Just got my hands on one of these neat little receivers, anyone got any tips about which is the best version of the software to use with it. Ive loaded Al7bar 2.63 on it, but it seems to be very buggy - the receiver regularly locks up totally when it hits (any) scrambled channels, and it wont give me any signal on the high band - the 10600 setting on the lnb menu. It does work with the lnb set to 10750, although then of course all the frequencies are out..... | ||

My System: 80 cm(Astra 19.2 and Hotbird) 100 cm(Hispasat) 60 cm(Sirius) Fortec Lifetime Ultra |
The latest and so far best version is Al7bar 2.66. You can find it here in the FTA section: www.al7bar-soft1.com. There is also a MODIFIED Al7bar 2.64 version(TPS mod.) on www.groups.yahoo.com/group/Fortec/files (registration needed). Didn`t test that one yet..... krizz | ||

I'll just have to spend the afternoon playing with the satellite system  | ||

My System: 10 dishes, 3 receivers. | With that receiver I had to set up a LNB with 11250. (manually put it in with the remote in the antenna LNB set up - not the TP set up). Worth a try, you alway can change it back. I am learning that your satellite equipment are a bit differant over in Europe. It is a neat receiver but I have found that they do not respond all the same from date - to date codes. The most current ones made have trouble with high speed data to/from the PC so you have to slow down the transfer rate. Ones made before about November 2004 don't care how fast it is. | ||

My System: fortec ultra,dual legacy,ntsc |
Slow the baud rate dwn for xp or? by using the usb to RS232 converter w/gender adapter. Shouln't have a prob then, use stb or balcklist updater. AL7BAR.TK Also 269(NTSC),\not sure about PAL's latest but 269 includes EMCs' auto rolls and works well! Good luck. Hope this helps? Sorry, but 272 file is an EPG : just released and works!!! Slow..... but the wife is happy, so I'm happy!!!!

Swapped the LNB for an MTI and all was well. (I have also had similar problems with a Coship and Technomate T-1000D, although the Echostar has never had a problem) | ||

My System: 28e, 19e, 13e, 30w | How do you find the EPG, Analoguesat? I've got the Diamond version (which seems to be fairly similar as I have to enter 'LTA' to put the AL7BAR boot on it - which is the same as the Ultra). Also, have you tried it on widescreen channels - and if so what were the results? Cheers. | ||

Bad bit of ergonomic design there...... Another tip - the password to access the encryption systems to change keys try 1010. Dont really bother with w/s switching - I just set everything to 16/9 output | ||
