    Difficulty updating firmware on Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra - please please help...

    Hi all, Please can someone help me with this. I bought the receiver without a remote and then bought a remote but it doesn't seem to respond. I decided to try and update the firmware but using an rs232 cable I bought specially made for updating satellite boxes I seem to be unable to do it...

    Help with a USB device and Blaze DTV app

    I got over 700 channels on the Astra 2 satellites the other day which included all the Freesat channels as well as encrypted ones. I wasn't aware of anything in the software that would prevent you receiving the channels if it's all set up correctly for the LNB etc with the settings in the...

    Blaze DTV - Eurobird/Astra 2 separated?

    Hi all, I used to have both the above together in Blaze DTV but when I got a new laptop and reinstalled it it's now separate so that I either have a list of channels on one or the other as they wipe the channel list when scanning. Does anyone know how to get the two together again? Many thanks

    Fortec Star without remote...

    Hi all, I picked up a Fortec Star Lifetime Ultra at a boot sale for about 50p or something and have plugged it in and it seems to work. The only problem is it's got loads of Telstar channels stored but I have a sky dish. Is it possible at all to do a blind search without a remote or should a...

    Channels received through my USB DVB-S Box

    Hi all, Aside from issues with my DTV Apps, I've managed to get 306 DTV FTA channels through my Sky dish. Does that tally up with others here? It does actually include some duplicates though and all different regions for BBC/ITV etc. There were a few I kept trying for, Anime TV, ITV HD and Dave...

    Hi all, I'm having problems with the driver for my satellite box, usually ntdll.dll errors but also blue screens from time to time. The driver is an LME-BDA-DVBS manufactured by Leaguer Micro Electronics. I tried their latest driver and still having problems. I wondered if someone could...

    Only finding 5 channels on progdvb?

    I had a reply from Blaze about the app keep crashing and they suggested switching off DEP in Control Panel. I have XP Home so had to edit my boot.ini file but that didn't work. As it crashes when scanning all frequencies, the only way of getting channels is to scan each frequency individually...

    Only finding 5 channels on progdvb?

    Cool, I've downloaded it. It looks good but when I selected Eurobird/Astra 2 and scanned it didn't find anything at all. For signal levels it says at the top L=75% Q=83%. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

    Only finding 5 channels on progdvb?

    Cool, hadn't tried that one, I'm downloading it now. I've tried both ProgDVB and something called 'Winclip' and both, although recognising the device, are only finding 5 channels. I gave up on DVBDream as that kept saying it couldn't initialise the device.

    Only finding 5 channels on progdvb?

    It's a little black non-descript thing from China. It uses the BDA Driver. The annoying thing is it picked up 300+ channels in Blaze DTV Player but for some reason (despite wiping my laptop and reinstalling XP three times) it keeps crashing with ntdll.dll errors when scanning...
