I'm a
Sadoun Satellite Dealer. I install in Sacramento California area. I used to offer the fortec 786NA model and I loved it. It's so easy to setup and very user friendly. Now since this receiver is no longer available I switched to lifetime ultra. It's a good receiver but I missed some of the 786 featurs like selecting more than one channel to be moved or deleted. fortec ultra seems to be slower at downloading channels and another problem with that is when you rescan the satellite you get the channels that you already have twice. on 786na you get only the new channel. Although you can get away with scannig one tp at a time but that is a long process. Transferring data to another receiver used to be as simple as turning the receiver on. With fortec ultra you have to be at the transfer data screen to do that.
Advantage of the Ultra over 786NA: Advanced scan.
