My recent purchase of a
Mercury II FTA receiver, is a nightmare getting it to load channels from a satellite. After some ten or so tries, it has it's problems-- a run-a-way train wreck.
As the commercials--advertisement states. If you own a GM automobile that need repairs, take it to Mr. Goodwrench. So, with this unknown "pain in the backside" situation. It would appear-- take it to similar Mr. Goodwrench.
Given the fact this Fortec receiver unit was manufactured in So. Korea, and probably was somehow got past the quality control inspector, and should have been ****-canned. ( That's an old US Navy term for sending it to Deep Six). So, the best logic here, take it back to it's original destination-- the factory. I'll just hop on the silver bird, with ticket in hand showing next stop Seoul, So. Korea. In the box will be this infamous--Fortec Star Mercury II, aka a "****-canned" piece of US junk metal sent to Korea to be sent back as a bona-fide working genius in need for a replacement set of "spark plugs" to make it past the working stage.
Some would say, why spend a thousand dollars on a piece of metal with a printed circuit board that cost on $109.00 +s/h to get it back to the factory. That is a good question... however, it's the principal of matter to show up at the factory and slap the inspectors with it.
Enough said'...
