I WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM BUY ANTOHER COSHIP PRODUCT AGAIN. THIS RECEIVER HAS BEEN A BIG DISSAPOINTMENT! I have read a lot on this forum and others about the same common problems these ultra lifetimes have.ANYONE THINKING OF BUYING ONE FROM ANYWHERE THINK AGAIN....... YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR MONEY. THAT WAS JUST $200.00 STUCK UP A DUCK'S %*S. ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE "ENREGISTAR" B-S*** THAT SHOWS UP UNDER TRANSPONDER CHOICES - THAT DOES NOT BELONG THERE. "10000" UNDER DISEQC SETUP MENU - WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!!

GOD HELP YOU IF YOU SPENT YOUR GOOD HARD EARNED MONEY ON ONE OF THESE FORTEC ULTRAS.
