Analog kept screwing up my Pansat

[Mr Tony]

Finally solved a mystery

I have a Pansat 1500 and an analog slaved to it. I have had some issues where if I would sometimes get a quick "no signal" on the screen and then the picture is back. Never thought about it but this weekend I did.

Noticed it was only when I was on a vertical TP....Was all set to see a football game and I got the "no signal" right away, so I unhooked my analog.

Problem solved...no "no signal" for the rest of the day.

Then I did some testing...I put it on a H TP and it didn't do it. Soon as I used a V TP, it did it.

So the analog is trying to send a signal back through the Pansat as a H polarity, which in turn is goofing up the Pansat. Slapped a DC block and now there is no issue

So if you are slaving an analog through a box, you might want to get a DC block. I've had 2 receivers have issues with slaving a box until I put one of these on

I have a Pansat 1500 and an analog slaved to it.

Okay, forgive me if I sound ignorant here, because I am. I take this as you are slaving the analog receiver through the FTA receiver, right? Just the opposite of what I am doing, slaving the FTA through the analog receiver and this should not be an issue for me?

 

[Mr Tony]

correct Jim

The Pansat controls everything....the analog just listens to the Pansat

Thank you.

Fortunately, my 2700 hasn't done that yet, I hope it's just a glitch with a 2500. Just in case, ICE where do you get a blocker?

4dtv and FTA

If you use any analog receiver to light up the LNBs and Polarotor, then you must have two DC Block HF splitters. Other wise the two receivers will try to send out votages to control the LNB's and Phase LNBF. One for C and One for KU

Simple use the DSEQC switch FTA, DC Blockers and your analog.

C-band LNB = HFDC - power passing = 4DTV or analog
L blocking_____ to DSEQC = FTA

repeat for for KU.

You'll have to scan vertical and horz seperate. with the 4dtv connected or analog. But it will do all transponders at one time in that polarity.

Thanks Wyle, that's how I have mine hooked up. For a few minutes there, I thought I missed something

Radio Shack has them...they're like 3 bucks
