Thank you KE4EST. My TV is compatible with 60Hz / NTSC. There is no HDMI in Coolsat 500. I tried with composite cables. I too have a portable DVD system with 5" screen (NTSC) , in case TV is not compatible. Tried on that as well.

Hi all, Hope all is well with everyone in this time of the pandemic. Posting in the forum after a very long time (close to a decade). I pulled out my old Coolsat 5000 Platinum receiver from storage and tried to boot it up to check. It doesn't boot anymore and I see only "Remote" LED in the...

My first FTA setup was in Sep 2005. SatelliteGuys helped me a lot to set up my 76CM dish with Traxis 1500 receiver. What a fun it was :)

Akash, May I know which channels are you interested in. I started FTA hobby for this sat and I came a long way from there. That time many Indian channels on this sat was FTA. But now they are encrypted. I say, if the channels you like are there or not, go for it. You will love FTA. And this...

I want to win the new SG9120 Heavy Duty DiSEqC Motor & The WS9036 36 Inch Dish

Yes, I do that now. But my wife prefers not to use the switch as it is an extra work :)

In TV (Samsung LN46 550)when I tune for cable, only analog channels (14 to 89) are getting tuned. No Digital channels are getting tuned while Auto-tuning in cable mode. If I tune selecting antenna as source (connected to same cable NOT antenna) the digital channels gets tuned (No analog...

Thanks! I wish they were converting signal to QAM instead of sending as ATSC signal. That would have given me option of switching (A/B Switch) to Antenna only for few channels that are not provided in cable.

Broadcasters are in San Francisco and cable company is modifying the frequencies before transmitting now.

Welcome to the forum. Not very clear on your questions... 1) How did you search for channels? did you use DVBViewer Channel Scan function? 2)Is the scanned channel appearing in DVBViewer Channel list? 3)If you need info on Channel Scan window to fill up LO, Frequency details, you will have to...

My apartment provides free cable with 80 channels, all analog and no QAM. They sent out a notice last week saying that they are adding few HD channels and moving some analog channels to accommodate the changes. after the changes I noticed that they have moved Analog channels 2 to 13 to...

I live in an two level apartment complex and have CM4228, almost at ground level in my patio :( Unfortunately I can't install an VHF antenna on roof top. I get channel 11, which is the lowest freq. I even get KRCB, Channel 22.1, that is 75miles away..

ABC moved from UHF (24) to VHF (7) yesterday and I lost 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 which were being received earlier. I saw similar comments in ABC website also. H.ope they change back to UHF

Chinmay, With single Ku band dish, it is impossible to get both the sats, that is separated by 19.5deg. If the Dish is big enough, you can try catching 94.5 and 98.5. With DD Direct+ dish, I don't think it is possible either. If you are little adventurous, you may try poor-mans-htoh. With...

In India, still majority of the FTA channels are still in C-band and I have seen many C-Band dishes with more than 2 Ku band LNBs and 1 to 2 C-Band attached. Since Chinmay has not specified his dish size, I guess he might be talking about a 8' dish with above arrangement. I haven't seen any...
