I use the BSC621 LNBF and it pegs the meter on some of the DVD-S2 8psk 30000 m/s signals. I do get some mild jerkiness on one of the channels sometimes but not the rest. I believe the receiver is underpowered instead of it being an LNBF problem.

I have used an Pansat 9000 on that nbc channel and it had a hard time keeping up. The picture was jerking a lot.

How good does your video card handle DVB-S2 9/10 30000 m/s feeds? Is the 8750 a superior card to the ati 4350 which I have my eye on. I know the ati 4350 should be able to handle blue ray just fine, but some of the DVB-S2 feed have a lot more (bits)information to process.

I was thinking of getting a DVB card and a good video card. So I could get the 4:2:2 feeds on 97w which the pansat can't get. It seems like they can be a real pain from what I have been reading. If I knew if an DVB card would outpefrom an AZBOX or Pansat HD I think it would be worth it.:tux:

Still getting jerkiness even with SQ at 98 which is the highest I have seen the Pansat 9000 hd meter go on any sat I have tried. The jerkniess is mild and I can live with it. But still wish I could figure out the problem and solve it. :confused:

Shewed the lnbf about 5 degrees counterclock wise and boom!!! SQ of 93 to 98 on the DVB-S2 8psk 30000 ms feed :). This is on 99w. I haven't had a chance to see if the this helps with the jerkiness or not. I will report later.

I am sure my problem with the jerkiness or at least the picture cutting out for a second or two is not due to the Pansat 9000. I beleive it has to do with either my LNBF BSC C/KU or my cable. I have notice the last few days if the picture on High bit S2 8pskHd channel starts to act up all I need...

Actually, I opened the cover yesterday and tried the fan idea. But it didn't make a difference. I noticed that the turner and cpu heat sink can get very hot. :eek: With the fan hiitting them they cool off good. But still had the same problem. My latest theory is that the reciever needs to warm...

Spoke to soon. The picture is messing up again.

:) Good news. I was having problems with 99w again most of yesterday and evening. The picture was getting blocky( not like when the signal is to low) strudding and jerky. What I did was turn the channel to a SD channel and t powered down the reciever. Powered the reciever back up. Turn the...

The feeds I have trouble with are the feeds on 99w C band 9/10 fec and 103w ku band 5/6 fec. I haven't had a chance to try the ones on g19 yet. I am sure those would pose the same problem.

Thanks 1caption. that was very informative. The old 35k lnb I have says US Gold on it. I never heard of that brand. And it has four temp(K) levels on it. 35k, 30k, 25k, 20k. :confused:

1caption, What kind of lnb do you use? I am using an BSC C/ku lnbf. I have chaparral feed that I don't use with 35k noise lnb. Would using that help? The reason I don't use it is that I have to manually change the polar rotor on it. I am not sure what an ortho feed looks like. I don't think I...

What you describe with your pansat is the same problem I have. I was wondering if a DVB-S2 computer card with a beefy video card would perform better than an STB HD reciever?

Do you think these PansatHD boxs could be upgraded to a faster cpu or more powerful video processor?
