subscription on a coolsat 6000

[big_sexy00]

I have a coolsat 6000 with a card reader. Can I use the coolsat to sub to bell? I dint want to have to buy a receiver from them if my coolsat will work.

thanks.

uuummm....no

if you want a bell sub you need a bell receiver....

 

[big_sexy00]

but can you explain why

 

[Strino]

The NAGRA3 card and the Coolsat STB are not compatible with eachother.

Right, plus....
... all the major subscription satellite TV systems will only authorize their own receivers.
They include, but are not limited to:
- BEV in Canada, or whatever they call themselves today
- StarChoice in Canada . . . " . . . " . . ." . . . "
- Dish Network in USA
- DirecTV in USA

The card reader was for an adult channel that use to be on 97W KU.....and before someone asks its been long gone

also in addition to anole's post
Globecast will only authorize their own (crappy) receivers

if you take off the cs6000 cover and look... the card reader part isnt even hooked up...

its just for looks...

okay, lets say for arguments sake that im subbed to bell, and i am also using a coolsat for fta, but i dont want to have 2 receivers on top of my tv. why cant i use my coolsat for my fta and my sub? there must be some programming i can do to the coolsat. these hackers were using the card reader to hack signals, why cant i use my legit card that im paying for???

 

[Mr Tony]

The hackers werent using the card reader to hack...they loaded illegal software in it. I have owned probably 1/2 dozen pre-owned Coolsat 5000's that I got off Ebay and all had hackware and none had the card reader in it

As for the other...Bell, Dish, Directv, Shaw and Globecast will only authorize THEIR receiver...plain and simple. If I take a Dish 301 and call Bell and try to activate it (even though the Bell 3100 is EXACTLY the same as Dish 301 but different software and card #) they wont authorize it.

Dude, it can't be done. Give it up. NOTHING has changed in a couple years, and it never will. If you just refuse to believe us, call BELL on the phone and ask THEM if you can use it as a subscription receiver.

There is NOBODY on this site that is using a FTA satellite receiver to SUB to Bell OR Dish OR DirecTv.

I agree and I would also add, or repeat: Shaw, GlobeCast, Sky Mexico.......Dish Mexico......

 

[Anole]

(sigh)

the providers want total control over the receiver,which they wouldn't have if it were a coolsat.
The coolsat was actually a slightly different model # with the cardreader installed.
Mine died years ago but it either changed the model number or added a + to it.

Yeah, the last thing pizza providers want is customers getting unlimited free DVR service.

Besides, from a strictly logistical point of view, how would they train their techs to provide support for the multitude of FTA receivers on the market?

 

[kodaz]

yeah, they would have to learn how to use non bandstacked LNBS!!!!!!!!!!!
rofl, just kidding..

Your recordings disappear if you let your subscription lapse, is that right ?

 

[Tron]

I'm not sure since I don't do pizza (I just eat it) ...

 

[danristheman]

I don't do pizza unless I am at work at pizza hut washing dishes as in plates.

Just kidding, but they were nice boxes, shame they cant do more since they do great bandstacked.
