[QUOTE="Skip Channel, post: 148362, member: 175117"] The Fortec doesn't have much support (official or otherwise) the USB connection is apparently USB2 but it takes forever to upload/download even mp3 files, let alone video! And the software I used to accomplish that was actually meant for a Pansat receiver! I'd imagine the only way to get Cryptoworks is via a CAM. If you can get it cheap enough then it isn't a bad model IMHO but then it is not great either. It does have picture-in-picture which is good. It also has very flexible ways of hooking up the two tuner feeds (you can have two completely different DiSEqC dish setups going into each tuner and then for each sat you can tell it to look for tuner 1, tuner 2 or 'auto'). And the tuner pulls in weak signals better than my SkyStar1, SkyStar2, Comag PortyII or Lifetime Diamond. One bad thing to note (and it's the same on my Diamond) the Ultimate manages to corrupt the channel lists if I delete certain channels. Solution seems to be not to delete channels - not a great solution when you end up having hundreds of useless channels! To be fair this could be because my Fortec's are patched, I don't know.
