Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

I over complicated things. Checked all the key sites to confirm I had the latest. Not all sites have same keys!!!
Any way, since your's is working, I cycled power to the box. Guess what??? The lab is back up!!!
Thanks for the confirmation and I hope you have a great week.

I did note the background images were absent from the setup screen and was replaced with 'black'. Just had the menu buttons. All back now.

hey guys. i was wondering why some of my international channels dont work. Mostly the southasian ones. others work though. they are on 118. it worked before and now when i change it to that channel, the screen scratches, and shakes a bit. (basically unwatchable) anybody know y?

 

allright thanks blank

 

Check your Dish or lnb they might have moved in the wind or rain. Or can be loose, sounds like your signal quality is lower than 65

 

Your watching now? Your welcome.

 

yea. it is. but there wasnt really a terrible storm. how do i check my lnb or dish? (the 110 and 119 signals are fine)

 

Which box would you recommend: CW600, SV 4000 or VS ultra, would you buy a PVR now or wait a few months. I am leaning for CW for the price, dont know if Nagra 3 will make us buy new receivers, how is CW support, where can we get bins for this box?
Thanks for the opinion.

 

if 119/110 are fine you wouldnt be getting pixelation. What sat is not good? Is it the combo 119/118.8? or a B3V sat?

 

b4 i had 110, 119 and 121. then 121 stopped working, and i put 118.8. I dont think its a combo,because my committed is different for 119 and 118.8. Its not a bev.

 

118.8 is LO 10750 did you move the lnb to get that sat from 121?

 

da dn company set it up at 118.8 for the guys living downstairs to get international channels. so i figure ours must be 118 as well, same dish.

 

Ok make sure your settings are as follows:

Satellite 118.8 DISH Anik F3
LNB power = ON
LNB TYPE = Single
LNB Freq = 10.750
22Khz = OFF
DiSEqC Switch = 1.0
Committed = where its committed same as 121 was
Legacy SW = OFF

 

my lnb type for all of them are ocsdp. I'm not home right now, so i can't switch it. But when i get a chance, i'll post back on the forum or pm you. Right now, i have to go to sleep, but thanks for the help. I'll post back some time tomorrow hopefully.

 

Ok, LoveFTA, Take it easy

 

Thanks Breck & Blank. Do you know approx. what the $ amount for that new SV would be? And how does the SV compare to the CS? I mean picture quality & set up. Thanks for any input
