Is "Senior Member" status bestowed based on good posts? Length of time of membership? A staff vote? I always thought the senior members who frequently post in the FTA forum were experienced, grizzled know it alls. That certainly isn't me. Anyway, I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and...

Last night, my Coolsat 8000 froze. In the past, when it did that, Iwould turn the box off, then switch it off the back button and let it sit (either plugged or unplugged). After awhile, I would switch it back on and it would re-boot with the stored channels intact. Last night, when I did the...

I was checking the Lyngat maps today and camre across a notice that Lyngat and the Eurpoean Space agency have deleloped a new FTA receiver called the Lyngbox. They are unveiling it in Eurpoe Sept. 7 (today) through the 11th. They are promoting it in Europe with a slow roll out this fall...

FTAlist.com lists sporting events and movies for the KU band FTA stations. Is there a comparable list anywhere for C band FTA stations. I am aware that the G3 stations are generally the same as G10KU. Of course, my interest is in sports lisings (particularly football).

Last night, I decided to scan in local channels into my Coolsat 8000 HD TS Combo. Frankly, I wondered what the point was to have a "signal in" for OTA channels since you need to hook an antenna or cable to the box anyway. So, I decided to "test" it out. I split the signal, hooked up the...

Last night, while watching ESPN HD football backhauls and later the Leno HD backhauls, I did not receive audio on the Coolsat HD 8000. Does anyone know why? (Maybe the audio is broadcast separately and joined later when the signal is sent out of the network). Also, how do you turn off the...

Does anyone keep track of coordinates for sports/football backhauls? Did anyone keep track of them last year? Does anyone think a thread listing or identifying those backhauls is a good idea or feel it is a bad idea? My experience from the old analog days is that the games tended to recur...

Because the 8000 doesn't have a blind scan (only pre-programmed coordinates in the scan feature), I had to use FTA List and Mike Kohl's list to locate some of the channels. I rely on the Yahoo backhaul group to locate backhauls, then program them in. I have located some (Cardinals baseball, ABC...

I own a Coolsat 8000hd with a 10 foot dish. I am able to receive some of the KU band channels on the NAHAUEL 1 Satellite at 71.8 degrees with the LNB set to 10750. However, that is the only KU band Sattelite I receive. And, I only get some of the channels. I cannot get free channels on any of...
