Yes, 8282 should get you to the key entry area. On the Pansats the keys go under the NAGRA 2 section for DISH. Jerry

a simple question to all my friends on this forum, where have all the west coast channels gone, one of the great pleasures of this dish is missing a program and catching it again 3 hours later, what happened?
Here is some of the info I could find on the west coast channels. This Cut and Paste actually shows a good many of the transponder changes. Hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ial-up users: This page is over 1 MB in size. Please be patient. Most recent changes to the Dish Channel List page 12/20/06 * ON PPV (Pay Per View Guide) channels 103 and 500 has returned to transponder 19 at 110°. This is only one channel stream mirrored on two channel numbers. (ANON/Shane) * PPV channel 505 returned to tp 16 at 119° (ANON) * PPV channel 509 returned to tp 17 at 119° (ANON) * EPG name change on channel 7055 from KSCC to KMTW. This station changed its call letters months ago as reported by Raymie. * Price Increases on many basic packages announced today. See changes HERE (info from www.satelliteguys.us) 12/19/06 * The following channel moved to transponder 11 at 119°: 210 CSPAN from tp 17, 212 CSPN2 from tp 8, 222 HSN from tp 16, 226 QVC from tp 16, 228 SHNBC from tp 16, and 299 REELZ from tp 4. (ANON)...just a guess, the LA local channel streams are gone from to 11 at 119° now. * Anyone who "moved" to get distant channels is SOL! Atlanta ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox channels have been removed from ConUS transponder 19 at 110° to tp 20 Spot beam 6. Atlanta Distant networks are available through NPS using the same equipment * Channels 8291 and 8311 telling Atlanta distant nets subscribers that Atlanta was moving to a spot beam were removed from tp 10 at 110° 12/18/06 * After over two dozen e-mails about this, I have to add this note: the channel streams for the four Los Angeles networks are still physically uplinked to transponder 11 at 119°. They are FTA (Free to air) right now according to some, encrypted according to others. These streams have no channel number, are not in any of the Dish system tables or transponder trickle guides, and, therefore, are not available to ANY legitimate Dish Network receiver now. For this reason they are not listed on this chart. For the possibility of seeing these channels an FTA MPEG2 receiver is needed. * The Atlanta standard definition ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox network channels (8300-8303) are expected to move from ConUS transponder 19 at 110° to a spot beam transponder. (Scott G at Satelliteguys.us) NPS (National Programming Service) offers Atlanta network channels on ConUS transponder 15° at 119° to QUALIFYING Dish network subscribers. See the DishNets page. 12/15/06 * Anyone who "moved" to Los Angeles to get networks... SURPRISE! Los Angeles ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox local channels (Channels 242, 244, 246, 248 and mirrored on channels 8000-8003) moved from tp 11 to tp 3 SPOT BEAM 5 at 119°. IOW if you do not live in Southern, CA, you cannot get these channels any more. (ANON/Scott G at Satelliteguys.US). o UPDATE: See 12/18/06 note * iShop channel 229 moved from tp 3 to tp 16 at 110° (ANON) * TEEZ channel 487 moved from tp 16 to tp 3 at 110° (ANON) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry
Jerry - First, here's wishing you and your family a very safe and happy holiday. From all of us out here in cyberland, we really do appreciate your help in keeping our FTA systems going. MERRY CHRISTMAS! I finally got around to downloading the Vortex file and I placed the bin on my SD card, but it wouldn't load. Do I need to do something special once I select it using the SD Memory from the menu or do I need to load it from my PC? I'm currently running a Sept version of Vortex, which is working but requires daily key updates. I'm hoping this new file will allow autoroll to work. Thanks again for everything.
If I remember right, there was a boot file update for the 3500 that required the use of a PC. It couldn't be done from the SD card. What I don't know is if that Vortex file contains the boot update that I read about. Did it look like it had 2 parts to the download?? Merry Christmas to everyone at Afterdawn. Jerry
Jerry...I was wondering if i could get your input on this...I love my pansat 3500 settup but i am really missing HD Channels. Pansat is releasing an HD receiver next yr but the price tag is over $500. I was wondering if you have any experience with replacing the pansat setup with a PC (PCI Card). Is it possible to get the full channel lineup that i get currently with PANSAT and add HD Channels with a PC acting as the recevier...I've been doing a lot of reading (my head is going to explode) but I am very confused with DVB-S vs ATSC Tuner, blah, blah and can't get a handle on this...Thank you for any assist.
Sorry, but I haven't played with any PC tuner cards that claim Hi Def. I know the Pansat model is coming out and Viewsat has their unit out to some people for testing also. As more models come out the prices should drop somewhat. I would wait it out for a while. Jerry
Jerry...I think i found one, Twinhan VisionPlus 102G PCI DVB FTA Satellite TV Tuner. I am going to try it out. The info on the card claims that it handles Digital Channels. # Digital TV & Radio receiving (DVB-S) # Watch digital satellite TV programs on your PCs # Listen to digital stereo radio # Support DiSEqC 1.2 & USALS # High Definition & Crystal Clear Video Quality # Support HDTV receiving # 4:3 & 16:9 selectable aspect ratio # Experience best video quality at high resolution up to 1080i # Internet via Satellite # DVB data service
Can someone please help. I'm new to the game and have learned a lot trying to set my 3500 up but cannot reach the CAS menu as I do not have the option of the second pin in Parental control or by using 8282 on my remote. I've loaded in the bin file from pansat (boot_ltc80__06_1019.bin) is that the proper one. Thanks for your help in advance!
Hi Jerry Last night (Jan 4th) we updated the new keys and our dish worked all night, then it got hit again and I haven't seen any new keys today. What is the latest bin file that I should be using? Thanks CPK
JERRY, can you tell me if the auto roll still works. I have a pansat 3500 and it has not worked for the past 2 days.what can i do? Please help thanks
Latest 3500 bin is B80-306. Link is below. http://www.future-fta.info/Forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8984&d=1167979668 Jerry
