The 2.025A firmare that I found on this site, seemed to make a big difference. Currently 80% quality and 99% signal strength. Thanks again everybody.

Thank you Waylew! I was using a straight cable instead of a null type. I simply rewired my staight cable and then it updated with no problem. Also, the firmware update fixed the reception issue on the hd Channels located on amc 21. Thanks again to all who help me solve this problem. Here's...

Hi, Thanks for everyones input on the subject. I wish the previous owner would have updated with a factory file before they sold the coolsat to me. I do not condone stealing of satellite signals. I enjoy only free tv. Now I have a new problem. I have tried to update my file for over 5...

Thanks for all of the responses. Thanks for confirming the pbs hds on your coosat, Eurosport. What firmware are you running, maybe that will help. I never have had lnb problems of anysort before. I am currently running a gt.lst40 0.2db lnb that is rather new. I am located in southern...

Hi, thanks for the input. I managed to increase the quality to 94%. I also tried to fine tune the lnb skew too but with no luck. Can anyone else confirm that the coolsat 8000 will not work with these channels(the three pbs hd channels on amc 21)? Does anyone think it maybe a possible...

Hi, I recently got my dish pointed on amc 21 (125w). My siginal strenth is 99% and my quality is 82% on my coolsat 8000. Create and World come in fine but the 3 PBS hd channels come in slightly digitized/ blocky, yet the audio is perfect. Does anyone know what would cause this or fix this...

Hi Guys, I just wanted to thank you again. I got my dish pointed and locked on amc9. My old coolsat didn't have 83west on the satellite list so I just added it and used the frequency 11735 H, and put the symbol rate on 04444. Works like a charm. My kids are enjoying retro tv and I am happy...

Thanks Guys. That is good news. I knew that puppy would come in handy again. Good to see something networky on ku again. Hopefully next week I will be up and running. Cheers, your pal Chip

Hi, I have been out of the hobby for awhile and I have a question. Will my old coolsat 4000 work on amc9? I am trying to pick up rtv, pbj and tuff tv. My receiver is in storage right now but I plan on digging it out and giving it a try soon. Does anyone know for sure? Any input would be...

Thanks Anole The PBS stations I mentioned are listed as free on lyngsat. Thats Really what the post is about. Is Lyngsat Crazy or what?

Hi, Thanks for any help I can get on this. I did several searches and I still haven't found the right information. Lyngsat says there are is a free pbs on 119 and 129. I have a international directv dish pointd at 123(high singal and quility, I like it). I have a coolsat 4k. I like to...

Larry, the only point I was trying to make with the statement, Quote: So I would actually be on amc5 with the channel I want, but with the satellite receiver thinking it is on IA5. was that the Channels are associated with the tp/sr rather than the actual satellites. For example, I...

Thanks Pete AMC5 is my TS Sat, which tp do you think I should use when fine tuning? Thanks Chipoole

I am a little confused on the transponder deal. Take my coolsat for example. The satellites I have to choose from have many different TPs already programed in, however when I get tp #(1) to come in with a super high quality signal, tp #2 reads nothing or very little in the quality level. So when...

Thanks for the tips. I will give it a try. If that does the trick I will post the update. Regards Charles Poole
