Thank-you Blnk, now the wife want's the computer. My whipped a** need's to get off!!! Good nite.

 

hey i need help here. i'm trying to connect two cs5000 so on one box i can see whatever i'm watching on the other box. i tried using the same kind of cable that comes from the dish to receiver to connect both boxes and connected them where it says loop out? am i doing this right?

 

Just made a search on e-bay and they are very cheap $2-5.At that price it is worth installing them. But will check on home depot. My dishes are the standard that DN use here and i think they are about that size. thanks

 

69/40-45 is really not good. If you used a larger dish you can get in the mid to high 80's if not better and all channels

 

Hey breck and jerry,
thanks for clarifying my last post about Null and straight cables, dont know why I messed that up. I was trying to fing the list you posted for tony but was unsuccessful. As usual you guys were all over it. Thanks.

 

I'm using a DPP 500, dual and DTV with 3 lnbs and all works fine without using the inline amp. Readings are different with SV but they do work. I also used the signal meter to find the signals. These are my readings from ea box.
SV4K:
110 = S: 69, Q: 99
119 = S: 69, Q: 49
91 = S: 70, Q: 49

CS5k
110 = S: 95, Q: 95
119 = S: 95, Q: 95
91 = S: 97, Q: 95

 

You can tweak the Az for sv4k without affecting cs numbers, put on sv4k loosen 3 nuts in back of dish and move east/west until you get your highest readings 1/8 of an inch at a time works for me.

 

can anybody help with the loop out on how it works and what kind of cable i need to use for the CS5000

 

My nfuss*** went out about 5 min ago. Anyone having the same problem?

 

Still good here.

 

Coolsat 8000/8100 and Homesat Dongles are coming out.
Dongle instructions and bins were just released.

Dongles for other Coolsat models will come soon.
I think the hardware is the same, the bin just needs to be written and tested.

These Dongle are sort of like thumb drives. Just bigger.
Compared to the Captain Dongle which looks like a modem size, these are small.

 

It seems it just got to hot. When it cooled down, it worked again? Any ideas to solve this?

Thank guys.

 

Blow on it

 

How about some ice? Hey I got a better idea, but it in a cooler with ice and beers. Make sure you have enough beers for everyone here LOL

 

There you go - just pour a little ice water on top.

 

Put a fan facing down on it..remember to turn it on. Leave the ice for cuba libres or Margaritas....LOL

 

We'll. I don't know if it was the blowing though I eventually stopped blowing to drink the cubas and margaritas... so now I don't give a [peeeeep] about TV.

Yupiiiiiiii!
