Sweet! thanx guys! And thanx for the link shawn.

Thanx, I'll see whats out there.

Yep, I did that and no change. Maybe I blew something up? When I first got all this stuff I connected and disconnected the motor with the reciever on. Later on I read that thats not a good idea.

I'm glad I got into this after blind scan made its debut, the thought of no blindscan is unbearable. I got a station 2 days ago that was really strange. It picked up TNT, I went back the next day and it was picking up the SCi FI channel, then it went blank. I suppose its some sort of test...

Well, I have to admit this has been more of an adventure than a hobby. I had about 1 week of learning before I got all excited about FTA, then I just made the leap. Where im located the cable is kind of fuzzy and a lot of people just want basic channels on either dish or cable, Me included. I...

Oh I hate this box! I hear a lot of good stuff about it, more mem, faster blind scan etc but the down sides really make me want to take a baseball bat and beat it till its dust. No realtime signal or quality graph during reposition, it shows yes, but it never tells the truth till i exit the...

So, I can't actually use one of the blank ones? There's about 10 with nothing on them. Or can i use one of the blanks and start creating? I didn't catch the rename part untill i went searching for my missing post. The new name makes it a bit more general though. Ok I'll try the non...

On that list you sent us, I see some satellites not listed on the Coolsat Pro 4000. I try to add them where the blank spaces are and all I can do is change the name. There is no way to set a frequency that I can tell. I tried everything. Do you have any idea how to ADD satellites to your...

LOL! Yeah, you'd have missed me by quite a lot. I FINALLY got the Coolsat loader, flashed the firmware with the new factory stuff and things started acting a whole lot better. Problem is, the motor still stops tracking after about the halfway point. I set every satellite to usals, single and...

There is no port sulphur here it's just called plain Sulphur. Double check my zip 70663. See if you get the same readings I did. It wouldn't surprise me if my Satfinder backfired on me.

Well, it looks like a new reciever may have to be the solution. I set the TS right, but everytime I go to my TS sat when checking motorized setup the dish takes off clockwise about 40 or 45 degrees. Does the same thing when Im switching channels. The only solution I have come up with is to...

Ah ok then, I did everything right except for the flashing light thingy. And the beeps are a bad thing huh? Ok then I think I know what happened, the stand I made seems to have been blown sideways a bit, thankfully I paint marked where it goes. Im loaded with stations now, even with manual...

I thought universal was 9750-10750?

Thats pretty much what I was saying earlier. If youre not into tech stuff, always go with easy. But if you want complete control over your video, recording etc then PC is the only way to go. Having already spent the money on the media center box, buying a Tivo is pretty much a slap in the...

I always wait till new year and take myself shopping at cut throat prices. But that Manhattan ST550 receiver Ice mentioned has me drooling. I'm gonna go take a look see now.
