I to am looking for info and as soon as I come across so good information I will share it with you.

For now you may want to do searches for these receivers: Fortec Star Lifetime, Fortech Ultra, Silver Bullet, Silver Bullet Enforcer, Coship and Black Bird.

YEp they are down. I would do like bar1135 says and wait to see if they fix the unit. They say they will and you will be able to flash the unit from your PC from now on. We will see. B4 you had to flash your BB witih someone elses BB to update... NOw thats not too handy. If they fix this problem I will have a lot of faith in the manufactures. If not, I guess we will all be proud owners of the "Blackbird Boat Anchor".
I ordered one and haven't received it yet... I am not pissed, I test about everything out there and If this one goes tits up , I guess that is the way it goes.
We will find out very soon wheter the BB is worth the dough or not.

Thanks. I may just go ahead and buy one of the dishes they offer too. I have a round dish.

i was thinking about getting a fortec lifetime which can be flashed directly from my computer.on another note, would a dishnet dual lnb work on a dtv dish and be able to pick up both 119 and 110?
