My Lifetime Ultra just lost all of its programming

I have a Lifetime Ultra, and I was doing some power scans, trying to find new things. Everything was fine, until one day I turned it on, and none of my channels would work. I went to the antenna setup screen, and I checked the satellite settings, and everything was disabled, hence why the dish was not moving to the appropriate satellite. I redid the USALS settings, and everything was fine. Two days later, same thing, so I went in and checked again, and this time, all of my satellite angles were off, and I mean OFF. T5 at 7700 degrees, IA6 at -4271, etc. Very weird!

So I did a complete reset of the box, and started over. Eveything was fine for a couple of days. Yesterday, I try to check a channel on G13, and nothing. Go back to the antenna setup, and all of my satellites are unselected, nothing there. Even my coordinates are gone. I have to start over, again.

Ideas? Bad box? Time to take it back to Sadoun and switch it out? Or is it something else?

Thanks

have you flashed your receiver with the latest factory firmware?

No i have not.

Tried to reprogram it again yesterday. After a scan of T5, I got nothing but a frozen box.

Time to take this guy in for being sick I guess. :mozilla_frown:
