Coolsat info bar / AC-3

[colbec]

Just getting used to my Coolsat 6000 - there is an arc of 5 small circles in the middle of the info bar displayed when viewing a channel - I'm sure these are informative, I guess the extreme left is a $ sign indicating an encrypted/pay channel, and if my guess is right the circle on the extreme right indicates audio in ac-3. I have not yet seen any use of the 3 circles in the middle. Can anyone enlighten me on what they do? Manual is not very helpful here.

2nd one from left is the audio and shows left, right or stereo
4th is for teletext (not used on this side of ocean so its moot)

Just found an example of #4 in use, NYN9 on AMC5, an OTB channel with the odds running as a ticker at the bottom of the screen. Fourth circle has lines like a page of text.

That just leaves the middle one, I will keep watch for it in use.

Heh, there's an understatement!

Saw that , but I couldn't figure out how a Coolsat would access it with remote, good eyes.
