Coolsat 5000 Questions PART 2

i just rechecked and as of 5:18 p.m. eastern standard time, still no bin release for the 5000 on free air fta or on breck's site. so i am pretty sure. not 100%, but like 99.6% sure.

 

well at least there is that .04% chance.

 

i think that there is more like a 99.6% chance that 2moro i am calling to get my cable hooked back up

 

hey what's going on? are the bins out yet?

 

Sorry for asking because i can see the bins aren't out yet. Hopefully soon.

 

as of 5:55 pm eastern, still no 167 on free air fta or on brecks site.

 

Not yet

 

How's it going Blank? I'm still waiting on my heavy duty switch, maybe tomorrow or Tuesday. Thanks for the advice.

 

hey blnkstare, i have a question for you since you know about switches. i have a 44 switch with 119,110, and 129 hooked up to lnb inputs 1-3, respectively. i have a single lnb dish pointed at 91. if i hook up 91 to lnb port 4 so that i dont have to keep hooking my box to either the switch or the single lnb dish, my 91 lnb frequency has to change to 11.200 instead of the 11.250 it is supposed to be. this causes my not to be able to pick up transponders 30,31,and 32 and i lose a bunch of channels on 91. do you have any ideas? i can't unhook 129 btw because it would cost me my hd on the big tv.

 

hopefully bins will be out soon.

 

what happens when you go back to 11.250 on 91 chris? do you lose the signal?

 

yep, it goes to the red line of death on top and 5% quality on bottom.

 

are you using DiSEqC 4 on 91 in your receiver setup? 91 committed on 4?

 

good ole rabbit ears, they have saved the weekend

 

good to hear that jenni, at least you can watch something. Hope the bins comes out soon for ya.

 

i have 119 set to 1, 110 set to 2, and 91 set to 4. signal strength is like 86-90 % but red, signal quality is for poop. unless i switch to lnb freq 11.200, and then i go green but miss 125 or so channels, and half the ppvs. if i hook straight to the single lnb dish and set freq. to 11.250 i get 404-407 channels.

 

good luck to all, i am off to watch the race on dn. see ya's all later.

 

funny, we usually do not watch that much tv but when you dont have any tv to watch thats when you want to watch tv

 

i need to watch the nascar race too, it's about to start, i'll you all later. hope the bins come for all soon. take care.

 

Cool
