How to add a sat to STB menu?

Hello!
I have a Coolsat5000 receiver, and I want to add IA8 at 89° to the list of satellites. It is missing. How do I do that?
I think, for Fortec, which is supported on this forum, procedure is similar.
Thanks.

As a temporary solution, I changed G11 at 91° to 89°, changed pre-programmed LNB type from 4.xxx to Universal 9750;10600 and did a blind scan. I got ABC NEWS NOW, and couple of ABC stations, named "Service1"
One was with a real bad picture, another was showing a soccer game. They both gone the same evening, ABC NEWS NOW still show.

does the receiver list Telestar 4. if it does use this sat. as IA8 replaced it.

Thanks for your reply. No, Telstar4 isn't there either.
I found lots of similar threads, must be a popular question, just one of them:

And on another forum, reviewer of this CS5k also mentions, some sats are missing, but there are blank entries at the end of list. I will read manual again.
Question becomes: "How to rename satellites in STB menu?"

Manual does not say it , but I found myself:
It is possible to rename a satellite from the "Installation" top menu - "Dish Setting". Most of time I'm using "Motorized Setting"

, that's why I missed it.
Just need to pick an empty satellite entry from the end of list, set it's location and LNB type, then rename it to match existing bird - easy.
