PANSAT 150 150M PVR question

[wanghot]

Hi All,

I am newbie to this forum, my old KU band sat receiver went dead the other day. Wanted to shop for a no frill KU band receiver on the internet quickly, found this reasonable priced PANSAT 150 150M PVR model. Just wondering if this model can get signal from Galaxy 3C satellite before I press purchase button. Currently my dish is only beamed at Galaxy 3C satellite.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[Mr Tony]

yes it can pick up G3 KU Band

I have an older model and the Pansat units work really good

Thanks you very for the quick answer!

tell us more:

We don't have a review of that model.
Frankly, I didn't know it even existed.

Why don't you write up your comments when you get it going?
Espececially related to how well the PVR function works.
And price, of course.

Normally we'd like to know how it works with various switches and motors.
But since you aren't going that route, we'll be happy with whatever you post.

Should make for good reading. - :up


A lot of us are using the now-discontinued and well supported Visionsat Iv-200, which works well with various hard drives, and even a few subscription cards to little-known services.

I think the 150 came out about the time the 9200 did, in fact it might basically be a SD version of the 9200. Be careful about what type of file system it uses on the hard drive. People are having problems mounting drives used with the 9200 on a PC.
