I just installed a new 80 cm dish and new universal LNB setup with a Coolsat 6000. I am having a weird problem with AMC 3. When I do both blind scans and manual scans using information "The List" I only get 11.724 H at 3676 symbol rate (the Bloomberg Info card) and no other channels. I used...

Most Home Theater receivers with Dolby optical/coaxial RCA inputs will decode the AC-3 signal. Check your equipment out before buying any additional decoding equipment. Most people don't even realize such inputs exist and still use 2 channel RCA connectors and wonder why they aren't getting...

Lyngsat doesn't show much for those sats Ku directed at North America. I can see birds out to 22 deg. East before losing LOS due to houses. I was looking for people with personal experience. One side of my house faces southeast and the back faces southwest, and my neighbor's house blocks the...

If I move my Ku dish with universal LNB to the side of my house, I should have a nice view of satellites in the Atlantic region (22 deg. West to about 70 deg. BTW, I cover the N. America birds from my back yard). I have looked at the Lyngsat charts, but most of the feeds are for Europe, Africa...

There is a nice set of clean SD PBS feeds on AMC3 Ku. There is also a PBS HD feed too, but I don't have HD equipment, so I can't vouch for that one.

Thank you, for the info. I will contact both the authorized dealer I got the unit from, and coolsat to see how the repair or replacement will be handled. Thanks to all respondents.

Thanks for the idea about checking the coax. I have swapped the coax several times and tried using short sections inside the house to troubleshoot (too cold to keep running outside). Still no luck. I put the motor up on my work bench and retested its function carefully with a service power...

In response to a number of questions: I bought both the Coolsat 6000, and now recently the SG2100, new. The Coolsat 6000 works fine with no LNB coax attached or with only LNBs attached (ie no rebooting). I attached everything together with the Coolsat (back panel switch off and unplugged), then...

This is a Coolsat 6000 that I have been using for a while in a fixed dish setup, so I have had no problems with it running just LNBs. I suspected the new motor at first, but I can hook the new motor to an old analog receiver and power it up fine. I can even move the mount with the manual...

I tried to add a new SG 2100 motorized mount to my Coolsat 6000 receiver in a homebrewed FTA system. With the motor mounted, but no dish attached, I powered up the setup, but the 6000 seems to keep protecting itself and rebooting. I thought there was a short in the new motor, so I got out an...

I do NOT have the OCS-DP option on the 6000 only OCS. I am not sure how the settings work either. It asks for two numbers. I tried several combinations, such as: 10750/--, 10750/10750, and 10750/11325. All these changes did was move the blind scan frequency window way out of whack (like 9.7...

I vote C-Band too! I used to have a BUD and loved it until I moved where it would now take up 1/2 of my yard, so I am back into Ku FTA. You can usually add Ku to C-Band, but not vice versa. A note about C-Band dishes, get at least 7 feet (8-10 feet is better). You won't really need it for...

I got the dish running with the original feed and stacked FSS LNB. Works well on most satellites, once I get them aimed. Thanks for the information. I will be sure to upgrade dishes when one comes along for the right price.

I am trying to use a salvaged DishPro FSS stacked LNB from a SuperDish for getting FTA -- the PBS feeds off of AMC 3. I am currently using the settings of "single" and LO 10750 with some success, besides the polarity stacking issue. Right now I am telling the receiver to blindscan 11.7 to...

I have a CoolSat 6000 receiver and wanted to know about the OCS LNB settings. Should I be using this for DishPro equipment? The manual doesn't say anything about OCS LNB settings. It asks for 2 frequency values. I see a lot of posts about OCS-DP, but this doesn't have any other settings...

I picked up a surplus SuperDish and wanted to use it for FTA. I noticed the linear FSS LNB has a separate, VERY "oval" feedhorn attached via a flange to the LNB. Due to the LNB being stacked, poor noise figure, and not handled great by my receiver software, I wanted to swap it with a standard...
