Jerry where are the BEV channels? i.e SciFi is 122, Spike 168, pay per view movies is 500-549 etc....
BEV channels are off a completely different sat. DN sats are at 110 and 119 degrees. Bev sats are at 82 and 91 degrees. Jerry
Jerry, I am getting most of the channels from dish 121 after making some changes going through other forums. Do you know which birds to scan to get ESPN because I still dont get that.
ESPN, ESPN 2, and ESPN Classics are all on the 119 sat. Check this link to see everything on that sat. http://www.lyngsat.com/ On the left side it shows Dish 110 and Dish 119. Clicking either one will show everything on each sat. Jerry
Jerry, I know they are on 119 but when I do a blind scan or satellite scan they dont show up in the channel list. Is there some setting changes that I need to make. Based on previous emails from you and other forums. I have changed the LNB TO Dp from Standard in the Pansat reciever for 119 and performed a scan again but nothing is hapenning yet.
Try just a TP scan. Scan TP 4 at freqency 12268. I always get ESPN just off the regular sat scan. Make sure the DP switch settings for your dish are correct for each sat. Those DishPro LNBs can be pain sometimes. Jerry
I actually never tried a DP setup so this info is just what I found on another forum. This is how they set it up. I can't test it to see if its correct. 110 LNB TYPE: OCS-DP LNB POWER: ON LNB FREQ.: 11.250 22khz: OFF DiSEqC: 2.0 COMMITED: 2 LEGACY SW: OFF 119 LNB TYPE: OCS-DP LNB POWER: ON LNB FREQ.: 11.250 22khz: OFF DiSEqC: 2.0 COMMITED: 1 LEGACY SW: OFF
Jerry, I will try those settings but since this is the order of my sats 110.121.119 should I do commited 1 & 3 for 110 & 119 respectively and leave the settings alone in 121. I dont know what OC-DP means but I have DP and already changed to that setting for 119 but not 110. Do I have to change for 110 also. Regarding scanning 12268 in TP 4, I might already have someother TP in that number, so I will add it to the end and give it a shot. What is this DisEqc ?
DisEqc switch settings refers to the switch the combines 2 or more sats into 1 cable to your receiver. Kind of like a splitter in reverse but more complicated. The DP LNB has this built into the internal workings, not a seperate box like what comes with most receivers. You still have to set a port location in the setup for each sat or it won't work right. Thats what those settings are telling you. Like I said I can't check any of that information since I don't have that setup. Its trial and error until you get it to work. Jerry
hey jerry why does 1 side of my switch go down loses the signal when i put the othe dish in is it wrecked or can it be fixed
Crowbar91, switches can go bad so its a possibility. NEVER disconnect a sat cable with the receiver power ON from any part of the system. The cable carries the channel switching voltage and may blow something out like the diseqc switch or LNB. Always power down and unplug the receiver before a disconnect. Jerry
HDTV receiver Hi Jerry, I am looking at buying a 42" LCD LG or Sony TV. What free to air receiver do you recommend that is HDTV.
@CPK2006, To my knowledge, the HD receivers have not been released yet. There was talk of a Pansat model before the last shut down in JUNE that Blacklist was testing. That was the last I heard of it because of the big problems we had for 3 months. I'm not sure if they still plan on a release or not. Many people are afraid that FTA will be shut down for good and don't want to put out the extra money for a HD receiver. Pansat just released a new 2800 receiver but its not HD. Jerry
New bin file released to fix auto roll of keys on all Pansats. This link for the 3500 receiver. Turn auto roll back on if you install this file. Use the new loader with the file. http://www.future-fta.info/Forums/showthread.php?t=36618 Jerry
Jerry, I have a pansat 3500S , I loaded bin 122, then factory reset, then bin 365, problem, I get everything but with no sound, I am using DP lnb, any thoughts. Thanks
I did a quick search on several forums for your problem with no results. Check your antenna setup and make sure the DP LNB setting is selected. If its wrong that could be the problem. There is also a new bin 367 now out for a better auto roll. Maybe that bin will correct your audio problem. Make sure your audio settings are correct in the setup also and not muted by mistake. Jerry
Will double check every thing out again, and load the new bin, if not I will send it to pansat for repairs, if I refash with factory bin can they tell what it had on it before, (ie d**h / B*v bin) Thanks
