Thread: Pansat 9200 w/ S2 8psk Addin Card

Also, did the add-in board come with a litte nut to secure the coax jack to the back wall of the unit?

The add-in board did come with a nut to secure the coax jack to the back. That is the only thing holding it in place but it works. It seems like there should have been a bit more, such as a plastic standoff or something.

The unit is much warmer than any other box I've used with the exception of a globecast receiver. I have not had it lock up. I had it on last saturday all day and never had any problems at all.

My 9200 is warm too and I've had it on for 12-14 hours a day on the weekend and it doesnt lock up

I'm curious if the add-in makes any noticeable increase in heat. My 9200 isn't too bad, but it's certainly not cool to the touch.

my pansat 9200 seems to get pretty hot. I rednecked a fan shroud out of a plastic rectangular bowl and cut the bowl out and installed a pc fan on an a/c adaptor.

Nice and cool now.

i hope that 8psk board will get the equity channels.
If someone finds out let us know - I will buy the board if it works.

Hello

it would be nice to get an add-in board that gets S2 and 4:2:2

good review, thanks for the pictures.

What exactly does piolet mean?
Does it have a PVR? I believe the answer is no.
I like how it nicely maps your OTA channels, the diamond can't do that.
Does the 9200 collect EPG data from your OTA channels?

no. it has a esata thing on the back for future pvr use

you can sort them to your liking. Originally it logs them in order of the digital channels. So as an example, my channels 2,4,5,9,11 analog are 34,32,50,26,35 digital so it would put those in order

nope

I worked with the box all day yesterday. We had some strong straight line winds over the last week so I decided to go out and tweak the dish, as it was off a bit and I had not checked on it in over a year. I made a couple of quick adjustments using my Sathawk 4K and came back inside and did a factory reset on the box. I'm glad I did this as I was off by about .3 degree or so. I tried blind scanning this time using the default all instead of fta and had no problems with the low sr as it did before. The scanning did not take any longer the only negative is that I had to go back and delete the scrambled channels that it logged. I did not know it acted this way or I would have put this in the initial review as not finding the low sr stuff was my main complaint with the box.

Hook that 9200 up to c-band dish and let us know if it will lock any of the 8psk s2 stuff. I emailed pansatusa and they said "it will be posted on the website when released".
