Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

this is how you get your guide to show the correct info. thanks again to blnkstare for helping us out as he always does.

 

Your welcome chris, lets keep this thread as a help all and we all benefit. Thanks for the support Jerry

 

Hey Blank & Chris. Just for the hell of it , I tried the instructions for getting better EPG(even though i have no new bin), but with no luck. As Blank said i will probably have try again when we have a new bin. Thanks again fo the help guys.

 

After you perform the factory rest and load the new bin and update the channels then try the fav settings for EPG

 

Why do you always say to do a factory reset? Usually i jus put the new file in and it works fine. Are you supposed to do a factory reset?

 

its seems that after you load so many bins on the receiver it acts a little funny. so doing a factory reset puts all the settings back to what they were when you got the box. just make sure you know what all you Dish Settings need to be set back to after you do it because all settings(except the bin)are erased

 

on my cs 5000 i messed up all my settings for my dishes 119, 110 and 77. The qualities and levels were all red and when i would do a auto scan everything would show for a couple hours. When it stop showing i would auto scan and it would work for another couple of hours. Any reason why?

 

Hey Blank, I tried that site f2atv. it must be a huge site and very busy because it took like 5 minutes to load and open the front page. It still says there are no new bins from coolsat though

 

You are supposed to erase all aspects of last bin so you dont get glitches

 

Yeah thats top CS and IV200/300 site Norwgroup.

Nothing yet

 

hey divindra. You got me stumped, but i am no expert at this like jerry breck and blank. when the sat stops working for you, is it just saying "scrambled channel" or is it saying "bad or no signal"

 

congrads Divindra on your new status, it takes a long while no move up

 

I saw that there is not bin yet, darn it, was hopeing it would be before now

 

Jenn: Stop squeezing that tax refund and go buy a new stb. You can squeeze is as hard as you want, you aren't going to get any more.

LOL

 

Does that mean if I wanted to get bev, it would be 20 degrees east of DN

 

Wife is watching lifetime right now

 

If you go here and type in your zip code it will tell you what you have to do to set up your dish. All you need is a compass and someone watching the signal strength

bill im haivng trouble keeping track of you, you keep bouncing around..

 

Bev is 19 degrees south south west of DN 91.0 W and 82.0W but the skew and elevation are different. easiest screnario is to buy a 2nd dish with dual lnbs for BEV

 

I am stuck in this one now, I promise not to be moving around
