I became interested in satellite programming years ago, my uncle had a c-band setup. I helped him tweak, as much as a 10 year old can, more of a go-fer than anything. Fast forward 25 years....I was at a friends house that had a motorized KU setup, he showed me how he set his up and what to...

Here's mine, I'm on Linux Ubuntu 9.04, nice and clean.

There's a posting on ebay --- 7 Coolsat 5000 receivers, 5 remotes, advertised as all working. Starting bid is $19.99. Right now there is 4 days left.

My first, and thus far only motor install. I had to move the dish 5 times, pulled the post out of concrete 3 times. Thought my wife was gonna kill me. I ended up mounting it on a deck post and it's working great!! Buzz263

Sorry for the extra work fella's. I appreciate the fast answer!

I just had a Coolsat 4000 Pro given to me, less the remote. He also said if he can find his 5000 I can have it for $25. I seen a Captian 8000 HD receiver on ebay for $72, but there's a little over a day left on the auction. Buzz

Anyone know if this box uses a null cable or straight to connect? Also, what is the latest factory firmware, I can't seem to get on coolsatusa/ Thanks All! Buzz263

Great thread! I should be getting my Coolsat 5000 today, and all the above will be helpful! Thanks! Buzz

I'm not really new, been lurking your forum for sometime trying to learn FTA. I recently bought a 36" dish, invacom qph-031 and motor from Sadoun. My latest addition is 2 Coolsats (a 4000 and 5000), I snagged em both for $25! I've got alot to learn, but thus far it's been really fun...

Congrats man!!! You've got a awesome new toy!!! buzz263

While we were camping last year I seen a guy that had a "base bracket" mounted to the inside of the tailgate on his truck. After setting up his camper, he dropped the tailgate, slid in the mast, set up his dish, and had TV. Buzz263

This motor would be great, I'm getting really tired of weedeating around the dish farm! Good Luck All! Buzz263

Thanks for all the helps guys, and sorry for posting in the wrong forum!! Buzz
