Coolsat 6100/7000/7100 Hidden Feature!
I know the CS6100 is a low-end STB. And i was never satisfied with the EPG that came with it (Because you either have to organize channels in groups or you have to scroll through 700 channels trying to find something to watch)
But on accident one day, i found a transparent epg that allows you to still see what your watching, while toggling through categorized (automatic) EPG. I read many posts and user manuals and there are no directions on how to do this so I will tell everyone.
*** CORRECTION ***
Before I said you need to activate this feature to is it, this is false.
Instruction: Hit the SAT button once, you will see the menu, hit SAT again, it will disappear and a tranparent EPG will appear. This EPG will populate even if you dont have the guide downloaded (which is a GREAT feature). It populates directly from ECHOSTAR.
