    Received Coolsat 8000HD yesterday

    Sorry for the last found the loader. However it leads me to the next question; after the download my S/W 11.13.8 A. Is 11.13.8 F a later version? If it is, where does one get the latest factory "sgn" file? plimzol

    Received Coolsat 8000HD yesterday

    Got the unit yesterday. I have only turned power on so far. Saw S/W version 11.13.4 A as the unit flashed thru bootup. On Iceberg's post of the 7th, his image of the same screen showed 11.13.8 F. What do I have here? The first unit off the shelf. I downloaded the 11.13.8 sgn file but am having...

    How to program Satellites not in the default

    Iceberg, Sorry for the late reply. My problem was I didn't realize you can enter numerical values with the number keys. Once I had hit a number key (by mistake the first time) instead of scrolling through the defaut settings I felt about two inches tall. Thanks again for your help. plimzol

    Second Receiver Connection

    I've pretty much finished with the primary setup (dish, motor, and receiver). All available sat's locked in with the receiver moving the dish via USALS. The LNBF I'm using (QPH 31) has another circular output and another linear output which I would like to connect to another receiver (the...

    How to program Satellites not in the default

    Ok I'm stumped. I'm trying to enter Galaxy 26. I've gotten to the edit screen (again thanks to iceberg) and I cannot match any value (down freq., polarity, symbol rate) with any info on lyngsat. I'm using usals. Does this require DiSEqC 1.2 because I see no input for sat longitude? I was able to...

    How to program Satellites not in the default

    I have a pansat 6000hxc pvr and would like to program in satellites that apparently do not appear in the default list already programed into the reciever. Is there a way to do this? Further, is there a way to edit the satellite name once a satellite has been aquired and saved? plimzol

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    Once again I'm late to reply. At least I'm consistant. More rain and job demands delayed my installation. Let me pick up the install where I left off. I had aligned the motor/dish (both aligned to their zero points, dish declination set and motor set to latitude) to a true south...

    G10R is gone, but why?

    Das, As one who has benefited from your advise, may I return the favor or at least agonize with you? All things considered the equipment inside the house should be ok. Outside maybe not. Most likely basic alignment. I would approach it as a new install. Mast vertical, motor dish aligned...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    Thank you Tron for your post. Once again I'm late to reply and for that I apoligize. Finally made it out on Saturday before the big game to finish installing the dish. The previous weekend I installed the post and made sure it was perfectly plumb and solid (so it wouldn't flex with the...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    Gearing up for the intstallation tomorrow (finally). I feel fairly confident as far as the alignment on G10r (direction to true south), the transponder to use and the settings in the pansat 6000hxc reciever (thanks to iceberg). Assuming I have got a strong quality signal do I do a scan at that...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    Thanks for the reply Tron, Sorry about the late post. I should have come out of the rain sooner on Saturday. Spent all Sunday in bed with a cold cursing my bad luck. I have indeed grounded the mount. I have a copper grounding wire connect to one of the mounting bolts on the post. I ran it...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    I made it out today. Enough time between the raindrops to get the post installled. Had enough time to construct a backstay for the post to compensate for the weight of the motor and dish. The mast is perfectly plumb. Had to leave when St. Elmo's fire started appearing on my level. The lightning...

    A Coolsat 8000HD Review

    My most humble apoligies to crawfrdb. In reading my last post in context It sounds as if I degenerate his review by omision. On the contrary, it was his comprehensive review that lead me to this thread in the first place, having also pre-purchased the 8000 hd. Being new to this hobby, Iceberg...

    A Coolsat 8000HD Review

    Iceberg, While I'm still working on my installation (focusing on the pansat 6000hxc), as you know, I have taken the FTA creed to heart. And that is "As a true FTA tester, One does not test on a singal reciever, dish, LNBF, etc! It's all about the signal". I'm sitting on a viewsat ultra but...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    Thank you Tron. I need all the help I can get. If, or hopefully when I get a strong signal on G10r, I will slide the LNBF in its' mount a little toward the dish and a little bit away from the dish (making sure it is still straight up and down which is its' zero scew position). I'll do this...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    Roger that Das, and thank you for your reply. You are correct. My C-Band dish is prime focus. Again I am guilty of not being completely clear in my posts. I was refering to the proxcimity of my c-band dish to where I plan to install the FTA system (the c-band dish is already locked on G10r). It...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    You are correct. My last question would have been clearer if I had just asked, " How does the pansat know to use the output from the circular LNB when on a circular satellite or the output from the linear LNB when on a linear satellite since the output from both are coming thru a single line...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    Hi all Hi all, I know I'm jumping the gun. Please forgive my enthusiasm. I've been looking forward to this day (doing this in my mind) for sometime and the day is almost here, Saturday. The dish got here today (85cm samsonic). All the pieces are here. I am going to align the dish, motor...

    Pansat 6000HXC setup help

    It's been a few months back that I got the FTA bug. Slowly, when discretionary funds became available, I have purchased the components. Next week, I hope, the last pieces will get here. So next weekend I hope to be actually installing the system. The components are: Pansat 6000HXC Invacom QPH31...
