I have a Viewsat VS pro that I just used to blind scan channels of G19. When I go to edit the channel list and click on the purple/blue button to move channels around I get no response (the remote lights up though to acknowledge that a button is pressed) . The buttons to lock, delete and...

Is there any place to buy a birdog powersupply? I had mine plugged in to long and I think it fried it. It makes a whining noise when it is plugged in. I took the unit apart and it shows the model number as GPE151-12100w. It is basically an ac to dc 12v 1000mA converter. Can these be...

I have the directv dtv36eds worlddirect dish with a broken lnb holder. Is there a place to buy these types of parts?

The problem is that there is not even a blind scan option. Just network scan and manual scan. It might be a clone of a coolsat 4000 plus because I am not sure if they had blind scan either.

I recently got a CooCoo 4000 reciever. It appears to have some version of the coolsat firmware installed, but there is now blind scan. I copied some scanned channels from g19 onto this box and it loaded them fine, but I was wandering if these boxes had blind scan or not.

Are you using the directv world direct dish with the p170ku+ LNB? If you are you then you need to skew it to 61 on the back of the dish. If the mast is level you have the correct elevation, than you should be able to get it by slowly turning it in the azimuth direction. I have installed...

You can use the dish with FTA because one of the LNBs is a standard linear LNB (the oval one). I am not sure about swapping lnbs though because that lnb holder is kinda proprietary. I am also not sure you can use a motor because you have to skew the whole dish since you can not rotate the...

The model number of my lnb is p170ku+. According to the pdf in one spot it says the p170+ is single polarity. On the manufactures site it says that the P170+ is a dual polarity. I don't know if the KU in the model makes a difference. Also I was not running any switches with this setup just a...

I recently found a site that was selling a complete FTA setup including a receiver and a DTV36EDS directv dish. Everywhere that I looked seemed to indicate that the LNB that came with this dish was a single polarity. I called the company and they said that was the dish they were selling with...

What settings do you have to have for the original lnb to work? How does the stacked LNB differ from a regular standard lnbf?

I read on another forum that the coolsat 6000s sometimes have a cap on the powerboard that goes bad. People have been fixing them by replacing the capacitor.

I got the same deal on craigslist as well. Receiver, dish and lnbf for $25. My dish is missing the elevation knob though. It had the brackets just not the knob itself. I guess the previous installer didn't install it our lost it. Is the original LNBF taht came with it any good? It says it...

Thanks, I tried that and it worked. Now I wonder if it will only work with standard LNBFS or if it will work with Universal ones as well.

Is there any way to program the homesat 8009 bju for galaxy 25 transponders?

Actually I guess the problem that I had was my LNBF was a single polarity. It was only picking Vertical signals and 11966 is on a Horizontal tp.
