The Coolsat 5000 Platinum FTA Receiver

When a free to air company provides superior products to a marketplace it is even worthy to mention units that have been around for a while. This is the case with the Coolsat 5000 Platinum. With new High Defenition and more advanced receivers being released by Coolsat it is also notable that we pay respect to one of the most popular fta boxes on the market today. The Coolsat 5000 Platinum is one of those units that really set the standard for all other brands and it still shows. With all of the newer units being released we still think that this digital satellite dish receiver is an excellent choice for dish newbies and those who are looking for a now considered basic system that is a snap to operate. Huge price drops from dealers make this receiver a definate bargain for those just entering the home satellite dish system arena.

A great quality remote control and standard features such as Dolby digital outputs, component and S-video outputs, 8 megabytes of SDRAM, hardware blindscan and firmware upgrade ability via PC prove why this is the number one selling unit in the history of Free To Air Satellite Dish Systems. By using the same external casing as previous models such as the Coolsat 4000 you are guaranteed to have the best possible and proven quality on the receiver market today.

The new Coolsat 6000 Premium has great features an easy to use On Screen Display with vivid colors and an organized layout giving it one of the best guides in the industry. While internally not as fast as some of the newer models on the market, this unit is very quick with basic functions such as channel changing, satellite dish scanning, picture in picture and channel editing.
