It looks like I was having problems http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=104916 because I needed to add/edit the transpondres. I looked in the manual and did not see anything automatic to serach for and update transponders. I got the pansat 2700A channel editer program, have it connected but it won't connect to the unit. There is nothing in the manual about the program at all and the helpfile is about useless. Well anyways, it looks like I am going to have to do this manualy. I saw the information on lyngsat but I don't know what it all means. Uhhh help.
 
On G10r Down Frequency 11719; Symbol Rate 27.687; Polarity Vertical. The level on that is 79 percent and the quality is 90 percent. I thought that was looking damn good. Well I figured out that I needed to ende the transponders manualy so I did but got nothing. I went to the lyngsat website and , for example, TP 5 so I entered the down freq as 11800, the symbol rate as 26657 and the polairy as vertical and got nothing. Then I tried tp 1, I entered 11720 for the down, and 27692 as the symbol and I set the box to vertical and I still got nothing.

I was thinking that beings the other signal was so strong that I ought to be getting SOMETHING out of these or maybe I am entering the numbers wrong.

anyone got any ideas

pansat 2700a
1m channel master
invacom dual quad
 
oh yea, and what does the fraction mean after the symbol rate?

are you aimed at the right satellite?
numbers above are right (11720 V 27692 and 11800 V 26660) but if you're not aimed at the right satellite you wont get anything :)
 
I guess I am aimed right, I get this "On G10r Down Frequency 11719; Symbol Rate 27.687; Polarity Vertical" really good on G10r but nothing else. What is the best way to tell if I am aimed right? Also, I looked at my compas and eleivation and they were the same as the satfinder program gave me.
 
Okay now I found a bird with 35 transponders 334 channels. I have no clue what it is but I moved down and east a few degrees from I guess G13. I don't think its G10R as none of the transponders I entered manualy work at all.

I am about ready to pull my hair out.
 
you're probably on 121...so its a little to the west....a smidge :)

if you are looking at the screen, bring up
11800
V
26660

and slowly...like 1/16" and WAIT a few seconds to see if the quality shows up...if not then move a little bit again.....you're VERY CLOSE!!
 
Fantastic, I am running a scan and it is raing.... This sux doing it inside!
 
I am on G10R and doing pretty good. I have some trees in the way, however I am getting pretty good sig and quality. I guess the 1m dish and the invacom is doing wonders for me. I am now considering getting a motor, however I dunno how the heck I am going to adapt my dish from 2 5/8 down to 1 5/8. I guess I COULD put up another dish and grab the PBS's on AMC3.

for PBS, you need an audio receiver that can accept AC-3:)
Montana PBS is normal audio


Let’s say I hooked the digital audio out on my pansat into a digital audio in on a separate receiver. How would that do?

Dish size and EIRP

C-Band converting to FTA help. No signal
