I work with these types of components every day. The concerns are exaggerated. As soon as you install it, a bird will sit on it after gorging on your bird feeder and guess what! Your finger print is the least of your worries.

Send a me a private message and I will provide the details.

You are partly correct. The file format is DDR2 and is not read directly from windows. There is an application avaiable to scan your HDD for these files and pull them into windows. The file becomes xxx.ts and then can be played on the PC or back loaded onto the HDD. It seems to work quite well...

Intro I know I am not alone expressing my frustration with the Pansat9200 firmware. Glitchy is an understatement. I have read many forums on this topic and it seems Pansat is unwilling to fix or support (others to fix) there firmware problems. One of my biggest complaints is programming of...

All the STB chip manufactures have application notes, test boards and a vast amount of supporting documentation. Obviously their goal is to sell as many devices as possible. These hardware systems are not tremendously complex. Receive-demodulate-digitize-process-display. Many of the...

I am using a tera term and connected to COM1 and watching during the 9200HD boot process.

This screw is likely a tuning screw used to improve the match of the feed horn to the input of the LNA. It could also be used to tune the magnetic/electric field to be orthogonal. At any rate if you adjust it, there is virtually no chance you will be able to put it back in the same position.

I have the exact same setup with the exact same problem. I have tried the Moteck SG2100 and the Stab120. Both motors strain when the dish is pointed far east or west. What confused me was the dish would move (with less strain) on some transponders. I found this was due to the increased voltage...

I assume you have done the obvious, plum mast, set your elevation correctly, positioned your dish correctly relative to your motor. Here is a handy tool, dishpointer.com. I have found a simple sat signal detector to be very helpful when I am on my roof. I am in Ontario and my dish works great...

The pvr works when started manually but the timer and does not start on the programmed sat or channel. I hope is to have control of channel changes and record start through the rs232 port.

Sergei, is correct about the gound loop. Forgot that part, Thanks

I have the same LNB and had port 1 shorted and blew my cheap switch. Good thing the LNB was covered. I replaced the switch with a weather proof model(see my system desc.)

As Pansat seems to be struggling to publish a PVR function which will actually record the correct Sat/Channel, I have begun another approach. Control through the RS232 port. I have made a connection and recorded the boot sequence output. You can find the new thread here...

In the spirit of testing and the frustration of Pansat 9200 PVR/ their struggles to get this functioning, I have completed some probes of the RS232 port. The goal is to not only download new firmware but also gain control of the basic functions, “record ,play change channel etc.”. We’ll see how...

"I want to win!" What if we could set up a sat pvr recording from our iphone?

What you are describing is electro-magnetic susceptibility and electrical-magnetic emissions. Electro-magnetic susceptibility is how “well” a product (or cable) is shielded from outside EM interference. Electrical-magnetic emissions is what is the flux density of the EM emitted from a product...

Here is some more information from Pansat engineers concerning 92000 pvr. 1.Yes we found the problem of different ch shown. Will improve soon. 2."No Signal " or "Scrambled or bad channel" record does not shut off the function. But recommend to format HDD before event timer program start. 3.Yes...

The HDMI and DVI standards are the same. Some DVI devices do not contain audio. Make sure the cable you buy supports DVI audio even if your equipment(today) does not. http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/faq.aspx#31 Good Luck

Clarification to my last post; I was only using the PC on the external HD to check the recorded data. Then I would reconnect the drive to the receiver. Bad news, I believe that the 9200 is using the Trinity HD chipset from Conexant. This would be the CX2417x family of devices. This family is...

If you use the “format” (red button) under the HDD menu, it will possibly erase native eSATA firmare on your external HD and then it will not be recognized by your PC. I would suggest backing up any native files which come on your external HD before plugging into the receiver. I recorded a HD...

I have made some recordings the picture quality is exactly the same as the original Sat. feed. I noticed some audio stutter on the fast forward>X4. The Pansat manual is extremely light in content, so I emailed Pansat and got the scoop on scheduling recording: “So far it is ready for only event...

I made the mods to the board myself. Summary; If you don't have the proper tools (solder Iron small tip and solder braid) don't try this. I work with these small parts for a living so even with experience it's tricky. To make matters worse they are using the new RoHs no-lead solder. This...

Has anyone tried to attach a dish motor to a OTA antenna? I in vision my Stab motor attached to the dish mast (above the dish) and aligned plum. On it attached a pole and my omni OTA HD antenna. If I connected the motor input to a switch and used a diplexer on the antenna feed I should be able...

Your LNB may be producing intermodulation products from the LO and IF which interfere with your lower frequency OTA channels. You may find other combinations of LNB transponder and OTA channels give you problems. If so try a diplexer with better rejection.
