Hi I have a few problems with my brand new Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra:

1. Sometimes, running the power scan several times WITH THE SAME SETTINGS I get different channels on the same satellite. Am I doing something wrong?

2. Many times, when I scan a transponder, with the exact settings as in the Lynsat tables, I get nothing, even though quite a few channels should be there. I tried that with many trnasponders.

3. Many times, when I try to edit a transponder, the receiver won't save it, or would not accept certain numbers. for example I tried on Anik F1, 3962 on tp 7A and it would accept only 3961. By the way, is one digit (last significant) going to make a difference?

4. Sometimes when I got to setup, there is no menu. I have to turn the receiver off, plug it out of the wall and get it back on.

5. After a long and tedious effort I was able to find the channels I wanted. Last night though, all of a sudden, I get the message "scrambled or bad channel". I see the signal level, which seems to be OK, however except for this message I get nothing.

After all these stories, do you think that the unit is defective?

Please advise.

Thank you

Naftali
