coolsat 6000 discontinued ?????

C/P from another board.. We will not be honoring warranties for Coolsat 6000 on end-user purchases with receipts dated after October 31st 2007. The Coolsat 6000 is a discontinued model and there is a prevalent problem with clone units on the internet. All authorized dealers should stop selling Coolsat 6000 after October 31st 2007. For more information email "sales at coolsatusa.com". This policy also affects our previous models Coolsat 4000 and Coolsat 5000.

Re: coolsat 6000 discontinued ?????

Any comments from the 'Big Guys'? Is this for real? Is this why we are not getting the new fix for the 4k, 5k, & 6k models yet? If it is, that's not good. I have one. 8-(

Re: coolsat 6000 discontinued ?????

They are discontinuing sales not support. 4,5, and 6000's all recieved new bins after the last ecm. In fact they had new bins before all of the other newer boxes.

It's been suggested that the delay could be because of the need to include "clone" killing code in the bins.

Re: coolsat 6000 discontinued ?????

The suppport of coolsat 4/5/6000 are still there. They just stopped making 6000 model, if anyone buy coolsat 6000 after this date "October 31st 2007" will not get any warranty from coolsatusa.com

Re: coolsat 6000 discontinued ?????

The 6000 was discontinued on Oct 2007 a major ECM hits Nov 27 2007 which was also the day CoolSat had told all dealers to remove the 6000 from the shelf What up wiyth that? and now another ECM and all their new boxes already have fixes
