Angry Fortec Mercury II vs Ultra - memory screwup

My first problem was several weeks ago when I found out that the clock is not really a clock, but a device that operates on the clock signals coming off the satellite.

On the IA5 satellite you can see the clock change everytime you change the channels. Nobody transmits time signals properly!

Now, my unit will not retain the settings I make to record programming.

Plus, the settings default to 2003!

I think Fortec dropped the ball on this unit. I liked the old unit I had (Lifetime Ultra), and I thought this would be another good unit. But, I am angry about the performance of ths unit.

Somebody better make some changes to this unit and fast.

Mike
