Hello Everyone,
I have a question about receivers.
I am on a very limited income,so I need to find a cheap,but good backup receiver.
I found and bought a coolsat 6000 Premium for about 56 dollars.
Now I think it was from a reputable dealer on flea bay,but who knows right?
It may be a clone or something and I have read that these units can just die out of the blue for no reason.The box looks legit, and so does the receiver.
It is suppose to be brand new not refurbished and from a reputable flea bay dealer with great feed back.
What I want to do is buy a backup just in case. I see most people on here have two or more receivers they are using. I can not afford these higher price models at this point as I am just getting started and still need a lot of stuff.
I can spend another 50+ bucks at most on a back up receiver.
I have found two possibilities on flea bay.
I can not decide which one to purchase.
I was wondering what you guys think about it.
I do not know anything about either of them and I am a total beginner to FTA.
My set up will be a bud and a prime star dish with a motor for FTA only on both.
Legal FTA nothing else.
Bud will have BSC621-2 C band and KU band LNBF.
Prime star I am not sure about yet?
These are the two receivers I am looking at.

I can get this one for about 42 dollars.
It is suppose to be a very new model that just came out.
Something happened to the company selling them,and they are no longer being supported? I think they shut down and went out of business?
I guess they are being wholesaled across the net now.
I do not know why, or anything else about them.
They sold for about 129 dollars when they came out. 135 can.
Pros are they are newer technology and faster than the digiwave?
About 10 dollars cheaper than the digiwave.
Cons are not a lot of people have these, info is kind of hard to come by.
May be harder to trouble shoot if I have problems with it?
Still for FTA only it sounds like it would be a great receiver for a beginner.
It is suppose to be very easy to set up and use?
Well that's it.
Tell me what you guys think.
I put the specs on here so the ones that know what all that means can compare them. Frankly at this point I do not have a clue about half this stuff.
I will have a 7 foot bud and the 39 inch prime star both on motors.
So which one would be the best for a beginner just starting out with FTA.
Thanks for your help

If you want to get into HD, I recommend the Coolsat 8000, or the Pansat 9200. I have both, and they are great receivers.

Thanks I would like one of those new HD units.
Looked at some going for 450 bucks last night on flea bay.
I will be waiting for the price to go way down after the change over by the PPV Industry.
Should be some great bargains soon on flea bay.:up

Yes I saw the digiwave and they are really cheap on flea bay under 50 bucks even with shipping.:up
I heard as a second unit they were ok, that's why I asked about them in the first post.
You can read it above.
Still undecided on that one.

Thanks to Fitch Ratings ( who gives the ratings on Credit and debt, as approved by the SEC, so they have accurate numbers) we have the totals.
DIRECTV's video subscriber base is the third-largest traditional multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD) in the U.S. with about 8.2 million subscribers at the end of 1Q26.
The last time it was reported, it was 8.8M at the end of 2Q25, so only a 600,000 loss for 3 quarters, which is a major improvement, since for many years before that, it was losing 500,000 a quarter, 2 Million a year.
It is now losing less than Dish/Sling combined, I believe the Genre Packs are helping to retain and get subscribers.

Recently came back to DirectTV Satellite service and have two boxes, Gemini and a main HR54.
DirecTV is charging me two "TV access fees" of $10 each, but can only watch TV on the one without the server. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I feel like this was discussed in another thread, but I can't find it. I have T-Mobile and my last iPhone upgrade was in 2020. I want to get a new iPhone, but what is the best way to go about doing it? Should I order the iPhone from T-Mobile directly, or should I buy from the Apple Store? I feel like there are pros/cons to each option.

I have a Hopper with Sling. (Don't know exact model.) A couple nights ago, I went into the DVR screen, and noted that it was recording three programs. Yet I was able to view live TV (that was not one of the channels being recorded.) Did something change? In the past, it would only let me watch one of the channels being recorded, or any recording in the DVR menu. Maybe it was streaming, although there was no indication of that?
Apologies if this has been covered; I searched and didn't find anything.
Thanks.

Anyone have a DirecTV Local Channel Connector that you'd like to get rid of at a reasonable price? DirecTV is currently in a contract dispute with owner of my local ABC affiliate.

I did that. The response was that the LCC is not available. Escalated the issue to a tech support person with the same results.
Could be out of them I guess ... I'd keep trying, every 3-4 days.I did that. The response was that the LCC is not available. Escalated the issue to a tech support person with the same results.
If they are not out of them as them WHY you can't get one, seeing Your in a Dispute. Thats what they are for.
I would make them give you a real answer, don't let them off the hook.
I had one, and it worked well, but I believe I gave it to another D* friend (also had a AM21), I know I gave them away ...
According to the tech support guy, they don't have any in stock. He said I should receive an email when and if they have them. I even told him I would accept a refurbished unit.
I'm not sure your going to find any Refurbished ones as D* doesn't ask for them back.According to the tech support guy, they don't have any in stock. He said I should receive an email when and if they have them. I even told him I would accept a refurbished unit.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?
As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.

Hello everyone, new guy here. I'm trying to solve problem I'm having with Dish bonus view channels. When I'm watching the bonus view channels then I switch back to regular dish channels, after few minutes the screen flips to black and after 30 seconds flips back to regular channels and continues to flip back and forth until I turn off TV. After I wait 30 minutes and turn back on , I can use regular channels again. So, its after I switch from bonus view channels to regular dish channels the problem starts. Been trying to fix this for a month, but no luck
Here what I've done.
i contacted Dish support and they sent me a new Joey3, but no help. Switched to a different HDMI input on TV, no help. Used different HDMI cable , no help. Used different electrical wall plug, no help.
Finally got a Dish tech to check it. He ran all systems check and was OK. Finally he brought in a small TV and plugged in the HDMI out from the Joey to the small TV. He could not get the problem to occur on his small TV, so the new Joey was working OK. So, then the problem must be myTV. He made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there must be a problem with the analog to digital switch in my TV. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, or is it time to be looking for a new TV? My tv LG OLED65C8PUA. TV has been trouble free til now. Thanks
