The only way to know if you are getting signals from the right bird is to scan it and then check the channels you are getting with Lyngsat. Your receiver doesn't know what satellite your dish is pointed at. Does your Fortecstar Classic have one or two bars at the bottom of the screen to tell you your signal strength, quality?
