I would hold off on getting anything Free to Air such as Pansat or Fortec,
if you feel you must go with a Unit like this stay witha dealer supported
Item. My fortec Ultra has been down 3 weeks tomorrow and the only fix
available which came out monday is to flash my Unit to become a Pansat and
then I need a remote too. I have tried every Universal and not one works,
my feeling is this hole AL&bar software is Manufactures try to unload
product and once they have unloaded there products no more fixes. The is a
group try to reverse engineer the code and create some fixes, I personally
don't think they could hack themselves out of a card board box yet alone
hack this hack and create a new hack, they are also insulting and think they
are god. I personally if you were going to go this route to get a nexus -s
cDVB card they get all the same channels and have not went down and they are
half the prices of these IRD's and they have a guide none of the recievers
have a working guide. Hope this helps ya.
