You are, indeed, mistaken. Coolsat has discontinued hardware support for said units for inability to get parts from the suppliers. Coolsat currently offers a conditional hardware upgrade. Coolsat continues to support the functional lower end units at the official release site coolsatusa.
However, NORW Group, an unsupported third party firmware vender, has dropped its support for the lower end CS units because the 4000 bin is wide open for other hackers [and Echostar], and the 5000 has a clone [Cooltec]. There is no clone for the 4000 [who would clone junk?]. I am not aware of any clone of the 6000.
As pertaining to the wide open NORW CS 4000 bins, every time a new NORW Echostar Narga2 hack was released Echostar shortly made it useless. Apparently, the same observations were made with the 5000 and 6000 units. All you have to do is check this forum's logs of the ecms and corrolate those with the NORW lower end releases....until the floor gave way; realization. It's rather tough being targeted as number one in this racket.
I hope these corrections to your publication above helps your reputation, my friend! Who are you going to believe? Coolsat? or NORW Group groupies? Always check your sources, firstly.

What in the ale are you talking about?
The last working bin for CS4/5or6000 was July 16 bin 178.
This is Sept...by my count...that is not support buddy.
There might be some testers who discover an older working bin...but that really don't count.
And there is nothing on the CS home site but a factory flash bin to restore the OS.
But there are no FTA bin files released there.
That is not the release site friend.
I respect your right to freedom of speech...but be careful who you attack...and know what your talking about first.
And as far a hardware goes...there are lots of qualified repair shops that fix them units...but why bother if you can't get supported? (some of our more qualified members repair their own units because they know electronics and there is nothing special (that I know of) about the components within)
If you are correct about your statement...why don't you post the fixes for us so we can all enjoy the support you claim to have.
Anybody that thinks this guy knows what he is talking about...is welcome to see for yourself at the Official CoolSat home site linked below. >>>
