Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

the lower number will always be on the left unless your aiming at a "east" satellite. 119/110 9 degrees apart, 91/82 9 degrees apart. I would much rather get 110/119 and then 91, i have 82 but its not that great but doesn offer a few HD channels if you have a HD receiver.

 

Hey Blank. Is that all that 82 is good for? Getting HD channels?

 

Goto http://lyngsat.com/

See the channel guide.

I think i get 140 channels with 82

 

Cerillo...check your pm I sent a link for "Coolsats for dummies" and it shows most of the things you wanted to know about. I am about to add a dish when it warms up here. Good Luck

 

hey deepwater can you send me the coolsat for dummies too? Thanks

 

Thanks Blank. I checked out that site and it shows all the hd channels. My next question, are they all channels that i am already getting with 91?

 

Hey Divindra. The Coolsat for Dummies is on Brecks site bindepot. Posted by Hotwyre

 

No they are different channels

 

thanks i'll check it out

 

got it ,thanks deepwater...

 

Thanks tvaddict. I'll check it out.

 

Thanks Blank. I will try to get 82 on when it is not snowing so much

 

I looked at it and it looks like it has a male serial end. To hook to box don't you need a female end? I read somewhere that the 5000 up takes a straight cable and the 4000 uses a null one. I don' know myself. Does yours have a female end?

 

I thought the site was just like Brecks, but it is called "my friends are your friends" but everything looked like Bin depot. I sent you the link on pm just in case.

 

Your welcome CJ

 

Different site but thats also run by breck

 

Blnk, know anything about a usb/serial port (female) cable for cs? Evething I've found has a male end on it.

 

I used usb to serial 232, and, my old 232 with females"" on both ends. Then plug them together. I use regular 232 not null on cs 5k
If you have old 232 serial to serial, plug one end into box, and new usb to serial "male" cord into that. Thay also send driver needed to work on port #1. I bought on flea bay for $ 1.95 but $5.00 shiping

 

My Bev is still going out every 5 minutes for about a minute at a time. I understand that manually entering keys is working for those on DN but will it help me as well? Are you (DN users) having continually interupted service with autoroll off and manually enterered keys?

 

Also,
Congrats to Blank and Jenni on senior membership!! I have a long ways to go before I get that and I only know half of what you guys do so I may never get there!!
