Coolsat 6100 - Not finding all Sats - ABA DSS

cvs0115 · April 8th, 2009

I've following the guide in the Coolsat 6100 section, download, autofind. However did not find all my LNB's I have a dish 1000 plus with a 44 switch and I'm only seeing the 110 and 119... I'm not getting any of the asian channels.

How can I get 118 and 129 as well.

Thanks for the help in advance.

First off is your system set up for the 118 because that is a special LNB and did you have that before with your subscription?
If so then you can try to set it up manually by setting the LNB type to Single and then the LNB freq. to 10750 and delete the 119 satellite because the 118 will also get all the 119 stations. Please write down the rest of the settings that the 119 has before deleting that satellite as far as Disqec port settings and Legacy SW settings to match them to 118.
Once you get 118 then we will help you get 129, that is a HD satellite and you need to have an HD Coolsat receiver to get this satellite.

I was able to pick these up from my subscription 110, 118, 119, and 129. So my sat should have no issues with the LNB... I'll try it out tonight.

what good is it if it keeps freezing up? or is that just my box?

I was not able to look throught all the channels but the ones I did see were just fine. However if I come across some freezing issues I'll let you know super star.

nag 3 on all international channels. check out lyngsat 97w and 113w. Those are true FTA satellites.

Got it working carpenter1 I did as you followed except for the lnb type to single. I got now have 110 118 119... Did not go for 129 yet since it's point less without the HD reciever.

Yes super star the freezing is going on and it is not your box. I quess we need to wait on the new bins.

I wouldn't get your hopes up any new bins coming from coolsat coders. From what I hear, coolsat is on its last leg and it has already been two weeks since we have heard anything. Let's hope im wrong. =(

I want to get another box, but knowing that Dday is near would it even be worth it?

**cisco123** · April 9th, 2009
