Satellite Scan Question

Just purchased a FortecStar Lifetime Ultra STB from E-Bay. When it arrived, the only sats that had channels were Dish Network so I suspect that someone thought they could get programming with an FTA box. The firmware was factory, so I suspect that once they found they could not they sold it.

I scanned a few sats and tried to download the data with gTools but ran into some problems, so I did a factory restore.

I just finished scanning G 25 (this box calls it T6 but that isn't important). It found a bunch of channels called TV 201, TV 221, TV 303, etc. and the same with the radio side only they were called Radio xxx.

What channels are doing this? I did a blind scan to find active transponders and it found 23 then scanned those for channels. I specified FTA in the type where you could choose ALL or FTA. I don't recall those being there the first time, but, then again, I did not do a Blind Scan either.

Thanks!
