They've been showing some amazingly obscure movies between midnight and two a.m. each day. The broadcast quality of the movies is best described as "worn-out pirated VHS", but I've seen a couple of things I'd never seen before. The crappiness of the prints seems to add to the ambience somewhow.

When did it start doing this? Have you still got your sales receipt?

I love my Fortec Star 4400! I know it's not HD, but it does exactly what I want it to do! :)

Maybe TS-Doctor will "fix" the streams? Info here: _http://www.sat-universe.com/showthread.php?p=472187 Download here: _http://www.cypheros.de/dvb_e.html

After days of searching, I've finally found some software which will seamlessly (and losslessly) join the .dvr files from the Fortec Star 4400 into one large MPEG2 .ts file, ready for editing in VideoReDo Plus. It's called TS-Doctor and you can download it here...

Have you tried to reinstall the official firmware from the Fortec site? Can you still access all the menus on the box?

Have you now installed the latest firmware since last posting? Mine records fine. The main problem I now have with the FS-4400, is joining its ".dvr" output files into one big ".ts" file without glitches. I've been trying different software for days now. PVAStrumento seems to seamlessly join...

It was the wall-plate! All fixed now. :)

If you want to reset the Master Code on a Fortec Star 4400 try this: Menu System Setup Scroll down to Parental Lock but don't choose it (just highlight it) Press Red Button four times Press OK Input new Master Code as 0000 If you want to install decryption keys, try the software at this link...

That link is now dead. The new URL is: h**p://www.al7bar-soft.com/phpforum/index.php :)

Oh. I can answer this, although you've probably figured it out by now. The default factory setting is for subtitles to be permanently on. To turn off the subtitles, you need the following path: Menu System Setup OSD Setting Change the "Subtitle Display" setting to "Off" and exit back out of...

Will do! :)

The box is fine. I took it to my parents' house yesterday, plugged in their old Sky Digital dish, and it scanned in 340 channels. So, it's either the dish alignment or wiring I suppose. An engineer's coming on Thursday to take a look.

I've just done the Blind Scan one last time... ASTRA 2A-B-D 10818 H 22000 OK ASTRA 2A-B-D 10936 H 22000 Failed ASTRA 2A-B-D 10389 H 27500 OK ASTRA 2A-B-D 11426 H 27500 OK ASTRA 2A-B-D 11488 H 24790 OK ASTRA 2A-B-D 11526 H 27490 OK ASTRA 2A-B-D 11565 H 27500 OK ASTRA 2A-B-D 10818 V 22000 OK...
