Coolsat 7000 set-up problems

[lagvg123]

Hello,
I've followed the set-up guides I've seen to pretty much the letter and I cant to seem to pick up anything. It says that level percentages are about 85 - 90% but 0% for quality. Im using a DTV setup with three LNB's, Im using firmware 1.24 on my CS7000. Any help reguarding what equipment or settings I may need would be greatly appreciated.

First you need to upload "OLD Factory Bin Files V1003" which you can get here (thanks GH) http://www.ftaconcept.com/showthread.php?t=2883 then save it to your USB disk and then get the newest Bin File which you can get here http://www.ftaconcept.com/showthread.php?t=3080. Once you have both bin files saved to your usb stick turn on your box and plug in your usb stick. In a couple of seconds you will see or should see both files on your tv screen that you saved, 1 is the OLD bin files and the other should be the Newest Bin file. Select the Old bin file first and press the red button on your remote. It should take less then 10 seconds to download to your receiver. Once that has been complete go to options and do a "Factory Reset" if it asks for a password it should be "0000", Then it might say "Are you sure you want to do a reset" Select YES. Then turn your receiver box from the back using the switch. Wait a couple of seconds and turn it back on. Then follow same procedure for the "Newest Bin file V119". Once you have uploaded the newest bin file remember to do another "Factory Reset" and turn your box OFF using the switch from the back. Wait a couple of seconds and turn it back on, then

On your remote click on "Menu" and go to "Options"
Use default CH name should be "Full Name"
Everything should be ON EXCEPT "AUTO CH/TP UPDATE" that would be the only one to be OFF
Renumbering local CH to your area.
Then exit and it should say if you want to save your settings so say YES!
Now back to "Menu" and go to "Dish Settings"
For Satellite 119
Frequency 12239MHz
LNB Power ON
LNB Type OCS-DP
LNB Frequency 11250
LNB 22KHz off
DISEqC SW 1/off/off
Legacy SW off
Now save settings and go to:

For Satellite 110
Frequency 12224MHz
LNB Power ON
LNB Type OCS-DP
LNB Frequency 11250
LNB 22KHz off
DISEqC SW 2/off/off
Legacy SW off
Now save settings and go to:

Please note:

For Satellite 121( If you have this do these settings if not skip this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Frequency 12224MHz (you can twik this until you get good signal)
LNB Power ON
LNB Type OCS-DP
LNB Frequency 11250
LNB 22KHz off
DISEqC SW 3/off/off
Legacy SW off

Now save settings and finally go back to "Menu" and go to "Channel Search"
And drop down to "Network Search" and make sure, MAKE SURE, make sure to change it to OFF for all 2 Satellites 110, 119, (If you have 3 Satellites then make sure to have it off for 121 as well). Now press the "Red Button" on your remote and it will do an Auto Detect for all your LMB's and once that is complete it should say "110, 119," (121 if you it) has been found and 1 Satellite (if you have 2 Satellites then it should say 2 Satellites found) then click ok and it should Automatically start to search for channels. Once that has been complete go back to "Menu" and do a "Factory Reset". Turn OFF your box from the BACK (not from your remote) wait a couple seconds then turn it back ON. Go to a channel and if it says Channel Scrammbled it's ok just wait until you see your channel. (note it might take 2-15 minutes so be patient)
Good Luck,
Let us know how it went.

Get RID of the Phase 3 DTV dish and setup the Dish 500 w/ the DP LNB if you use the previous suggestion fron raj. That will get what you need. You can use the DTV single setup but not the 3 LNB one. Plus I don't think you are setup correctly or you could get something more than you say that you are getting.Good Luck!

Thanks for the help, but I've seen this guide and I just now followed it again exactly as written down with the same results, when I do a channel search, all I can get it to say is "Satellite not founded" I have an old Dish 500 laying around somewhere, I'll get to that as soon as I can. Now let me get this straight, what your saying is that if I just have one LNB to my DTV setup it may work? Thanks again...

[Satbum.]

Yes the DTV with the single LNB will work. The Phase 3 that you described has an internal switch designed for DTV's higher frequencies and that is why you would have trouble with that type of setup. It can be modified but is not recommended for person new to this hobby. Even then it would still work sporadically at best.

I did all this instructions and works, but I'm missing a lot of channels specially my local channels. I have a also a CW600s which get all this channels plus my locals. Did I miss anything?? or I need to do something else??

Try to use Auto-detect feature. Do factory reset, select your local time, select your state and your city, hit OK on auto-detect message pop up. it will detect all sat and scan everything for you.
