Currently just FTA sats ... were currently down waiting for a fix.
I prefer my Pansat2500A with blind search feature.

Hi! I live north of you ,I get the Seattle & Portland locals,mine were still viewable before I came to work,I have a fortec star myself but have flashed the pansat`s
pansat`s are better but for the money fortec are ok.

before I came to work .I was getting most of 110w some movie channels /some 119w most of 148w and all of 157w echo 4.
good luck...

if you get daddy a motor for his dish,he will be able to program up to 60 satellite locations and thousands of channels........buying a fta unit like the Pansat 2500 is really a waste unless you move that dish and surf some other sats/channels,guaranteed you dad wont be bored!

not moving a dss dish connected to a FTA unit is akin to having a cband dish and not moving it

all the dishnet channels arent down either...got to surf to find out which ones are still open

i surfed last night and ill be damn if i didnt find some fta locals from my hometown in Lexington,KY and im now living on the west coast..thats good news for me!
