Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

scrambled channel mean your bin is not allowing you to view it. bad or no signal is hardware problem or snow on the dish or heavy rain/winds

 

there are atleast 5 out there now, where has jerry been?

 

Which one?

 

Hey guys. Still no news out of f2atv. site yet.Got a question, does anyone know or understand why it takes much longer to get new bins on the cs4k,5k,& 6k models, as compared to cs6100,7000,ect? Are they that much different? Not complaining, just tryin to understand. It just seems to me that if they(the coders) can updated some models, the others would be fairly similar. Again, I'm a "newbie" and just wondered if anyone knew. I have read that it may have something to do with "cloned" models.

 

Hi Guys:

I need a advice which is the best FTA Rec is out there, i am using Coolsat 5000 & 4000 right now they are perfect but haing too much problem with down time.

they are easy to update and program, does any other brand like Viewsat Ultraversion2,Viewsat ProCaptiveWorks 800s,Captiveworks 700s Sonicview, nFusion Nova any one like coolsat please let me know..........

Thank you

 

wife is wathing lifetime???? im having withdrawl symptoms

 

The way things are up and down with FTA right now, I would try and spend as little money as possile if looking for another receiver. Something like the Viewsat Lite model at around $100. That way if things change badly you didn't blow a bunch of money. I'm not saying we are going down and out, just making a safe statement.

speak of the devil himself, good to see you jerry

 

Hi Jenn, I'm always around on here somewhere. I just keep a low profile to stay out of trouble,LOL.

i know what you mean.. just give me the info leave the drama

 

ok this is somthing that i read in other fta place ...... one in spanish and other in english, they said that coolsat dont want to realese new bin cse they hav a lot of clones of 4k 5k 6k that why , they even said that no more new bins for this models , you know somthing about jeery , breck , bill , cse maybe its a good moment to change for other brand , sv,vs,ps , not more than 3 days without signal , cs , maybe 2 weeks maybe more

 

where did you read that?

 

Dont beleive everything you read. Back in December cs4/5/6 were the first comming out with fixes while 61/7/71/8/81 where the last so go figure... It will get better, they are a new team at NORW, replacing the ones that left... all in time

 

ok i feel better now... thanks blank

 

Your welcome Jenni, just because i test other stbs doesnt mean that i would ever abandon my CS5000 unless forced too. CS gets the best signal strength i have ever seen, my s and q are 97-99 mostly 99 all the time! Picture quality is very good too

 

Thanks Blank. You answered my question from a prev. post about the cs4k & 5k bins.

 

hubby is considering getting another brand as we speak and having both

 

Always good to have a back up but check out the site ojailbird gave to show which stbs are up and which are down, check it daily and make your own decisions

 

any one have any idea about when the new bins for CS 5000.....

 

i thought about getting rid of my 5000 once i see how the cw800 works for a while but after checking the going rate for them, i think i will keep it and use it till it burns out and then use it for a boat anchor before i sell it for 30 dollars.
