I'm total newbie have just received my brand new CoolSat 6000. I have searched and read, which why I have got as far as I have, but could not find answer related to my problem. So I hope someone here will be kind enough to help me out. My set up is as follows: Dish 500 pointing to E* 119 and E* 110 Regular 18" Dish pointing to E* 65.1 Cables from these Dishes go into SW64 switch with: 119 into 1a & 1b 110 into 2a & 2b 65.1 into 3a & 3b Although SW64 is capable going into 4 different receivers I just have IRD 1 connected to my CoolSat 6000 via Power inserter. I carried out the following steps: 1) Loaded the factory bin (COOLSAT6000_100_20060308.stb) then connected to TV and did Factory reset. 2) Loaded latest bin (COOLSAT_NORW_147_20070818.stb) then connected to TV and did Factory reset. Now is the area I'm having difficulty with. I went to Dish Settings and I'm not sure what to enter for Sattellite : 65.1 / 110 / 119 LNB power :__________ LNB FRQ :__________ 22kHz :__________ DISEqC Switch :__________ Committed :__________ For 65.1 / 110 and 119 I get level of 89% but Quality of only 4% - 6%. The weird thing is I get 90% for Level and Quality for 110 and 119 but on different satellites. I did the Auto Scan for 65.1 / 110 / 119 and couple of others where I got the 90% lock for 110 & 119. The issue is some channels display but most do not. then when I scroll thru the channels the channels I was getting then do no display. I have had ALL the channels from 65.1 / 110 / 119 via D'network reciever so I know the Dishes are pointed correctly and the wiring is correct for Dish Reciever. So what am I doing wrong? What should I have the Dish setting set to for my wired configuration using SW64? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
The reason your quality is poor is because your settings are not correct. Go to this site and get all the coolsat info you need. they have some great information. http://forums.f2atv.com/
Thanks for the link Bill038. I found that I need to make the following settings: For 119 LNB power :___on_______ LNB Type : __OCS-DP__ LNB FRQ :___11.250___ 22kHz :____off______ DISEqC Switch :___on___SW64____ Committed :____port 1 ______ For 110 LNB power :___on_____ LNB Type : __OCS-DP__ LNB FRQ :___11.250___ 22kHz :____off______ DISEqC Switch :___on___SW64____ Committed :____port 2______ For 65.1 (This one I'm guessing as it is connected to port 3) LNB power :___on_____ LNB Type : __OCS-DP__ LNB FRQ :___11.250___ 22kHz :____off______ DISEqC Switch :___on___SW64____ Committed :____port 3______ Even after this I'm not getting Quality Signal, only 6%. When I connect the D'network receiver I get the channels, so that rules out bad wiring. Any help is apprciated.
I know you have a coolsat and this is a different stb, but it may be the same problem. You may want to check it out and see if it works for you. http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/2/385891.html
Thanks again Bill038. I will look into that. Although I'm not sure how I would connect my DN Receiver along with CoolSat6000 receiver at the same time. on another note, I have managed to get Quality in the 90% range with a twist, the thing now is in the Dish Setup when I scroll to, lets say, 110 E* satellite it locks onto 119 (which is what is displayed on top right of the screen. And when I scroll to 119 it locks onto 110. This is really confusing. Also I can't get lock onto 65.1 at all.
Check your set up. If you have updated your bin it will sometime switch your port settings. There are time that these boxes have a mind of their own and do things that have you scratching your head.
hey how did you get the quality to 90% post it please because i am having the same problem good level at 91% but quality is 6% help please newbie here too! i would like to watch tv today thank you for help
