coolsat 6000 down

Nope

 

Yep - still can't have it.

 

Hello guys, anyone knows anything about this?
maybe to come to accept the situation... or to pray for things to change
"A few things you need know about the coo*lsat receivers: The CS 4000-6000 were designed and built by a company called hihtek. Freetech the US importer, branded these receivers Coo*lsat. But hightec and freetech had a falling out. Thus when the time came for new receivers, free tech went to someone else. The company that makes the Ariza extreme were the ones they went to for the 8000 and 8100. They went to the same company that produces the Captain receivers for the 7000.

The 4,5 and 6000 were made by a Korean company called Jinhightek Corp. If you google them and go to their website and hit english at the top, you'll see them listed. And on their website they are called Coo*lsats. Freetech or their affiliates did have a falling out and CS did go to a different manufacturer. The CS4000,5000 & 6000 are discontinued and Coo*lsat is no longer having STB's made at that factory. Somewhere near that factory in Korea are the coders writing software for those STB's. I don't know what the relationship is between the old factory and Coo*lsat, but I believe that the availability of this 3rd-party-software will not continue forever.

The new boxes, such as the CS6100,7100, 8100 are made at a different factory, with different components, different engineering, and with a different team of coders. These are current models, from a factory that still is doing business with Coo*lsat, so it is in their best interest to write 3rd-party-software.

The only way it keeps working is for the manufacturers to keep selling STB's.
Hence, new models. And in this case, a new factory.

So when the day comes when the coders aren't being supported for the CS4000,5000, and 6000, the bins will be gone, and that'll be it....unless other coders like jvvh who, are working on modding the 6100 and other CS bins for the 5000 and 6000...chancysand is not into converting coo*lsat receivers or modding the newer 6100 fixs for the 6000 or older receivers..

The original Norw Group (coo*lsat coders), left about 1 year ago to Captain and Ariza, and left Coo*lsat with no coders, and a new inexperienced Norw Group since then....thats why U have seen a huge decline in Coo*lsat support..."Looks like support for these boxes are gone.
From what i have read there were two people at the norw release site that put bins out for these boxes,the boss and topcat.
Aqui se explica porque no hay support
Here is a c/p quote from topcat explaining why he did what he did....

start quote---
I can tell you that myself and the Boss did what we did for one reason Only ! And that reason is our Loyalty to our members ! And thats the ONLY Reason.
I can understand not wanting to support the 4k any longer because its been around three plus years but IMHO to cut support for the 5 & 6k models was not right ! It was Their fault they did not secure All the chip sets not the buyers ! Those units where still for sale a few short months before they wanted to stop support and thats why we reacted the way we did !
Now that I have made this statement do me a favor PLEASE don't turn this into a Thank You TopCat thread !! I don't do what I do for the Glory ! I do it ONLY because I like Helping people !
end quote.

Maybe somebody will pick up support for these later on,but for right now things dont look good for us who own the 4,5 and 6000,but thats why i say if your going test always have more then one option,because in this hobby things are always changing.



En otra palabras parece que el support para las coosat 4K,5K y 6K esta muerto asi que ve pensando en otra alternativa

 

This was posted almost a week ago but in English only.

 

Old news - 3rd or 4th time this has been posted.

 

Ha Ha Blank

We think alike.

 

LOL

 

Hi Breck, I wana go with another Reciver ,NO MORE COOLSAT. LOL which one should I go with ? please advice me . Thank You
by the way Coolsat is my first reciver and I never got to watch TV with it LOL.

 

All depends on your preferences. Regular unit, PVR and/or HD
Some of the better supported units are Captiveworks, SonicView, Pansat & Viewsat. They are also very popular.

 

errr........ so does that mean there wont be anymore coolsat 6000 files and my $100 reciever is usless?
wat reciever should i buy next?

 

I paid 150.00 Dollars for my Cheap A** Coolsat And Its Not doing anything yet. LOL , Breck do you think going with PANSAT 2800 is better then waiting for coolsat6000 bins to come out ? LOL

 

Is SonicView SV4000 Good Reciver And always on ?

 

I don't know much about the receivers. But the support for both are good. I wouldn't throw your Coolsat out yet, maybe stick it in the closet until it is officially dropped from being supported. I was told Captiveworks is looking to buy out Coolsat, so may be a slight bit of hope in the future.

 

Coolsat 4,5,6 update are out. At bindepot.ca if your looking.

 

I am looking for Coolsat 6000 bins. do you have ? if you do please send it if you can. thank you.
