Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

I have a question on the Coolsat 5000. Has anyone ever used the card reader?

 

nope hubby does it through the puter

 

Well, since Blank says that those are the ones that go through the house's electrical wiring, those are the ones that seem to work well from what I read. I did both of mine the old fashioned way, hardwired. If you need or prefer wireless, go with Blank's recommendation.

 

hey guys i think we should start a tread for n fusion,im interested on one also

 

ok we will....

 

If you pull down on the right hand side of the cs5k it has a slot for a card reader, maybe for plastic?

 

The only time I used the card reader was through a test with my wife's 97W Globecast sub card. It worked.

 

yes we have one

 

Isnt that a dummy slot? You actually have to buy the card reader and attach it inside the stb?

 

we have a card reader just not the card, would like to learn about the cards

 

on my 5000 it's not a dummy slot and with the current bins the slot is activated, but it doesn't work with anything that will let you get DN or B3V, for sure, take my word for it.

 

if you know someone that has dish? cant you copy there card?

 

I would stay away from the cards personally, then you have D* property and thats alot different than a working bin

 

yea thats true, better not play with it

 

no, and don't mess with it, especially since the new B3V, coming soon, cards currently can't be reprogrammed, stick with what we know works now and should work, hopefully, after the swap.

 

kills that idea,,,lol

 

Better off

 

has anyone said what they thinks has happened with this bin?

 

it took long to come out and they were waiting to push the button, again.

 

is any other bin works for cs 5000
