    Pansat 2500a Help needed!

    well, just moved the dish a couple of millimeters to the right and adjusted the elevation down a bit...then did a smart scan and found G10! The smart scan feature is so helpful. Whew, I thought there was something wrong with my system because I wasn't picking up certain TPs. Now I know I...

    Pansat 2500a Help needed!

    ahhh...now I understand. It sounds like the list of satellites is really to help the receiver! Yes, I will be purchasing a motor very soon. I thought I would buy my system, set it up and see if FTA was for me. After the first DAY, I decided I needed a motor! I will give the dish a "nudge"...

    Pansat 2500a Help needed!

    No harm done, PSB. My apologizes for not being clear! I will try moving the dish a couple degrees to the right (from behind the dish) and see what the does. Part of my confusion is that I assumed the Pansat was able to differentiate between different satellites. Some how I thought the...

    Pansat 2500a Help needed!

    OK, some of the channels it picks up on the smart scan are BET, Bravo, Animl, Sport, Cnnfn, HBO, Fuse....and a lot of music. As well, it picks up multiples of each channel. Now it seems obvious to me...I must be on the wrong sat. Something tells me that I am pointed at 119°W. So, why is the...

    Pansat 2500a Help needed!

    Thanks for the quick reply. OK, first it's not a motorized system. I plan on installing a motor in the near future because I can see the advantages already. So what you are saying is that even though I am getting signal on a preprogrammed satellite, ie G10, I still may be pointed at the...
