    Bye Pansat

    Pansat 250sm I contacted Panarex concerning the 250sm also concerning the firmware. I felt it was lacking a lot as far as FTA was concerned. At the time I contacted them, they did respond and they did look into the problem I was having. Panarex suggested I re-install the factory firmware using...

    Horizontal Weaker than Vertical - Me or the bird?

    DMX 741 I have a DMX 741 and really I am not sure about this but I could see a Wasp nest or an Ants nest getting to the probe and causing troubles. Again, I am not really sure about this; but I was thinking the DMX 741 only had one probe inside?? I am not sure about that.. But What I was...

    Horizontal Weaker than Vertical - Me or the bird?

    Hi hi A Good Tech will consider all, even things that may not seem to fit the problem. A simple solution will often times be over looked because we don't consider the over all effect or affect on the system. Pointing out Checking a Coax, checking for a bad connector or bad switch. Looking for a...

    no sat tv for me for awhile

    Hehe LOL, I am right with you on the Sami! I have a 10 foot Sami and I have a 12 foot Paraclipse. The Sami kicks the mesh off of the Para for Signal Q!! The Sami is better made and designed. It also takes wind better! That said, I would put my Sami against any brand for my location as...

    Horizontal Weaker than Vertical - Me or the bird?

    ARRL My comments are from personal experiences and come from the ARRL handbook. While I am not up on Satellite to Ground theroy and should have made that clear and I apologize for my mistake. In my experiences Polarity does cause certain receivers problems if not correctly tuned. Example a...

    Horizontal Weaker than Vertical - Me or the bird?

    Horizontal Horizontal should in theroy be a signal that would travel further than a vertical signal. That said, I am not sure why you are seeing a weaker signal, it could be how your receiver processes the signal or how your antenna is located. It could be how well your antenna is tuned. Coax...

    Dish indentification

    HD Countryman, an HD receiver will give you more choices of TV. Several feeds are in HD that your Pansat 2500 just can't get. If you like sports a lot of the sports feeds are in HD. The better the receiver the more channels you can gain or at least this is my experience. You need a good Blind...

    Dish indentification

    Pansat 2500 Fl, you can use that Pansat 2500 I think to control your polarity if memory serves me by the pic that blue box on your lnb is the servo, that controls the polarity. So all you need is a dish mover and you are in business. As for the FTA part you should have no troubles using that...

    Galaxy 17 91 W

    umm All three of my Pansats, 2500, 2700 and this new 250SM are pretty much the same in frequency or appear to scan about the same and are off about the same. Huge difference in the Symbol Rate though on the 250SM... I am starting to really lean towards the Lnb because the only receiver I have...

    Galaxy 17 91 W

    The Frequency The V or H frequencies are only off by 2 or 3 but the symbol rates are off by right much. I noticed my 2700 is much the same and my Neusat is pretty much dead on. I don't have a way to post any screen shots and I know that would be helpful but I don't have a way. I thought...

    Galaxy 17 91 W

    i tired Well, I tried it and it didn't work..man this has to be something simple. I did notice the channels it scans in on it's own are off some compaired to The List in frequency. But still it should see the channels I would think.. The thing I don't understand is I can manually enter in...

    Galaxy 17 91 W

    I have the same troubles.. I have almost same problems with the CW, I know how to enter the "pids" manually on the Pansat 250SM but no matter what I do I can't get it to see the CW stations...CM does not support the 250 but it really bugs me I can't get it to see the CW's... I think I will...

    Sami 10-foot aiming troubles

    Several years ago Several years ago a friend gave me a 12 foot Paraeclipse Mesh dish. Everything as far as the skew was basically set up. All I had to do was move the from one location to another. I had a hand held meter, a TV and a receiver and at that time many analog channels was being...

    Don't put AZbox premuim Plus on top your 4dtv!

    Actually you would IMHO you would be better off not to put anything on either receiver. Almost every receiver I own plainly says in the instruction manuals not to place anything on the receiver or place the receiver inside something it can't vent or where air flow is restricted. Just for a...

    Using a WSI DMX242 with 22KHz problem

    Not the same thing I know I know this isn't even close to the problems you have McGuyver but with my experience with the DMX 741 I had troubles using the 22 hz tone with the ku band. I also had troubles using several diseqc swithes. I just used the 2nd coax on my feed line to connect to the KU...

    slave fta to 4dtv 922

    it shouldn't matter The 4d should slave without issues. I will leave it for the experts here but I see no reasons why it wouldn't slave with an Nfusion. Just make sure you connect it correctly and use DC blocks if necessary. Several good diagrams can be found when researching on how to...
