Now that Intelsat 8 has replaced Telstar 4, how do I add it to my Pansat 2500A satellite list? I updated to the latest firmware thinking that would do it but no.
How to add Intelsat 8 to Pansat 2500A?

There is no "new" in my satellite list. I have looked at this about a dozen times thinking I am missing something but I went through the list line by line but no new. Anyone else have this problem?
its at the bottom of the edit satellite/tp list
I have a 1500 and have added SBS6 and IA8
or if you don't use C-Band, just rename/edit one of them

The more recent versions of the software don't have a provision for a "new" satellite. The version that came with mine did, but I updated and lost that.
So you will have to use a satellite you don't intend to program... such as a c-band or one over Brazil, etc.
Rename that satellite, delete all the TPs for that satellite, and add the TPs for I-8.
That's how I did it, I used PAS1R, since it's highly unlikely I would ever want to program in that satellite. If you're using USALS you would also have to change the location to 89W.

Thanks for all of the input and especially to jh98. I thought I was going crazy because I really don't have a "new" on the list. I found a designator that I won't use and reprogrammed it. Now all is well. Thanks again to all who responded.
I just renamed one of the D* satellites that I don't/won't use. Or was it an E* satellite? Whichever!
