has anyone ever heard of a fortec dynamic and which model is it equal to? is it possible to convert that model?

jimmyhat1968 fortec may be long and gone, if you want tv, then I would look at nfusion at this time and IKS as that is the only way at this time to get tv. There are a few others, however, all others require hubs with the receivers and nfusion has hub already built into unit. Hope this helps

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.So love the people who treat you right.Love the ones who do not,just because you can.Believe everything happens for a reason.If you get a second chance,grab it with both hands.If it changes your life,let it.Kiss slowly.Forgive quickly.God never said life would be easy.He just promised it would be worth it.

You do not have to be crazy to be my friend, but it sure helps.................

Yes it's a cheap fta receiver for true fta around $ 125, if you are looking for a true fta sat it's ok but any receiver will work for true fta. Here some more info about it.



The Fortec Star Dynamic Satellite Receiver is a powerful satellite receiver ideal for satellite enthusiast. This new model has component out. The receiver has an easy-to-use Menu, yet is feature-rich. Dynamic comes with a comprehensive Power Scan for blind searching satellites. Users can back up their channel list before upgrading the software, and then restore the channel list, all from within the receiver’s own menu. The front panel has 8 buttons allowing complete control of the receiver’s functions without the use of the remote. The back panel has all the connection options you would need, with RCA composite jacks, component jacks (Y,Pb,Pr), and an S-video connection.

What does BLIND SEARCH (aka SMART or POWER SCAN) mean? It means that the receiver will do an automatic scan of the incoming satellite signal in small steps for active symbolrates to determine if there are any live transponder signals transmitting Free to air TV or radio channels. In this special search feature, the receiver will not only identify the frequency but also the symbol rate, polarity, FEC, and PIDS. It will then store these transponders and any FTA channels it finds in its memory. Any encrypted channels it finds will not be displayed, instead you will see "BAD or ENCRYPTED SIGNAL". These are not FTA and will require subscription.

The BLIND SEARCH feature comes in handy if a channel has relocated to a new transponder or if you have a motorized C and/or KU band dish and enjoy surfing the satellites for available FTA channels.

Watch Free-to-air International & ethnic TV and Radio Channels on Telstar 5 satellite, Galaxy 10R, AMC4, Galaxy 3C, and other satellites. High quality and fast system! One of the fastest consumer receivers in the market today. Switches channels in a fraction of a second.
