Move your dish until you see Nimiq 1,3 91W show up in the top right corner on the DISH Setting page. Then aim it left, right, up and down until you get the best quality and strength.
For your information it did not automatically save as a zip, I had to manually save it as a zip. I don;t see anywhere in the posts that says that it had to be changed to a zip. Chill dude... Thanks Breck! I realized that I needed to save it as a zip then extracted the file. It was defaulted as some weird file extension.
Normally when you download a file, it will be a .rar or .zip. This is just the file has been compressed so it takes less space on the server it is stored, and because it is smaller, it will download faster. They then have to be extracted using Winrar, Winzip, or some similiar program. Once it is extracted, then you will have the actual bin file which you will upload to your receiver. For Coolsat 5000, 6000 it will end in .stb. As for other Coolsats and other type of receivers, some may be .stb, others end with different extensions.
I am new at all this and the 151 bin was my first download. Know the 151 is not working. Is there a new bin and if there is not how long does it usually take for a new bin to become available? Thanks again for everyones help. Everyone here is great.
Thanks Breck. I'll keep an open eye. Hope everyone had a wonderful and scary Halloween...............

I loaded the 100 file to original factory setting according to "bill038" instruction and reloaded the 152 lates file. After auto scanning it displays all channels in the guide listing with times and everything. However, within the guide box and after selecting any channel it gives "Scramble Channel" message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you are using it on dn, they have just been hit again. You will have to turn auto roll of and reinstall the new keys/
My bad, I was not patient enough, the keys rolled and everything is back working. It just took some time for them to roll
Hi Any one has the TP for CNN and Fox News channel? I can't still get them after trying everything with bin 152 and autoscan. Thx
