    Looking to buy a new Coolsat receiver

    I just purchased the 7100 off ebay for $79 with free shipping, however I am not very happy at all. The 7100 does not begin to compare with the 4000, 5000, or 6000, I have one of each. The 7100 will not pick up all the channels the others will. You can not change the channel numbers, when...

    legal subscribtion using FTA receiver

    Okay, now that I have made the change & gotten setup correct, I still have some issue. Quality on 3ABN is now 94, and I did scan and get 11 channels on 91, quality is 63 or 64 on all channel but no sound or pictures. There may be a little cloud cover today, I was getting 97 on 3ABN on Friday...

    This is still very confusing to me, but I will get it. So what I am getting now is 101 and 105. I will have to reverse.

    legal subscribtion using FTA receiver

    I can't seem to get this right. Now that I think I have it set up correct, when I scan 97W I get the AMC 4 channels and when I scan 101W the only thing I get is an Echostar test pattern. I must have it backwards. Looking from the back of the dish towards the LNBF I have the right hand LNBF in...

    I am not doubting your word, but I doubt anyone will believe you get that kind of mileage, or I should say I doubt many people will believe you get that kind of mileage. But then who care if they believe it or not, as long as you no its true that all that matters.

    Rec'd the above item today, some issue setting up, don't reallly know what I'm doing. Clamp left side LNBF on unit, is that left facing dish or from the back of the dish? I would think facing dish. I have tried both ways. Also what settings do I need to change in receiver setup. I have...

    My Dad was not into Country Music, but my Mom was. Dad like the big band sound. The tapes he had were the cassette tapes he had recorded in recents years off of a local radio station. Story tapes of old radio programs like Amos & Andy, the Green Hornet, and others. They also had many...

    I didn't know that for sure, but thought that might be the case. It will gives me something different until I can get around to getting a motor and installing another dish.

    You're right about the black & white. Life is not the same when your parents are gone. My Dad also passed away in 2006 but it was Oct. Mother a few years earlier. Sounds like you also saw many of the much older western B movies like TOM MIX, KEN MAYOR, LAS LAROUE, ROY CALHOUN, and...

    legal subscribtion using FTA receiver

    I will look into setting up a dish for 97W. I do get the local stations with the network news, but in my opinion the networks are not always a good source as to what is really going on, so I prefer to also include others, such as Lou Dobbs on CNN and maybe Fox news. I am not a trusting person...

    legal subscribtion using FTA receiver

    There are many pay channels on AMC4 which I might be interested in. But in general news type channels are what I am looking for. I have several receivers and a couple of Dishes, so I could put up another stationary dish if I could subscribe to what I want without paying for Directv or Dishtv...

    I'm not sure I know what those channels are. I'm talking about Fox News, History, those type channel. When my Dish contract runs out, I will have to do something else, can no longer pay their prices, when all I ever watch are news type channel and a few others.

    I've had a stationary dish pointed to AMC4 for the Hope & 3ABN channels for many years, I was wondering if there is a way to subscribe to the pay stations on this satellite using my coolsat receivers. Kinda the way we used to do with C-band.

    AMC4 Problems - Need Help!

    Originally I had 1 receiver to a 36" dish, then I had 2 receivers to an old channel master 1 meter dish, 1 receiver was looped out from the other. My future thoughts were to use the 36" for G10. So I was only using 2 lines into the house. I did know 1 of the lines was bad. Years ago when I did...

    AMC4 Problems - Need Help!

    I did find my problem was bad cables from dish, was underground in conduit. I had 3 lines, only 1 is still good. I had to loop all 3 receivers together. So now I have 97% quality on the Coolsat 6000 and 82% on the Coolsat 4000 & 5000 for 3ABN. Thanks to those who responded to my problem.

    AMC4 Problems - Need Help!

    I've had that same issue many times, seems like it happened mostly after a power outage. I did not think to redo a scan before I went to the dish to make changes. I did put the larger dish back to year ago settings the best I could and left it, so yesterday I turn receiver on just to...
