I can't seem to tune in this bird at all. I can get just about everything else KU FTA but can't seem to find 99w.

I formatted the drive in FAT. It is a 500gb drive. I was not aware of an issue with Windows not being able to format a large drive correctly in FAT. The receiver initially formatted the drive no problem and it ran fine for about a year. Then, one day, the drive light just blinked at me and...

Anole, I can't reformat with the Coolsat because it won't recognize the drive. I thought a full reformat with a computer would fix it but no dice.

Are the files on Coolsat's website original factory restore or are there updated files elsewhere on the site?

Where is the latest factory firmware file for the Coolsat 7000? I am having problems with my USB hard drive not being recognized by the machine anymore. I reformatted the hard drive and it seemed to work fine when attached to my computer. Any suggestions? Also, how do I get the Galaxy 27...

My dish is white, not beige. Is it a commercial dish? Do you have documentation on the dish?

ACRadio, Well, no need for pictures for identification purposes. I was right, it is an 8 foot (not 10 foot) Channel Master and exactly the same as yours, only a lot dirtier. It has the black, circular "Channel Master" logo that screws into the center of the dish. It also has the four support...

As usual, quick, friendly and knowledgeable help on this forum. Thanks guys. I now have the dish in pieces in my box truck. I will try to post some pics in the next few days. The dish is solid and a little dirty but looks as if it will clean up nice. Seems like I got a good one!

I was looking for some info since I am new to C-band on a complete setup I picked up for free. It is a Channel Mater 8 foot (they told me it was a 10 footer) fiberglass dish. There was a large cover over the feedhorn. Inside there was a 15v Channel Master power box and an Avantek AWC-42090...

I think the dish is either 31" or 33" (if I remember correctly). It is an older model.

Hi All, I am trying to set my mother up with FTA. She has a conventional DirectTV setup that is no longer hooked up. What LNB fits in the DirectTV mount (the kind that slides into the support arm)? What linear LNB would you recommend. I have another question as well. Her dish is pointed at...

Hello, I was wondering what a Caltronics (or Caultronics) 8' dish from the 80's would be worth. It is rusty black mesh and would need a repaint. It comes complete with an unknown brand motor. The guy wants $75 for the complete set up which seems steep to me. What would you C-band experts...

Does anyone with an HD box have video for ESPN HD? The audio seems to be in the clear but getting "channel error" with the video. Does anyone know if you convert an SPDIF signal to analog (for those of us still in the dark ages)?

Anyone listening to HITS radio on Galaxy 16? I can't seem to peg this satellite with Ice's suggested transponders. It should just be a burp from 97.

Thanks for the reply. I would br happy with that signal quality but I think I stated those were my best transponders. Most are between 8 - 25 percent. Some just fade in and out. I would not mind if I could watch TV without glitches and artifacts. The dish seems stable.

Hello All, Now that I was able to get the linear sats, my signal strength is about 45 - 60 on the strongest transponders on G25. I tweaked the dish the best I could. Should I look into a signal booster? I have heard of someone mentioning LNB focusing. Is that an option? If it is, how do...

So...the elevation is up too high for certain? I am just curious on how you know I need to go down. I am trying to learn this stuff so don't get offended:). I also was able to hit 123 G10R with a weak signal. Will I be able to get 101 (AMC 4) and some of the other FTA sats if I adjust the...

Success!, Thanks to all who have helped me. I bypassed the switch and wired direct to the linear port of the LNB and got G25 back. I guess I have 3 bad switches!?!? The signal is weak though (about 35 - 45 percent depending on the transponder). Is my angle off? I can watch fine until I get...

Yes, that sounds correct. I am mostly interested in receiving G25 programming. That is mostly all I watched when I could get G25. I am interested in seeing some other programming you guys are taking about but if the switch won't work to the FTA sats, I might as well get rid of my system.

Thanks for all who replied. I can see why this group gets such kudos. Remember, I am new at this so I will explain the best I can. I have done some research but I am not up to genius level yet. The dish was installed by someone in the hobby - NOT me. I have 1 dish, 1 receiver as mentioned...

NG, I only had 25 - 30 percent quality :(.

I never could get the other Galaxies. I just got a weak signal from G25. Is my angle off? I am a noob so be easy on me:). The thing I don't understand is I had G25 one day and the next it was gone. Nothing obvious happened to the dish that I am aware. Worst case, what are your...

Hello to all as this is my first post. I am having trouble with my Coolsat 7000 setup and Galaxy 25. I have a 33 inch Fortec dish and a Coolsat 7000 set at 10750. I have had this satellite tuned in (albeit a weak signal) in the past. I turned my system on one night and couldn't get a signal...
