Coolsat 6000 add satellite

[colbec]

Needed to add a satellite to the factory setup for my new Coolsat 6000 premium. There was no entry for SBS6 so I toodled on down to the first empty slot in the list and started entering the info via the remote.

I told USALS where the satellite is located and the box intelligently prefixed the satellite name with the right W longitude. Good.

BUT for the life of me I could not get anything entered in the frequency box. Now I have been finding the remote on this box a bit temperamental (to say the least) so I kept trying but it did not want any kind of entry into this box that I could find.

So I just left it blank and started a blind scan to see what it would do. The dish motored over, the scan started ok, but it was scanning frequencies down in the 4 region instead of the 11 -12 expected. Ho I thought it thinks this is a C-band, but then it started finding channels and there was ONN.

So I'm puzzled (yet again.) Is this just a quirk of the Coolsat programming, or is there an ONN on C-band and my 30" dish can see it?

(Later I will be uploading a customized list of satellites and will have full control over names and frequencies at that point.)

In the dish setup (antenna setup, dish setup), scroll down and it should be set to "Single" and "10750" for the LO frequency. SOunds like its set for 5150 right now

As to add a transponder, after saving the dish setup, scroll down to manual scan and add a transponder. ONN is at
11742 freq
H polarity
6616 symbol rate (on the Coolsat, you have to enter it as 06616)

Adding Bird to Coolsat 6000 Premium

Can someone walk me through the steps to add a new satellite to my Coolsat 6000 Premium receiver?

Hi Bloomdog

This thread might be useful: Coolsat 6000 add satellite

thanks!

Does that mean that EACH transponder has to be individually entered? is there an easier method? Why won't bllind scanning do this?

Blind searching should find everything (occasionally it does not), the OP accidentally set the LO frequency to 5150 instead of 10750 so the channels he found displayed incorrect frequencies.

I merged the two threads together

its why i actually prefer a channel editor to add all those extra sats , correct sat names & channel names ( everytime i do a blind scan it changes my channel names) so i make a master channel list and blind scan away cause i have a list saved. They also let you remove any and all satellites you actually don't use so it cleans up the list and clears the memory up a bit.

I've been thinking about making a file that has JUST the strong TP's on Ice's list, so when my receivers get overloaded, I can just load it in there and wipe everything out.

I posted my "template" a few days ago.

Channel Master file that is up to date.
