    This is a bit funny!

    Yeah, I have always like pansat. However, I scanned in 7 sats with the two receivers at the same time and I missed about 20 feeds on the Pansat that I got on the KBox! The pansat is the 2700, so maybe the newer ones would not miss the tps. Maybe the difference is the...

    This is a bit funny!

    I had the pansat 2700 hooked up along with the kbox pro to see what the signal differencial is on the boxes. I thought maybe the kbox was a high signal, however I am getting a better signal pct with the pansat! I am getting at least a 99 pct quality signal on all sats except 1 from 72 to...

    where are all the backhauls?

    Are all games uplinked to satellite? I would think they would have to be to be sent back to the station? Even if they are encrypted they should show up on the scan. I am a rockets fan and wish I could catch the feeds for them to see what the guys say when the commercials are up. I saw...

    Seattle - Ku/C band Dish Source? Beyond craigslist?

    I know, The best dish around here is a 14-16 footer! The owner said I could have it if I took it down and paid $200. He stated it cost him $5000 back in the day! I asked him why he wanted one so big and not just an ordinary 8-10 footer and he said because he watched shows in other...

    What is the best you have ever been locked into the arc on a motorized fta system?

    Yeah, comparing it to my old 36 inch system it is like night and day! Btw I hooked it up to my pansat 2700 and the 97 quailty I was getting was 94-97 on its meter which I agree with iceberg is the best I have used yet. On my 36 inch dish the best I ever locked was about 85pct of this...

    What is the best you have ever been locked into the arc on a motorized fta system?

    I can proudly say right now I am totally locked as well or better than I have ever been. I am using a 1.2 meter Fortec Star dish with a dg380 motor and a New KBOX Pro pvr receiver. On the KBOX I believe 97 is the highest the quality it will go up to. I am hitting 97 quality on at least...

    Pansat 4500 opinions? Good for newbie?

    I had one and it is a great box, except for what speedy said about the freezing on hd channels. I had one for a week and it ended up being a clone...... That was the best week I have ever had scanning the skies as it had the fastest blind scan I have ever seen, I scanned most sats in 2-3...

    strapping a c band lnb to ku band lnb

    so far I have hit the 99 satellite and got the Leesa network and the 7 network channels on the 3845 tp on the digital side, I barely tuned in tp's 16 and 18 on the analog side, but not bad so far considering it is only a 1.2 meter dish and not even centered as the lnb is strapped to the side...

    Kbox receiver used for real fta

    Hello guys, I am giving a small review for a Kbox prodigy receiver. I got a really good deal on this as I was looking for something I can record the feeds I come across on a drive to load onto my cpu, so I picked a kbox, got it for $100 new! I set it up with my 1.2 meter Fortec Star...

    Just now installing my 48" Fortec dish with dg380 motor

    the Pansat blind scan is the fastest I have ever seen! I had used a coolsat before and It too was fast, about 4 mins, But the sv takes the longest I have ever seen! I was wondering if maybe it is just the software and if there is a update for faster proccesing? Thanks
