Well, it seems that i overloaded my pansat 2700's memory with too many tp's, the same as the fortec ultra will do.
After blind scanning every sat i can see (both c and ku band) I started seeing some strange things appearing in my antennae setup screen. Wierd stuff started to appear on previously set up satellites, like diseqc position would be changed from # 4 and set at #78, lnb type would be changed from standard to single stacked, positioner settings going awry, etc.
Then last night every time i went into the antennae setup screen and highlighted amc4 the pansat would reboot :-( So i went thru and applied the same fix that is used for the fortec, I deleted a BUNCH of transponders off of my transponder list and now it all appears to work fine :-D
Hae anyone else ran into this problem with a pansat 2700?

Never had that issue with my 2700, even with all the $ E* cr*p that gets scanned in everytime I scan 110 or 119 or even a close linear bird. Strange...
It does seem from Iceberg's 3500 review that many of the 'classic' Pansat problems have been fixed on that receiver though... I do see one in my not-so-distant future

Well i spoke too soon as far as the fix goes, and probably what the ultimate problem was as well. 30 minutes after i posted the above I was no longer able to get into the antennae setup screen. Every time i tried the Pansat would reboot. grrrrrrrrrr time to do a factory reset :-(
In replaying recent events in my mind, i remember that about 2 weeks ago the pansat was inadvertantly shut off while saving data from a blind scan (power loss due to windstorm). I think that corrupted something in the channel/ satellite lists which caused my problem, and it just took a while for me to notice it.
On the plus side a factory default fixed the problem, on the minus side i now have to re scan everything (30 sats, some both c band and ku band). Guess i know what i will be doing all day :-(
The one bright part of this is i am still using my analog reciever to move my BUD as i havent been able to hook up the vbox yet. So at least i didnt lose all my sat positions
.
So i guess i learned a valuble lesson, after today i will be using a channel editor to back up my channel lists.
BTW Iceberg, i am not sure how many tp's i had stored in the pansat total, several sats had 40+ tps for c band, and 40+ for ku band (due to multiple blind scans of the same sat). I know i deleted at least 300 tp's yesterday, with a LOT left in the pansat when it finally choked.

The positions are stored in the V Box and not in the Receiver, in the receiver only are stored the Nr. of the Satellite.
It,s easy to back up on the PC

Picked up a sweet directv dish, mount, twin lnbs and a short cable.
Has anyone converted one to FTA? A Frankenstein of sorts...

Many of us have used a universal LNBF mount (or get creative with L brackets and plumbers tape - perforated metal strapping). Use a few inches of aluminum tube (or a piece of 1x2" lumber) to extend the support arm (replacing the plastic mount used by DirecTV and Dish) to place the LNBF throat opening at the correct distance from the reflector, the correct height and at the correct angle. Nothing magical... simply place the new linear LNBF in the center at the same distance, height and angle as the current combo.

To add: 101W Ku seems to be (one of if not the) strongest for me, and if I only had Ku I definitely want 101W for the music mux, it's robust FEC and strong signal help a lot. I've thought about using a used Dish/DirectTV dish at my Dads to supplement his OTA (mainly for my benefit when I visit )

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....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

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.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
