    trying to update software in a Coolsat 8000

    I recently purchased coolsat 8000 receiver, It has SW 11170A how do I get it to 2025A. I've ran upgrade 3.01 uploader and downloaded files from here. But I cannot get coolsat 8000 to recognize the upgrade. What is proper sequence? Turn receiver on off at what point? Thanks in advance!

    My Azbox Elite AMC 21 PBS Coordinates, It Is Slaved to a coolsat 6000 which controls H/V. I blind scanned feeds. I saved one vert and one horizontal and renamed channels (AMC 21 PBS Vert) and (AMC 21 PBS Horiz). When I want to watch LPB I put on (AMC 21 PBS Horiz) & the OETV, Montana PBS, PBS HD...

    Montana pbs impossible to catch

    I have a stand alone primestar 1 meter wide x 1 meter plus 10 cm tall dish. The lnbf 0.2 top is about at 10 o'clock instead of straight up. I have a stronger signal to my azbox elite when it is slaved to a coolsat 6000 than when it is connected directly. I have a power block switch to keep from...

    125 West AMC21

    Looking from the front of the dish I have the top of lnbf at around 10 o'clock (12 o'clock being straight up). I use a 0.3 standard lnbf. Most satellites lnbf is mostly straight up, 12 o'clock. But, since I have a stand alone dish just like yours I thought I would chime in. I receive OETV fine...

    BSC621 C/Ku & Azbox premium +

    I use a BSC621 lnb with circular plate removed, 4x DISEqC switch. I also had problems with a common focal point. One post mentioned putting a spacer on ku part to have a closer focal point, another post mentioned ku lnb can turn inside and get off centered. So I removed lnb and looked to modify...

    STAR CHOICE DISH

    What type lnb? Size Dish? If it has dual lnb (pick up sats 4 degrees apart) T5 97 (AMC 19) and W4 101 (AMC 4) would pick up some international, religious channels.

    thinking of buying a NEUSAT 9000 HD

    Neusat 9000 will run hot in any cabinet, I had to set outside cabinet by itself. With no other receiver on top. No more issues. Another thing about receiver, It will play ac-3 through audio video, coax. It will play sound on pbs feeds on amc 21. This receiver had several updates, converting to...

    This receiver has issues sure, for a cheap price, it works good if you slave it to a Coolsat 5000 or 6000. picks up HD 4:2:0. I scan with coolsat, then enter found coordinates in. Sports feeds in 4:2:0 format, G16 abc hd, AMC 1 ion hd, plays fine, etc.. If you have a tv with several inputs...

    Neusat HD 9000 Receiver Review

    Sat lnb to coolsat lnb input then loop out to 2nd receiver. 2nd receiver will see whatever polarity coolsat is seeing. You can then use blindscan on coolsat to find signals. Put coolsat on desired signal, push ok button on coolsat remote. you can see coordinates to enter into second receiver...

    Looking for a Captain 8000HD manual

    I use the Captain 8000 (Converted Neusat 9000) as a slave to a coolsat 5000. Use it to pick up 2:0 hd feeds that the Coolsat can't pick up. No 2:2 though! I use the 2 user sats, one for ku other for c band. I will comment more if requested, as not much info on this receiver.
