I'm trying to get the Vietnamese(VTV) channel for my mom cause her BEC receiver with the 30" or 33" dish wont pick it up for some reason. Is hooking up the Pansat 2500 with the 30-33" dish possible or do I need to use, say for instance the dish 500? Can someone help me out with the setup for international channels on a Pansat 2500? I believe it's Telestar 5 but I can't seem to find Telestar 5 just something similar, T-5/Ku. I also want to know do I need to flash the receiver for international channels? Since we had the BEC receiver we never had to flash it for the telestar 5 broadcast. Any info will be appreciated, thanx

I checked the lyngsat site out and didn't see any info about Telestar 5. I don't have much knowledge about the international channels. After reading LK's posts, things are a little clearer. LK, good looking out bro.

Hey KingFish
On the LyngSat site you didn't see Telestar 5 because it's not there.
Go back to the site and look for Intelsat Americas 5 @ 97.oW.
I have that bird and I receive 150 Tv Channels and 121 Radio Stations.

Also I forgot to mention if you want the channel list for the Intelsat Americas 5 try ftalist.com/ia5.htm.
this list has the Vietnamese VTV-4 and many other international channels.

Hello LK
I tried to scan 97. 33" dish is pointed correctly and I get signal 75% but I can't get one single channel. Do you think because I don't have factory default bins? or flashed receiver? I thought it was my LNB

U must have the factory bin 222 or 224 loaded, aim the dish and scan the satellite!

If U can't find a bin and ask what it is, then U have NOT done any reading....they are posted at EVERY DSS on the internet!....and this is NOT considered a DSS site..and this hobby requires constant reading..

My viewsat is flashed for DN and BEV. What I'm confused about is does it have to do with not getting 97 regular FTA channels. Yes I'm a hobbiest I'm trying to explore as many as Sat out there.

LK, when you say factory bin 222 or 224, do you mean the Pansat factory bin?

The Pansat factory BIN is the 236, so if someone can be a little more clearer about 222 or 224 i'll appriciate it. The other sites don't have much on international or Intelsat Americas 5 info. i only use al7bar and hashhu but for some reason hashhu won't let me post

Justice thank you
I have 2 questions.
Is this why I can't scan 97 channels because my receiver is flashed for DN and BEV? Y/N
I still don't see anything about 97 all programs about DN and nothing about bin 222 or 224

If you have modified your receiver and downloaded sat file without 97w then your receiver will not be able to scan 97W.
If you have viewsat receiver just go to the link I have posted and you will see that file has 97W included in it.When you scan it you should only get fta channels unless you have keys to the provider. But you will get bunch of the channels.
Some of the channels are same as dishnet. I believe there is some Thai fta, Laos fta, and Vietnamese channels as well. Make sure you set your lnb setting to universal.You will not be able to scan 97W with dishpro lnb's
