Ice, got some interesting results. Not sure if you will see this reply so will try to msg you directly. Thanks for the suggestion. It worked!

great. Will do it tonight and post results. Just to make sure I got you straight, youre saying I have to delete all but one TP (that i am getting qual on) to do the blind (smart) scan? I assume I will have to give a range of frequencies and possibly an increment for it to step through...

Thanks Ice, I feel better now that I know it is normal for a TP downlink freq to be off by a few MHz on LNBs. This may be the best explanation of why I am not getting the other 3 TPs. Rather than trial and error changing the freqs, would like to try the blind scan as if I understand you...

Ice, Really would appreciate your help on this as I am perplexed. Please take a few moments and read the init post on this thread and help me with the following: As you may remember, I have been searching for T-5 for weeks and asking advice on this forum. The reason I had such a hard...

Thanks Trace, Gotta tell you it took me weeks to get T-5/IA5 and it is extremely sensitive to position. Just in the elasticity of the metal components on the dish, I can easily go from 70% qual to 0% in a nudge without loosening the bolts. After having tuned the hell out of the signal, I am...

Hey gang, Havent posted for a week or so as was out of town. Would appreciate some help. I have a fixed 76cm dish pointing at T-5 with a Universal 2 LNB and an Pansat 5000 HC. I can get most of the TPs listed on Lyngsat at 50%-75% but there are 2-3 (and as luck would have it, the 2-3 that...

Hey all thanks for the comments: Pete, unfortunately, powering off/on whether soft or hard reset hasnt worked. Dejanet, I havent weatherproofed Diseqc switch though that is a good idea. just installed 1-2 wks ago. it is brand new. It does get exposed to plenty of sun on the rooftop...

Hey all, I have 3 dishes/single LNBs connected to a Coolsat diseqc (1.0 standard) switch that is going to my Pansat 5000 HC (1.3 standard). Every so often (approx once every two days), I get no LNB signal from anything. By trial and error, I found out that if I turn the diseqcs off on two...

Ice, my apologies but the last posting I had was in the FTA area and was moved. I actually put a fair amt of diligence into reading through each forum category to find the best one. Under FTA, there is an Equipment section, a PC section, and a "What's Up There" Section. Since none of those...

My Pansat 5000HC user interface is clumsy and doesnt allow for multiple channels to be selected and moved/renamed/deleted, etc. Has anyone here used gtools or Channel Master or some other software package with a Pansat and could guide me to some instructions? I received gtools with the...

no prob ice, but where to? want to see if anyone may have tried with T5 for example. thx

As a result of some discussions I have had with others on finding T-5, has anyone compard their signal with true FTA satellites between a 0.5/0.6db LNB vs a 0.3? What percent increase in signal quality have people experienced? thx

LNB: So Iceberg, I take it you think its prob low noise or anything better? Dish: Wholeshoe, Dish brand new out of box, looks good (better than my other dishes)... I am determined to peg T-5.

Hey all, thanks for all the responses. Just to clarify about my hardware: Dish: 76cm Receiver: Pansat 5000HC LNB: Coolsat Universal 2 Cable: Dont know if RU6 but looks high qual and only runs about 25' Diseqc: Pansat 4x1 Location: Open skies with no obstruction...

Hey all, I have been having a bear of a time searching for T-5. After a week of climbing on my roof every night and trying and trying, I finally found it. It was so hard because it is extremely sensitive to the slightest variation in az, elev, and skew. there was such a tight window...

Iceberg, The Pansat 5000HC must have a different menu because the volume keys are left/right and channel keys are up/down. When in Channel edit mode, the left/right keys switch between a variety of pull down menu options (channel rename, channel delete, channel sort, favorite add, etc). The...

Hey gang, Am a newbie but a future enthusiast. Really getting into this. Set up a system recently with standard 76cm dishes and a Pansat 5000 Rcvr (similar to a 2500 with DVR capability). Have a few very basic questions: 1. RCVR: is there a way to erase all memorized channels? every...
