Silver Member Username: As400Post Number: 108 Registered: Nov-05 | wait... abiel, you have the right LNB, about the right dish size ... BUT, PAS9 has only about 12 channels pointed to the US (conus) most are just feeds in Ku band... the rest is all C-band and videoguard encrypted which your Pansat2700A is not capable of decoding. Look this page up: http://www.lyngsat.*com/pas9.html Now, make sure you calculated azymuth and elevation correctly. pas9 is @ 58.oW If you need an online calculator try this one: http://www.satlex.de/en/azel_calc.html IBM |

New member Username: Abiel827Tobyhanna, Pa USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-05 | ok, thanks!. what I really want is to get the TBN Enlace chanel I know it is on Intelsat Americas 5 too, is there a specific setup I need to do on the pansat receiver or just look for the signal and scan for chanels? thank you for any help. |

Silver Member Username: As400Post Number: 110 Registered: Nov-05 | TBN Enlace is available on Intelsat Americas 13 but is also C-band Your best shot is Intelsat Americas 5 at 97.0°W http://www.lyngsat.*com/ia5.html You have an universal LNB so on your Pansat 2700A Go to Installation Make sure Intelsat Americas 5 is selected (thats T-5/Ku on your pansat) LNB type Universal LNB Lo.Freq. 10750 22khz OFF Make sure you have signal quality. get the calculator and use it to figure out where to point your dish. Or, use the chart on this page to calculate via zipcode ( http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/products/installation/azimuth/index.shtml ) exit and press OK if asks you to save. Go to BLIND SCAN let it run and it will also list the channels automatically. You should be OK. Let me know how it goes. IBM |

Silver Member Username: As400Post Number: 112 Registered: Nov-05 | Errata abiel, I gave you a bad page for latitude longitude by zipcode yesterday... that page will only give you azymuth and elevation for DN birds. To make sure you are precised pointing to T-5 use the following pages: latitude & longitude: (http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer) Enter your zip code and write down your coordinants. OR... download this program (requires Java) from: (http://vps.arachnoid.com/satfinder/) satellite direction: (http://www3.telus.net/rampage/skew.htm) There you enter your North Latitude and West Longitude - enter the satellite orbit (in your case 97.0W) and hit calculate. Good luck, IBM |
