    Ku, cable, and Directv

    You understood correctly. I've recorded my Ku receiver on TIVO for a few years. Any way to record it on the Directv HD/DVR?

    Ku, cable, and Directv

    I purchased an rf modulator just in case the standard definition DVR does not have coax output. Either way I should have a cable signal. My question is really whether the signal will move throughout the house on regular coax. I actually have an amplfier in the line that the cable company put...

    Ku, cable, and Directv

    I have a KU satellite and I've had cable with TIVO. I'm switching to Directv tomorrow and not quite sure what to expect on two fronts. With my existing TIVO I was able to run the cable coax through the Ku satellite receiver which allowed me to use TIVO for my Ku signal on channel 3 of the...

    Ripped Off?

    I sent an e-mail to Coolsat two days ago and I've heard nothing from them.

    Ripped Off?

    I did not buy the receiver off of ebay. I purchased it from the seller's website.

    Ripped Off?

    I disputed the charge with my credit card company. I've never done that before that I can recall. They said that they will investigate and give the merchant a chance to respond. I'm not sure how that will work with pay pal in the middle. I sent an e-mail to coolsat tech support, but...

    Ripped Off?

    I recently purchased a coolsat 6000 from CoolSatVSP of Los Angeles, CA. They had a Coolsat Authorized Distributor (Gold) logo on their site with the number #863027. So, I thought I was fine and not purchasing a clone. My coolsat didn't work well right out of the box (initially it would shut...

    coolsat warranty on 6000

    I found the cable that came with the unit. I hooked it up. I downloaded the software. I unzipped it. But, when I tried to open it my computer didn't know what program to use to open it. So, I then downloaded the loader program. But, again, my computer didn't know how to open it. I would...

    coolsat warranty on 6000

    I think this is the website, right? Coolsat USA - Official Web Site of Free To Air Satellite Receivers It says that you need a "straight data cable". I'm afraid that isn't clear to me. What kind of cable do I need and where can I get one? Once you download the softward to your computer...

    coolsat warranty on 6000

    Hhhmm. Where do I get the factory firmware and how do I load it on the machine? Many thanks for the idea! You described my problem almost exactly.

    Looking for a new FTA box

    I'm now planning to move my slingbox out near my satellite receiver. But, that isn't anywhere near my router. I know you can get bridges (wired and wireless) that help make that connection. But, I am clueless where to start. I'd prefer not to spend a fortune, but I'd like to make it work...

    coolsat warranty on 6000

    Ugh. I purchased a coolsat 6000 in Sept. 2007 and it has never worked properly and finally simply stopped powering on last Saturday. Any suggestions on what to do? Ironically, I purchased the Coolsat 6000 because I thought my pansat 2700a wasn't working. But, I did a factory reset on my...

    Woo Hoo! Can you blind scan from a PC?

    Looking for a new FTA box

    slingbox? Holy cow. Does slingbox recognize ANY fta receiver? I have pansat 2700 and coolsat 6000. Does slingbox recognize either? If so, my addiction will hit another level!!! I never even dreamed about doing slingbox with a fta receiver. If this works . . . . . woo hoo!!!!

    Faster Blind Scan?

    Stopped Working For Me Strangely, when I was blind scanning for games on Saturday, pushing play did absolutely nothing for me. The strange thing is that I tried this earlier in the week and it worked beautifully. Any ideas what is up? Also, how do you switch from horizontal to vertical...

    Faster Blind Scan?

    Oops. You are right. I meant to quote your post above. I'm not sure how to fix that. Perhaps I will just delete the quote. Regardless, thank you for the tip. This will make a huge difference for me!

    Faster Blind Scan?

    Pansat, using the trick outlined above (i.e., pushing the play button when the unit is searching for channels on data transponders). It is a huge difference!

    Faster Blind Scan?

    All I can say is WOW and THANK YOU! I just blind scanned a satellite that took 25 minutes on Saturday in about 4 minutes. Thank you!!! I think I will be using my pansat now.

    Faster Blind Scan?

    Ah perhaps I now know my mistake. I was using the "move" button and not the "fine move" button. Does the move button really move the dish all the way to the end of the arc with one push? I was able to find two satellites (satmex 5 and G10r), but I couldn't find the others using 1.2 and the...

    Faster Blind Scan?

    I'm back to using my old Pansat 2700a because I can't get my new coolsat 6000 to find the satellites using 1.2. I bought the coolsat 6000 before I thought to factory reset the pansat and I still looked forward to using it because it was supposed to do a faster blind scan. Not sure what to do...

    Usals?

    Thanks. That sounds very likely. Unfortunately, my dish is on the roof. So, I can't push the reset button easily. I think I'm stuck with 1.2 for now. Oh well . . . .

    Usals?

    OK. I had the correct long and lat. I rounded up instead of down and it still doesn't work. Specifically, satmex 5 is my true south satellite. I found it using 1.2. When I switch to usals on satmex 5 with the correct long and lat, the dish moves off satmex 5 and I can't even find the...

    Usals?

    help? I can find satmex 5 and g10r through trial and error. But, I have to use 1.2. usals doesn't find anything. I wonder if I'm using the wrong lat and long for my home. Where would you recommend that I find it? Also, it appears that I need to set the lnb for every satellite when...

    Usals?

    Thanks folks. I put long and lat in for satmex 5 (my true south satellite) and it moved the dish off of the satellite to the east. But, I had already stored the satellite in using 1.2. So, when I started looking for other satellites, I used USALS first and the dish moved slightly to the east...

    Usals?

    SG 2100, I believe.
