I am new to FTA and to the group. I have just purchased a Coolsat 4000
Pro receiver and have hooked it up to a Dish Network dual LNB dish that
I rescued from a dumpster. It is able to connect to a bunch of
echostars (1,2,6,7,8) and to nimmiq2. It finds zillions of channels,
but will not actually let me watch any of them. I can listen to some
radio, and get the audio portion of a few channels.

I have several questions:
1. What am I not doing that I need to do?
2. Are there better satellite choices?
3. Are there guides to help newbies out with this stuff?
4. what is a card reader, and what can it do?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated
