Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

thanks! ... even though the game turned out to suck.

 

is there a problem with the toolbar? many of the sections report that they are discontinued.

 

They are brands/models that are reported as not available for purchase any longer.

 

Support is still there, just indicating which units can't be bought anymore.

 

I'm still not able to get to the downloads section... http://forums.f2atv.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606

Is it still down for maintenance?

 

Could be down still, but there are people getting in as CS6100-8100, CW, and a whole list of others have their bins out. And people have posted them some time today on various other sites.

 

Did anyone lose signal on their nF?

 

Lets fix this harle, does your lnbs say "dishpro" on the back and are they twin 2 eyes enclosed in a casing?

 

Not me, both are up and running

 

No, the site has reported Main and Private servers crashed, they are trying to repair.

 

Harle you probably went to sleep which is what i need to do. If they do say DISHPRO then use these settings and go back to port 1 and 3:

119.0W EchoStar 7
LNB Power……………ON
LNB Type……………..OSC-DP
LNB Freq……………..11.250
22khz…………………..OFF
DiSEqC Switch………..1.0
Committed……………..1
Legacy SW……………..OFF
110.0W EchoStar 6,8
LNB Power……………..ON
LNB Type………………OSC-DP
LNB Freq……………….11.250
22khz…………………….OFF
DiSEqC Switch………….1.0
Committed……………….2
Legacy SW……………….OFF

 

No - never even noticed any thing going down.

 

Not even a blink

 

Well, looks like support for CS 4,5, and 6 is back to their normal procedure. They must think we will all trash our 5's and purchase one of the newer models that they support and get a fix out first?

 

thay is unfair

 

Agree it is unfair, but there is nothing we can do about it. If I see that they are totally not supporting the older models, I won't be purchasing their newer models. I will go with another brand. I know for a fact that their 8000 model is junk. I have a friend who has one and it need all kinds of fixes that they are not providing.

 

do you think they will get us up today?

 

You and everyone else. It stands to reason that one day soon the 6100, 7000, and 8000 models will also be their "old" models, and the support for those will be slow just like the support for the 5000 is now.

When some friends and I were looking to purchase a receiver a little over 2 years ago, we were told that cs5k was the way to go, and so we didn't even consider any other receiver. How many people now are being told that cs8k is the way to go?

 

They have in the past provided updates for the older models before the newer ones. It's never the same each time. If they can figure out the coding faster on one or the other, then it gets released sooner. It's nothing to do with new or old. It's on the ease of cracking the code for the new update. The 8000 and 8100 got their updates almost 2 weeks after the other back in Jan/Feb.

 

LOL

Everyone will be looking for the higher model numbers in time.
What is it? 2011 or something like that when everything is to be totally converted over to HD? These plain jane models will be obsolete.
