    Coolsat IKS Dongle

    They sleep quite easily because they use excuses like, "I paid for this programming that included certain channels. Half way through my contract, they change my programming and no longer offer certain channels in the new package they put me in" I have seen that excuse more often than I care to...

    Coolsat IKS Dongle

    Serial to ethernet dongles are nothing new. Atleast not for me anyways. They have been around for many years. In fact, the space center (Kennedy Space Center), brighthouse networks, twc, and comcast have these and use them on a daily basis. Their MOST COMMON use is for big (and I do mean...

    Picked up a dish today...Questions...

    Ya I had a feeling it wasn't the original LNB. No biggie, it can be replaced. I also keep TSP around for when I have to clean the roof of the house so thats not a problem either. Now I just gotta go out and get a 2inch pole and shove it in the ground and level it up. Thanks for the info!

    Oh and before I get bombarded with questions about the fish tank. It's a 55 gal tank that is in the process of drying before I can re-silicone the tank.

    Picked up a dish today...Questions...

    Ok, I looked closer at this dish, it appears its a 1m PrimeStar dish. I don't think the LNB is the original that came with it. Heres the pics I promised. Would you pay 30$ for this? The last Pic states it's a Channel Master. Mold # 1.0m 3. As you can see in the second...

    Picked up a dish today...Questions...

    Hey guys, I picked up a dish today. Fiberglass. Measures 43 inches top to bottom and 40 inches side to side. It's in rough shape. Well what I consider rough. It doesn't have a smooth surface. 1. Should I sand it down and re-paint it? 2. If so, what paint should I use? I will...

    Dealers close to Cocoa Beach?

    Ok, the recent storms we had here destroyed my dish. My FTA was truly FREE. I bought this house and it had a 90cm in the back yard, and a buddy gave me an FTA reciever. Anyways. the 90cm is toast, no chance of repair. A tree fell on it. Trust me, it was NO small tree either! So I...

    Bell Swapping Smartcards - Get ready for the cheap FTA gear!

    I don't know anything about bev and how their packages are setup. I live way down here in the warm country. I do know that Directv did multicast all their streams until all the cards were swapped. I think Iceberg had a good idea though. Do the HD swaps first, then switch that stream over...

    Bell Swapping Smartcards - Get ready for the cheap FTA gear!

    Thats the point I was trying to get across. Just didn't get into details. What I said is not really wrong. They still have to multicast both streams until the card swap with all their subs are completed. Thus the end of year statement. Give the coolsats about 2 more months. Ive already...

    Been a long time since ive been to a Hamvention. I might make the orlando/daytona/brevard hamvention when it comes to Florida this year. Ohio is just a little too far to drive.

    Bell Swapping Smartcards - Get ready for the cheap FTA gear!

    I wouldn't count on "very soon" Lets be realistic here. By end of year is more of a plausible situation. A card swap takes time. No matter who the provider. It's "rumored" that their new card will not run on "some" of the old boxes. Which means that it will require new equipment for them...

    CS6100 factory default settings?

    The CS6100 has a function in it to reset the system. Have you tried using that feature? Sounds like you may have gotten a clone. Crack open the case and check to see if it is clone or the real thing.
