Help with Coolstat 5000

[pbsprez]

I'm having trouble with reception of some channels , particularily with some of the 500 channels , TLC , Learning Channel etc , is anyone else having these issues? I did a factory reset , loaded BIN 119 ....
Does anyone have a idea?
oh ya on BEV

Did you do a factory reset before or after you loaded 119? You should have done it after. And then rescan the satellite.

pbsprez,
I'm having the same problem with Discovery and TLC (the two channels I watched the most). They get choppy pictures and high pitch sound.
Let's stay in touch to see what we find out.

You need to do a data base reset after you load the 119 not before.

Carpenter , thanks for your replies , its appreciated , i did a data base reset , reloaded my channel list etc & things seem to be working ok ... thanks for the help , however one thing i found now is about 4 channels in the low 200's have a broken picture , almost appears that the weather is real bad , but only on those 4 channels , weather is ok

tdm 850 , i did what carpenter said , seems to work for those channels , but i have the same prob as you on lower channels
