The USALS issue. With the Fortec you have some empty sat entries which are for user entry. They come with 0.0 as the location and I have yet to find where in the receiver to set this value. Was kinda hoping to be able to make this entry so that USALS would utilize it for autolocation of the sat. Another issue I have with the Fortec is being able to delete a sat. I have yet to figure that one out either. I can overwrite it but what if I want to just blow it away? A perfect example is the Asiasat entry. For me useless and it has the USALS location entered. So I can always rename the sat and point it elsewhere but the USALS entry is still there which would not be correct for the sat entered.

Another reason for deleting sats would be installs that do not need many of the sats. Example a customer who wants only the Spanish language channels out there. I have found it is far less confusing for them if I only program the sats that have the channels. A step further would be to just eliminate any sats they do not need.
