I have just received four 9200HD's and I need to check them out. I am looking for a list of sats & services that send HD signals. I have "the list" and I also have the Satellite Transponder Guide. Although they list all the sats and services, they do not seperate or denote HD signals and it...

Normal FTA boxes have no problem with long cable runs, it's just video but HD has some problems but I need to learn what they are.

The 9200 will be used to downlink an ad hoc broadcast. The video will go to some LCD screens and the audio to a sound system.

I have a job coming up that will require some Pansat HD receivers. These will be my first HD boxes. I have heard that there are cable length limitations and other "quirks" I need to know to operate it correctle. Is there a site that has a primer on FTA HD or can anyone give me some "heads up"...

I have a couple of 2700's and they have the same problem. They won't budge off the language menu. I can select any language but when that is done and I press OK, it does nothing, just sits there. Any other remote button also will not move it from the language menu. They have the latest b75 but...

Thank you for that info...do you think that will cure the problem or is that a basic "fix" that cures a vaiety if ills.?

OK, and what do I do with that info. Please note that I am on site at an analog downlink and I do not have the FTA receivers in front of me. Thanks

Sorry, I have no idea what API and Boot means.

How do I check the firmware number? and how do I reload the correct version?

Iceberg, I have used these units with "no name" service and they act fine doing what you say "service 1", etc. I have found that some units react faster than others in locking in the service. In this case I have let them run for over 20 minutes but it just keeps scanning. Thanks

To my knowledge, these all work(ed) fine and came out of home environments. I have aquired about 8 units and 3 have this problem. The curious thing is that it's the same problem. Other than that they work fine. I thought there might be a specific Pansat problem that needs to be addressed. These...

I guess I should explain that I am a professional Satellite downlink &uplink guy. I use the FTA receivers for commercial downlinks. It's a different freq and satellite everytime so all I need is a receiver to input the freq and sr. I have not and, to be honest, don't know about downloading any...

I have a number of Pansat receivers, 2700's, and a few have the same problem...it goes like this. I program a frequency and symbol rate and get a very strong signal. When I hit ok to receive the channel, the two windows appear (TV & Radio) and the bar at the bottom starts to "search". The...
