one thing I did notice, my pansat 9200 is locking channels the 3500 will not at lower levels. Also it loses channels and satellites scanned in if I power it down and back up.
should I be backing up my data some way?

Truckracer, please do factory reset and when receiver comes up, in the step 2 of 2 of the initial setup select BLUE button to save your settings. This creates local user database. Then exit. This will keep all your settings and channels from then on.
It looks like the settings were not saved in the initial setup.

What external drive is suitable for recording? Is there any specific models you guys are having good results with?
Doesn't seem to be picky. I have connected 8 external powered drives between 200gb and 2tb, formatted both FAT and NTFS. All worked fine.
Stay away from USB thumb drives as they usually have limited buffers and choke on high sustained throughput.
I have the opposite experience with tuner sensitivity. The only production device that I have that locks lower SNR is the TBS 6983 PCIe card.

I just noticed on my particular setup, 10' Sami with Norsat 8515 on a corotor that the panda was locking some weaker tp's on 117w where the HDVR did not even with the manual scan feature inputting the frequency and S/R rates.
But on the other hand I am seeing signals my panda never received on other sats....strange. I do like this receiver. It runs cooler than the pansat which has always been a problem over heating.

Is it possible to backup transponder and channel data from one Hdvr3500 and transfer it via thumb drive to another hdvr3500?
Yes, user data can be backed-up and loaded. Will give you the menu path tomorrow. It's sitting on the bench test recording tonight.
To Save Service Data to Back-up USB:
Menu >>> Manager >>> Data Transfer >>> Transfer Service Data to USB Storage >>> Select drive >>> Press OK
To Load Service Data from Back-up USB:
Menu >>> Manager >>> Data Transfer >>> Data Download from USB Storage >>> Select drive >>> Press OK
The Save and Load processes took about 20 seconds each.
One thing I noticed scanning the arc. TBN on G14 c band will not scan in. Everything else does.
The Pansat scans it in with 80+ % quality.

Scans in fine here and noticed they added a new TBN channel in the mix that I hadn't seen before.
To get a fresh scan, I delete preprogrammed TPs before the blind scan. Maybe delete the transponders and rescan?
