Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

senior member?

 

Thanks Jerry....I replaced the old CS5K switch for the same reason.I was considering replacing the switch with a Chieta WSD-2041,that I have read that are very good.Also was considering a 22kz tone switch,but I don't know if it is a good choice.This is where I need someone with expertise,like you guys.
Right at this moment all I get is sat 119,on 110 I get no signal.Any suggetions?
thanks

 

It sounds like (and I am no expert) but the settings on the machines are acting against each other.I had the same issue with the v/s ultra and the cs/5. Are they just standard lnb's on each dish??

 

That's correct....standard lnbs on each dish. It start working ok again about 10 min. ago. How you fix your problem??

 

I didn't know your old switch was doing the same thing. I guess heat could be a problem but I would expect the other setup would do the same thing to the other receiver if it was a heat problem. Could possibly be a bad connection or cable that when it gets hot it moves apart internally just enough to disconnect. Thats one of those problems that will drive you nuts. The Chieta is a good switch but I don't think you would need a 22k tone switch with standard LNBs. Just my way of looking at it.

Sorry bill et al. I meant to say that the bin was added on May 5th as well. Thanks for being on top of that. I am not sure if they are even working bins??

 

?

 

Thanks..If I experience the same problem tomorow when the weather is hot,I will test the cables with a multimeter,specially the one that show no signal.Maybe the one from the lnb to the switch. This standard LNB with 2 outputs..is there a posibility that one side go open when the weather is hot???Anyway to check them with a meter??
Is working fine now, I did this test....selected 2 channels on diferent sats(119/110)and change channels a few times and it switched sats nicelly.
If the weather could be the issue,maybe I should move to Alaska!!!ha.
thanks again for your help.

 

147 bin 6100 cs is not working been down since may 5 2008 4:00pm

 

Thanks for that. Sorry I was behind the times with my response.

 

hey no problem bro just the kids want tv lol

 

Is your dish pro single, twin or quad. Sounds like twin if you only have 119/110 with 2 cables coming out. In order to connect up to 4 stb's you must use a dp34 switch 119-1 110-2 91-3 NOTE LEGACY LNBS will not work on DP switches, you must use a DP LNB for 91 for this to work

 

Ok my first question is you have 2 dishes? 1 pointed at 119 and 1 pointed at 110? Secondly with that simple setup it sounds like 1 stb power was left on and the DiSEqC ports were blown, if you are only using ports 1 and 2, shut off power from back, unplug power cable to stb and then unscrew coax cable from back of stb and change cables from 119 port 1 to port 3 and 110 from port 2 to port 4 and see if you get signal (which you probably will) meaning you blew ports 1 and 2. Even the best spaun switches will blow out when switching cables with power to the stb on, front button does nothing. Please post results and let us know.

 

Mine do too. And so do I. But only one sat working (VS plat) and therefore one tv working right now.
