Renaming satellites in the Coolsat

[Mr Tony]

Quicky question for the Coolsat owners

Just took the new toy out of the box, the Coolsat 5000 (yes review coming soon) and one thing I noticed is a satellite is missing from the list.

So there is like 20 blank ones you can use...but they all say 0.0W ------, whereas G10 says 123W Galaxy10R

I know how to rename the satellite, but how do I rename the direction part so it doesn't say 0.0W AMC9...didnt know if the 4000 was the same as the 5000 from that standpoint

I believe you can set that via the receiver by selecting USALS and setting the angular position. The 1.3 firmware did that angle in the name deal too.

Aside from that you could do it in NDFEdit.

This is from memory. Me and the Coolsat have parted ways . I'm looking forward to your review.

oh crap forgot it can do USALS....I'll have to see if that works

I'm already starting to like this 5000....

I will be looking forward to that review as well! I'd like to pick one up in the near future if I'm able. By the way if anyone is upgrading and will be selling their Coolsat 4000's, look me up I am going to be setting up a small cable headend for the Rescue Mission that I work for, so I'll be needing a few receivers.

 

[Mr Tony]

review should be up by Friday....just hooked it up tonight

Shawn that worked....move to USALS and enter satellite spot. I use 1.2 because, well I'm use to it and it stores the satellite spot

 

[Shawn95GT]

Cool. It should retain the 83w when you switch it back to 1.2.

[Mr Tony]

yeah it did..went to USALS and changed it to 83.0W then went to 1.2
When I completed moving the dish and saved, then it said 83.0 AMC9

Sounds just like the Fortec Ultra Lifetime.

Looking forward to the review, although I may not be in the market right away.

I noticed the unit has both coaxial & digital optical outputs
and it outputs AC-3

Waiting by my PC for Ice's review of the Coolsat 5000. I'm soooo curious what he thinks of the new toy! Please say that the AC-3 outputs work with the rest of the PBS stations ...

Yours doesn't? I had 'em all working on mine 4000 Pro before I sold it .

I'd be impressed if the 5000 decodes AC3 on-board and passes sound out the left/right connectors from an AC3 source, like the DBS receivers do.

They’ll be a slight delay with the review…family emergency last night. With the pending upgrade tomorrow, I’ll probably get it uploaded Sunday or Monday at latest

But I do know the unit does do AC-3 (need a receiver able to decode it) but it does work out of the box. I scanned in the PBS stations and had audio on my simple home theatre system : )

No, mine doesn't. I'm stuck with Montana PBS (which isn't that bad!). I just don't have the patience or the time to tweak settings, reload, yadda... yadda... yadda.
