Yeah, BUT, can I get a replacement remote?
And, of course, it came with the obligatory hack firmware on it so I'll have that to deal with....
I have a 10 year-old All-In-One remote that I paid 9.99 for...will that work?
I think I found something that will work...
MULTI SAT Universal Remote Control for FTA TV DVD VCR - eBay (item 370033559316 end time Apr-16-08 01:10:26 PDT)
damn stogie...that sucks
I did post the firmware for "clean" which will get rid of the old software. The 8000 you can't go backwards with software unless you clean it (well clean) first...lemme find it
edit: found it

Is that a singlelayer board? If so it may be repairable with a GOOD hobby or commercial soldering iron and some fine wire. (I have used strands from a chunk of lamp cord.) The cheap irons will do damage, but a good one in the hands of a repair tech can probably fix it.
stogie was that thing stepped on??????
or broke in shipping??
I'm sure somebody has remote for sale for it, might be pricey.
My ebay days are over, I think I had exactly .500 getting- robbed average, so I quit while I still had a decent losing percentage!

I went ahead and ordered one of the universal FTA remotes like in the link I posted...
And as far as repairing the old one....can I use a cutting torch to melt the wire? That's about how much soldering I can do....

It looks like it was damaged before shipping.... no plastic shards in the box or anything, no damage to the shipping box.
Even with buying the remote I just ordered I'll still only be out of just over 200.00....for an HD receiver that does S2, I think I did okay...
Yep, guess you did alright lol. If that one don't work you could always find one of those "learning remotes" and send it up to iceberg, let him program it for you!
If my coolsat 5000 remote works for it, I will let you borrow it. Do not use anyways, just need it for resale...
Once you've exhausted all other solutions, shoot more pictures, and if I think I can fix it, I'll tell ya.
Would be happy to give it a shot, no strings at all.
Just wouldn't want you counting on 100% success, without a backup plan.
Looks encouraging, but hard to tell from only those two shots.

correct. The 8000 uses a different interface/graphics/menus than the 4K/5K/6K so the remotes dont clash
so let me get this stright..the person that sold you this unit on ebay sold it with pre-flashed hacked software? Im assuming for DN and BEV?? If so, this person had a huge set to sell that online...
Yea...my ebay record as of late hasnt been that good either...i think im .500 too for the last 6 orders...

not really. I've purchased numerous boxes off Ebay and other than my Pansat 9200 (which was factory fresh) the rest have had old hack software in it (even though the description said "the newest factory software" in it). It didnt get anything it shouldn't have but it had old hack software in it
As long as they don't say "the newest hack to get Dish or Bell" in the description, they're not doing anything wrong (I know that pains me saying that).
I already ordered a new universal one, that was in that link I posted above...it Looks EXACTLY like the one I have, other than the name on the remote. We all already know that just a few factories make all the boxes, remotes must be the same.
I had just about destroyed the housing getting it apart....but if you want to give it a shot...<shrug>
Thanks for the offer...I have a Coolsat 5000 sitting right above the 8000, remote from the 5000 does not operate the 8000 in any way.
But that was danged nice for you to offer....:upLike Ice said...happens all the time....doesn't bother me....that is the chance you take, I got this one when his auction ended with no bids, I emailed him with an offer after and he took it. this one came from Montreal, QUE, BTW...took almost two weeks to get here....I have sent an email to the seller informing him about the remote....that and 5 bucks will get me some coffee I bet....
Again, that's the chance you take to get a good deal....Coolsat 8000's are still selling for over two bills...so I still did alright as long as it works when I get a remote....
you might be able to program your coolsat 5k remote to function as STB or VCR
should be able to follow the programming section in the manual
can't remember what the default code was maybe 000 or 008
or scan for the code
just a thought
Thanks George I might just try that until the remote gets here, they just emailed me, its shipped...danged fast service....I just ordered it about 6:30 CST.....
:up
