thanks for reply Tron, I have removed the rotor for now, and will try to get Galaxy 10 satellite..timp

I moved my dish to have clear south view, bought signal finder, found Nimiq 2 ( my closest true south sat.) only could get 45-50 quality read, scanned 22 channels, all bad or scrambled.When I rotored over to AMC 5 and Galaxy 10, I got zero quality, how do I do a Blind Scan, unable to find on my...

Hey guys, are there any ways of testing my lnb to make sure its working, I removed motor, set my dish elevation etc per Iceberg, ohmed out my cables, still cant lock onto satellite, am thinking on raising my dish up in the air via pole or mounting atop my porch roof to make sure it clears my...

thanks for info, I will remove the motor and try straight thru using your settings after the lightening storms pass, thanks iceberg and pete..timp

I still havent locked onto any signal quality, am now trying to locate AMC 5 satellite, which is near my true south location for my zip code(29073, lexington, s.c.), suspect maybe my Pansat 2500 needs new program flash for FTA reception. Does anyone know what program and where to find it would...

Have tried all above ideas on getting some kinda signal , may have something set wrong in antenna set up for my pansat 2500, any ideas on what else I can try? thanks.Am trying to lock on nimiq2 or amc 5 at 82/85 degrees for my true south satellite, my hh-90 is working, but no signal quality is...

Thanks Warhound/Pete, gonna try some other settings, am alittle confused as to where to point dish when trying to hit certain sattellites, I know by compass setting, what my true south is, ( 180 plus 7 degrees for my 29073 zip code) and know that Nimiq 2 is just fraction off this setting, which...

Pete, i'm having trouble similar to this with my pansat2500, was trying to use nimiq 2 for my south satellite(my zip is 29073)-south carolina, with a hh-90 and 90cm dish, getting no signal quality but good signal level, my pansat doesn't list amc9 or its transponders, ideas?timp

I've moved my dish several degrees around Nimiq2 , musta picked up other nearby satellites, as my signal levels change, but still no quality levels to read, can't lock onto anything to see what channels/ satelite it is.I will try to re-hook motor back up, find true south again and give it...

I disconnected the rotor, and ran single cable from l output on lnb directly to receiver, my signal level increased to 80% at Nimiq2 but still zero quality level and no picture/scan. moved towards amc 9, same results.got me buffaloed, I know rotor works, it moves fro m my true south to Nimiq2...

Thanks, what is this tp setting for?I'll try this and see if the mosquitos stay away.. Timp

I have a Pansat 2500a rcvr, with a 90 cm fortec dish and stab hh-90 motor, and a Invacom quad lnb with single cables from c output on lnb to rotor, thru to receiver, my zip is 29073(lexington, s.c.). Am getting almost 80 percent on signal level, but zero quality, have not moved my rotor setting...

I have a pansat 2500a receiver, and have bought a new 90cm dish with invacom lnb and hh90 rotor, hasn't arrived yet(next week), was wondering how to install dish with rotor , says to start by pointing dish true south satellite(where to find) and was wondering what satellites this will pick up...

I have bought a pansat 2500a receiver which has been re-flashed with the pansat usa program for free to air, I also bought a t-55 dish with 3 lnb's, from a friend in Las Vegas. I live in Columbia, South Carolina and need to know what I need to do to get this receiver to work.There is a...
