DownLoads for CoolSat

[gpat]

Is there any downloads for Coolsat that wont void my warranty to put in all the FTA channels and Sats and let me chose which ones I want to put in the favortites?
Surely theres got to be a better way than scanning each sat individually.
Theres already a gzillion sats(60 to be exact) programmed into my sats list.
Im guessing this is a factory default entry and can be added to as the market expands.

 

[Mr Tony]

really no such thing and here are some reasons why
-some people can see the Atlantic satellites and some cannot. So if you load those Atlantic satellites and give it to someone in say Nevada, they can't see those
-channels change all the time...best thing to do is blind scan each satellite

I've done the "factory default" a couple times but I ended up scanning in all the channels again..took a while but it worked

 

[gpat]

Well my blind scan on G10 got 4 powervue channels and nothing else.
These are all scrambled. Im sure theres at least 30 more that could be viewed
but Im having no luck.
I realize that out of the 60 sats programmed in the Default data base that
some will be usable and some not for some locales vs others. This is why I csaid I would weed thru them by sat and only include the ones that I find attractive.
Is this something ChannelMaster can do? Has anyone taken the time and effort to compile
data that would be usable and editable?

 

[Mr Tony]

your dish cant be aimed at G10...got some money says you're on H1 or whatever it is at 127W...there are 4 scrambled channels there...need to move it 4 degrees east

How Embarrassing
you were dead on that one
I dont know how that sat didnt shift with the rest when corrected for new actuator #s
Im sure they were all selected to shift with the new alignment.
It said 74 channels were found on H and 18 on V polarity is that about right?

when I've aimed dishes at G10 I usually do the same thing....end up on H1

That doesnt sound right. There are more on V than H and only about 40 free channels on G10...

 

[gpat]

That was for all channels free and scrambled
havent yet figured out how to cull the $ ones in a search yet.
I think you do this thru the auto mode not blind search correct?
Im ready to pitch the whole channel list I have so far and start fresh.
I would also like to sort them by sat so that when Im on that bird
I can surf thru them all.
Any tips?
Im from the school of hard knocks...got many a lump on my head.

Not nearly that many channels on G-10R horizontal (scrambled or otherwise)...

Almost everything on G-10R is vertical. Exceptions are VA channel(s), UWTV, and Research Channel. Those are horizontal.

 

[Mr Tony]

do a blind scan and not a auto scan and see what channels come up

Grrrrr.... There goes another of my Hughes dual polarity C-120 LNBs I'm going to become a pro at installing these

What do you mean about that? Want yours back lol?
It works very well.

 

[Tron]

Nah, I have eight... well, seven of them I knew I'd be needing them, and the price was right ($60 shipped for a box of 8)...

A few of the guys here have them, and they seem to be excellent LNBs
