    Internet connection on bluray players

    I went to best buy and got a Sony bluray player w/ wifi....long story short, connects to wireless router, but no internet. Everything else connects ok, i.e., laptop, roku, etc. I took it back to b.b. and exchanged it w/ an LG player....same problem....no internet connection. I took it back...

    Moving to Chatanooga, TN

    Well guys, I sold my house in Lineboro MD and am moving to Chatanooga TN to be closer to grandkids and my parents. I left my dish with the qph-031 lnb along with my original stb ( Captive Works 600s). I did however, take the Coolsat 5k with me. I will someday get back into the hobby when I...

    I can't get this channel anymore on 79w....no signal. Anyone else lose it? I didn't see any other posts on here about it. I blind scanned it but came up with nothing.

    Another Coolsat 5k question

    I know that all the channels that appear in any channel list gets there by scanning the sat, but is it possible to just add a channel manually?

    Just moved stationary dish to 125W

    I scanned in 5 channels, v-me, create, pbs and some others on tp 12180 v 30000 sr, with the Coolsat 5k, and there is no sound. Are these channels ac-3? They are listed as sd in the clear. Can someone enlighten me?

    Got the Openbox S9 on Monday....putting up for sale today.

    I was not impressed with this stb....I hated that the sats arent' numbered, but use the sat name instead....hated how it lagged in the setup menus....it's super slow blind scan, which misses channels that the Coolsat would find. I was hoping it would find some HD channels, but it doesn't. Even...

    Channel up/down control

    Can someone explain to me why on just about every stb made, that when you bring up the channel list while watching tv, the channel up and down arrows work normally, but when you exit the channel list, the up and down arrows work the opposite direction? I never understood why this is.

    Maybe a dumb question

    If you have an HD stb such as the Openbox s9, do you have to connect it to an HD tv to watch HD channels, or can it convert the HD signals to SD if connected to a standard tv?

    Coolsat 5k question

    Does the Coolsat 5000 have a multisat scan capability? I just assumed that it did, but never considered trying to. I was looking in the scan menu's and didn't find any for multisat scan. I know my old Captiveworks cw600s had it. Even if it doesn't , I wouldn't give up the blind scanning in...

    AON channel

    I was wondering who pays to have this channel broadcast over so many differents sats. I find it hard to believe that this seemingly small black church could afford to have it's endless cache of video'd services so pervasively broadcast....I mean it's not like the preacher has so much draw...

    FTA is a fun hobby

    I just wanted to share a little bit of the enjoyment I get from this hobby. I started out almost 5 years ago from a google search on "free satellite tv" which led me to fta receivers and stb reviews, which ultimately landed me here on Satelliteguys web forum. At the time I was only getting ota...

    Chieta diseqc switch

    I just ordered a Chieta 4x1 diseqc switch. It looked like a good one....the company has been around quite a while. I was wondering if anyone has this switch, and how it performs. I just bought an ROC a few weeks ago, but I don't seem to get the signal strength I used to get from my original...

    NBC mux on 72W AMC 6

    I was sure that I used to get NBC/MSNBC on this sat.....did it go away? I had a thunderstorm last week and it fried my diseqc switch, so I replaced it, but for whatever reason, now my Coolsat 5k won't show me a signal on the 10750 setting. It does show me signal on the Universal, 10000, 10050, &...

    Is ok to post a link ( not live ) to my commercial website?

    Attn Moderators: I was wondering if it would be ok to post a link ( encoded ) to my communications products website. I would not just post it without proper authorization, since I have been a member in good standing for almost 4 years. Thanks

    Question about loop out

    What would be the advantage ( if any ) of looping out of one receiver to another? It seems to me that whatever sat the controlling receiver is set to, would also be for the looped receiver.....and if you are using the same tv, wouldn't you need an A/B switch? Is it just to be able...

    can sats be added to coolsat 5000 platinum?

    Hey guys, I just got a Coolsat 5000 platinum on eBay, and I love the blind scan....it's just that there are a lot of sats missing in the database and I don't see any way to add them manually. Can this be done with the remote, or do I have to use a channel editor program? Thanks for your...

    Question

    Ok, it's been a while since I have posted any questions on here, but I have one now. My present fta setup includes a 36" Fortec dish/QPH-031 lnb with a STAB HH100 motor, and a CaptiveWorks cw600 standard receiver (w/ no blind scan), and a fixed elliptical dish ( Starband )/sadoun universal lnb...

    Lost all but 1 of my digital channels

    I've had this Digital Stream HD converter box for almost 6 mos., and all of a sudden, I lost signal on all but one channel. Nothing has changed since it was installed. I've tried rescanning, but still only finding the same single channel. Any ideas? I've already tried turning my outside...

    Lost all quality on G10R

    I don't know what's happening, but lately I am getting no signal on G10R. My dish is fixed....I know it hasn't moved. I was getting quality of 56% on 11800 just last week. Now nothing. Anyone else having problems?

    Finally found G10R

    What a tough bird to catch! I finally found it using an old Starband elliptical dish with my original sadoun universal lnb....and also with all the tips I picked up on this forum. Thanks for all the info. I used the sat calculator on Sadoun's website, and the Satfinder program to get the...
