Ok. That must have been what I was thinking of. Thank you.

I have a winegard hd8200u antenna that I recently purchased. I remember reading something about an antenna being misengineered and requiring a simple modification to increase signal strength. I thought it was the hd 8200u or 8200p but I can't seem to find any information. If anyone has any...

Hey Just got a Coolsat 8100HD. ($50 shipped) I have loaded the latest factory software. I am wondering if anyone has a recent channel list they could share. The lack of blind scan is no fun...

I think it is just as likely that the states don't seem to know what is going on in the rest of the world, or they are putting a twist on the stories.

It was getting out of control. I had: TV DVD CS5000 XBox Sound VCR a/v input selector PC Remote Now I have 2 URC-8820 programmed for everything PC Remote - (some of the functions - ie mouse - cant be programmed properly into the URC-8820)

I noticed a children's channel is still needed. Smile of A Child TV is on 97W Ku right now and has 100% children's programming.

You will receive the stuff on Ku. C band generally needs a 6ft or larger dish. There are tons of channels on 97W Ku so that sat is a good choice!

I think I might know. No channels scanned into the CS? Possibly combined with the fact that it was not hooked up to the TV? And also a note - you can't JTAG the Coolsat 5000.

Good news! CRTC Approves "in part" FreeHD Canada Mediacaster Magazine - Broadband & Content - CRTC Approves FreeHD Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2010-61 For those to lazy to read, it sounds like Free HD needs to clarify a few things and resubmit, but it looks like this will probably go ahead! The...

I have seen similar problems where the CS5000 will not boot. I have never had a problem using the loader to load the factory software, or the software from http://ftafirmware.freehostia.com You don't have to press the power button on for the loader to upload the firmware. But if it loops as soon...

Things I would tell a friend to get them interested in FTA: It's free - no subscription fees. You can see news from a non-american perspective (Al Jazeera English, Russia today) Quite a few decent Christian channels. (JCTV) Sports feeds.

Stone, You missed the FreeHD thread. There is a lot of information including the CRTC hearings broken down in this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/173307-bell-proposes-new-freesat-service-9.html#post1941015
