Hi all, Hope all is well with everyone in this time of the pandemic. Posting in the forum after a very long time (close to a decade). I pulled out my old Coolsat 5000 Platinum receiver from storage and tried to boot it up to check. It doesn't boot anymore and I see only "Remote" LED in the...

My apartment provides free cable with 80 channels, all analog and no QAM. They sent out a notice last week saying that they are adding few HD channels and moving some analog channels to accommodate the changes. after the changes I noticed that they have moved Analog channels 2 to 13 to...

ABC moved from UHF (24) to VHF (7) yesterday and I lost 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 which were being received earlier. I saw similar comments in ABC website also. H.ope they change back to UHF

Either scanning through Transedit or from DVBViewer does not tune APIDs. APIDs appear as 0 in all the channels except PBS Montana channel. I added APIDs in Channel editor and it does not help at all. Any help is appreciated. This happens with one of ATSC channel aswell.

I would like to know of any channels in 123W transmit CC. I am not getting any CC on my Coolsat 5000 connected to Samsung LCD through component video cables.

I have been using Channel Master 4228 for past 15 days and I had frequent braks in the signal. Factory assembled connections are 1 to 3 and 2 to 4. To try, I changed the connections for 1to 4 and 2 to 3. I found some improvement in the signal qualitty, though I lost one channel. Technically...

I recently moved to another apartment and luckily got one with patio facing south. It was worth the month long delay getting an apt with South facing patio. There are two trees 10 feet away from my patio and b/w the trees, I am able to get 95° W to 123° W. There are few branches, that I think...

I have SG2100 motor mounted on a tripod. I have failed miserably in arresting the rotation motor mounting bracket about the mounting pole. I thought it might be due to under tightening. After aligning it to my reference sat, I tightened the U-Bolt (Motor mounting bolt) and motor bracket started...

Has any one clue about Coolsat 8000? It is supposed to be HD capable. Quick search on Google tells that it is $399. But the website looked fishy!

I came across two websites which have product similar to Coolsat. Hub-tech.com has all the products similar to Coolsat products with PAL system and UK (scart) connectors. Clarke-Tech.com has different versions of Coolsat 5000. Hub-Tech seems to be company whichis manufacturing these STBs in Korea.

There is one solid C-Band dish on a building, which is going to be demolished this month. I think it is about 8 or 10' and in excellent shape. White Color. It is opposite to Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale, CA on Arques Avenue. You may check with the contrctors working there. You may get it free :)

Last Friday I was watching a show on NBC , both satellite feed and the cable relay. Still picture and brightness was better in the STB and moving picture had better quality on the cable. I am 100% sure that the local NBC was using the same signal from the satellite feed and comcast was relaying...

1) How accurately the motor elevation needs to be set? I made the pole plumb (checked on pole and motor mounting bracket) and peaked the signal on 97° W as west of 105° is blocked for me. Now I am not able to lock channels on SBS-6 and AMC-6. I tried both Usals and 1.2 in vain. When I move it...

Thanks to Sadoun and Satelliteguys:) . I got the Digipower Sg2100 motor on Wednesday afternoon and installed it in the evening. It took about 80 minutes to mount the tripod, motor, dish and aim it. I relied on my camcorder connected to laptop to adjust the dish, since I did not have a spare TV...

Forgive me if it is out of the scope of this forum? Has anyone tried All for One URC-8910 remote? I bought one at Best buy yesterday for less than $30. Called the customer support to get a upgrade for my Coolsat 5000 and they did it immediately over the phone:) . Yet to test it as I needed a...

Globecast has announced that ASC-Flix and ASC-Xtra will be encryoted from May 22nd! Most people here may not watch those channels, but a bummer for FTAer:( Good news:) You can get a free globecast receiver and smart card by Subscribing to these two channels for a year calling their number!

I got a free Dish 500 with DishPro twin LNBF form a friend. Can I use it for any legal free channels? Do I need any additional items to get it work with Coolsat? Everything west of 110° W is blocked for me. So I guess Nasa is out of my list! :(

I tried using my remote to control TV and VCR. Channel up, down does not work for (Panasonic) TV and volume control does not work for (Philips-Magnavox) VCR. Also is there a "hidden" button to change TV/Video input for TV in remote?:confused:

I have a fixed set up to IA5 and planning to add a motor to the setup. I would like to know how to set up a motor, if my TS sat is blocked completely by the bldg in front. My LoS is blocked beyond 105W. My nearest TS will be 121 W or 123 W. (Location 94086). EchoStar9/Telstar 13 121.0W...

I have a fixed dish setup for IA5. Quality level is 89 to 91% in Coolsat. I am not able to get ASC Xtra and MHz channels while I am able to get all other free channels on the same TP. (11929 V, 22000). I tried blind, auto, manual and PID scan in vain. How do I add these two channels...

My poor man's receiver (Traxis) is not having Blindscan feature ans I am parked at IA5. So I am interseted in having all active and inactive transponders on IA5 added to the Xponders list. My idea is to check the quality level on regular basis and scan them for any new feeds/channels. Has...
