I live alone (well me and my dish farm) so I have to reroute it to my moms who lives nearby..really wanted to play with it this weekend but I guess I have to wait

What works for me in this situation is to pick up the package at will call. There is a UPS depot approximately five miles from my place.

So after getting a signature required delivery notice, I call up the 800 number and tell them the door tag / tracking number. They hold it at the local place for pick up. Usually it is picked up the next day after initial delivery attempt....

My Coolsat 7100 also hangs when it finds a 4:2:2 feed while blind scanning.

Will this hog do PAL, handle 220V? If so, I'm grabbing one and taking it to Europe.

I just picked up one of these receivers, it still has the old firmware, it is brand new, I have a couple of questions: Is there anyway to do manuel PID inputs on this, and where can I get new/different firmware for it?
Thanks

You'll probally have to go to a hack site to get firmware as i don't think nuesat's did any updates for a long time. And even at the hack sites the newest you'll find is from 2008. But, still better than the factory.

If I did go to a hack site how would I know which one to get?
Thanks again

I think patch 14 was the latest. The factory had some issues with not finding channels during a scan. You can also convert it to a Captain. But, i don't think it'll be any better.

Patch 15 I think I found it, does this patch allow you to enter PIDs manually?
Thanks again

I don't think it does. As far as i remember it just helped find the channels that it missed during a TP scan.

**TMair** · 03-16-2010 02:34 PM

Haven't done the update yet, I like this unit, the color is great, I have found most of the channels that I like to watch, found some HD channels, it will do AC-3 so that allows more channels, but I can't believe any one would make a unit that you could not do manuol PIDs that just drives me crazy.
