It was bought on eBay, but about 3 years ago, and it was working about a month ago when it was last powered on (and I had time to play with it) The firmware is the straight from the factory, never been altered/updated I did find a 'coolsat loader' and a copy of the factory firmware, but...

Been awhile since the coolsat has been on.... turned it on last night to find 8888 on the display and no video :( Tried unplugging overnight, holding power switch on back while holding combinations of the buttons on the front, still no joy any ideas to revive? or do I have a boat...

adjusted so that the 'skew bar' is horizontal and the box is pointed as shown... scanning the digital skies again...:) thanks for the help!!

moved the dish to 95*, rotated the LNB if the skew bar is horizontal the "box" does not point to 6'oclock, it points to either 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock, I am guess that it is more important that the skew bar is horizontal?

Installed the BSC621 today, have tried setting the LNB setting on the Legacy to both 2 and 3 and then blind scanning with the Coolsat. Have tried setting the Coolsat with LNB ON, 13V and 18V additional settings are LNB type - single, LNB frequency 5.150, 22kHz off, DiSEqC off Am currently...

LNB options on the US Electronics Legacy II are 1 - one c-band and/or one ku-band lnb, 2 - lnbf, vert=high, 3 - lnbf, vert = low currently set to option 1

My BSC621 arrived yesterday, but it has been too cold to think about installing it (0* right now, I known, for some of you this is not cold :) Anyway, looking at the BSC621, I notice that there is no polarizer control box (guess I did not really notice that it was not there when looking at...

I was able to find C3-20 (quality about 5 on a 10 scale), G4-16 (about 8.5/10) and G5 (both V and H) (2/10) late last night. Nothing on the digital side, level still 85/90 quality less than 10. Might the Coolsat receiver be bad? We have an ice storm going through the area right now, was 60*...

thanks for the suggestions...:) pole and mount are level.... adjusted for best picture on G4-16, moved to G5(14), getting horizontal (6 and 22, though not a perfect picture, not able to get vertical, so I also have a polarity issue :( moved C-band cable from analog receiver (US...

I am still working on trying to solve my BUD issues and skipped the afternoon day after Christmas shopping to work on it...:) I now have an analog receiver moving the BUD nicely across the arc. When I am pointed at my true south G3C, I am getting G16 (and not very clearly even when I try the...

Setup my first BUD years ago, and although I can find all the same documentation I am losing in setting up this one. I am at 94* 49'W 39* 45'N making my Galaxy 3C my true south satellite, which would put my declination angle at 40.21*, declination angle at 5.51* and apex elevation at 44.29*...

if I were to win.... I would know that my LNB was working correctly, I am working with used donated equipment to my hobby and I think I may be working with failing equipment :) I would be able to put on my BUD and be watching FTA TV again :)

best thanksgiving... we try to get the whole family together on thanksgiving, my family, the folks, and my 3 sisters families....we have been as far away as 18 hours, those days made for some interesting trips (a couple of them were made in time for turkey on thanksgiving and then making the...

Hit the power switch of my Chaparral Sierra III today and it did not hit back (well actually it did, since it did not power on :( The unit does not power on from the front panel or from the remote (even after changing batteries in the remote) I verified that it was plugged into a working...

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, if it is can you direct me to the correct forum.... My folks just got their DTV box and have it hooked up but are able to receive only the local station - KQTV (53 digital). They do not currently have an external antenna. With the internal antenna they...
