really appreciate some answers to Pansat questions...

Hey gang,

Am a newbie but a future enthusiast. Really getting into this. Set up a system recently with standard 76cm dishes and a Pansat 5000 Rcvr (similar to a 2500 with DVR capability). Have a few very basic questions:

1. RCVR: is there a way to erase all memorized channels? every time i scan for new channels, i get all the old ones in duplicate. cant find a way to erase all channels or even blocks of channels (only single channels manually). any easy remedies?

2. In search of T5: I have been able to find several birds but the one that i am really trying to find Intelsat Americas 5 (previously known as T5) continues to elude me. i have scanned the azimuth and elevations +/- 30 degrees in each direction and cant seem to find it. I also noticed that the Pansat 5000 has that satellite listed under its old name (T5). So i went into the transponder list and found that many tps dont match the lyngsat specs. so i added a few tps with the lyngsat specs to see if that was the issue but still cant find it. spent over 6 hrs yesterday searching for it .... help!

thanks much :confused:

I just tried that on my 2700. Using the volume controls allows you to select/ highlight multiple channels, but no options for delete by satellite or delete all :-(

Iceberg, did it work? I am thinking of getting a 3500.

drhyrdo, are you using the "channel edit" mode? On the 2500 we get several options, one of which is "delete" and then you push the volume buttons to select the type of delete function you want (satellite, all or single channel). The tp delete function is a little trickier from the "installation" menu. You actually have to get to the list of the transponders for a satellite before you can start deleting (choose 'edit' then the tp list will come up, highlite a tp and then get a choice of edit or delete the tp). At least this is on the 2500.

Iceberg,

The Pansat 5000HC must have a different menu because the volume keys are left/right and channel keys are up/down. When in Channel edit mode, the left/right keys switch between a variety of pull down menu options (channel rename, channel delete, channel sort, favorite add, etc). The left/right (volume keys) on the 5000 do not allow for multiple selections. Nonetheless, I have tons of questions so let me try to fry the bigger fish first...back to T5 which is driving me absolutely crazy...

Q1. Is there anyway to positively ID a specific satellite? If I use a satellite signal meter, will any ID the satellite by name as opposed to just give me a signal reading? That may help me alot. There are lots of satellites in that general vicinity (am in Northern California around San Jose with a zip of 95148). All the tables tell me to look in the following direction:
Az(t):142.7 Az(m): 127.4 Elev:39.5 and Skew:-28.8. I need a surefire way of IDing that bird.

Q2: If I plan to hook up to another satellite and use a Diseqc (say I already have Sat 1 on Port 1 and keep Port 2 for T-5), I assume that I have to first unplug the Diseqc from the receiver cable, plug the receiver cable directly to the LNB on the satellite aimed for T-5 first, find it, and then go back onto the Diseqc. Is this true? If so, do I have to rescan for channels on Sat 1? or can i just plug the T-5 Sat LNB into the Diseqc Port 2, set up my receiver to look for T-5 on Diseqc switch 2 and check for signal?

Q3: I notice the TPs pre-programmed into my Pansat 5000 (though it is a recently released model) are different than those posted on the Lyngemark Frequency Table. Can someone with a Pansat confirm if this is true. If it is, do I first have to reprogram all the TPs? Can I just add or edit one TP and set receiver on it while searching for T-5?

Really would appreciate some insight ... am looking forward to diving deeper...

thx

number are right...make sure you are on a strong transponder
12177 V 23000 is a strong one

I would hook the cable directkly to the unit to fine tune. Once your done, then add the switch. make sure to power the unit off (switch off in back) when adding and removing switches so you dont burn it out.

I would edit one of the transponders or just add one. Once you get a signal, then you can do a blind scan :)

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
