New member Username: OwlburtPost Number: 8 Registered: Aug-07 | I have 4 lines coming from 2 different dishes. One line each to each line going into the house. The CoolS*t 6000 box that works fine on one line but when I put it on the other line it shuts off as soon as I turn it on. It's wierd. Dont know why. Any ideas? |

Post Number: 101 Registered: Sep-05 | End of coolshat 4,5&6000????? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but I thought you might want to read this. I found this on another site. Not sure if it is true or not but here it is. C&P from another site. COOLShAT 4000 / 5000 / 6000 Support is soon to be Finished -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is off the OFFICIAL COOLShAT USA WEBSITE .. We will not be honoring warranties for Coolshat 6000 on end-user purchases with receipts dated after October 31st 2007. The Coolshat 6000 is a discontinued model and there is a prevalent problem with clone units on the internet. All authorized dealers should stop selling Coolshat 6000 after October 31st 2007. For more information email sales@coolshatusa .com. This policy also affects our previous models Coolshat 4000 and Coolshat 5000. This is the Reason why you DO NOT SEE BINS coming out for these 3 model coolshats ..  |

Bronze Member Username: OwlburtPost Number: 12 Registered: Aug-07 | FTA Tester. This has had bin 155 since it first came out. It works fine on the other line but it shuts off on this line. I havent loaded a new bin since then. Not Today. Does this mean I need to ground the coax cable? We have been using this line for months now and no problem until yesterday. This line was orginally put in by the cable company. If like a dog chewed on the line (I am not sure if this happened or not) but if a dog chewed on the line would it cause it to short? Thanks again for all your help. |

No need to get fancy, just string it from your dish/switch to your box to see if that solves the problem. Normally a grounding issue wont cause the powering off issue. |
