I have a Pansat 2500A. All of a sudden I have lost signal with all the storms that we have been having. Thought that maybe the dish needed to be realigned. Have used the satfinder and it says were are getting a signal but the receiver will not pick it up. I have a level of 93% but a quality of 0. What could be wrong? THanks
Try puting the coax cable directly into the reciever,and check for quality on different tp's/channels.Check your cable connections also.If you have good quality and it disappears after you reconnect your switch, check/replace your switch/settings .
I am watching the level under the antenna setup. My husband has been on the roof for 2 days trying to get a signal. The level will set at 93% but we can not get a quality, which is the signal strenth, right. The signal finder box that we hook up to the dish is locking the box, but the receiver will not show that it is picking up the signal! Quality stays at 0 %
What sat are you aiming for,so we can tell u a live tp to set your reciever to so u now when u hit the sat.run the coax directly to reciever before hand,and ckeck the connections for bad crimps, water,or coroustion.After you have done that,and have on a live tp,and can't find a signal,with such high signal no quality,i'm leaning toward a bad lnb.
becky dont listen to these guys go reflash your receiver with the latest bin 293 make sure the autoroll option is on . and you will se it will works ok .
actually Cartier is right You need a new BIN PGM or put new keys
If that doesn't work Run coax straight bypassing DISEqC switch like Scanner says
If u got DTV phase III switch is internal can't do anything about it and usually it won't go bad I bet You you got an old bin, reflash. you may have to put dish where it was if you moved it. New keys is a must double check before you touch any hardware
Hey Becky From your location, make sure Azimuth and Elevation is set correctly for EchoStar 8/10 @ 110.oW.Mast is level vertical in all directions. Make sure that you antenna cable is connected correctly & TV is set on NTSC Also try this. A) Factory Setting. B) Time Setting. C) Enter you Latitude and Longitude. D) Now do a blind Scan. E) Turn of your Autoroll and TP Autoupdate. F) Enter updated Keys.
BTW I don't think your Mast is level,the storm knock it out of Alignment.
Got it back working. Not really sure what the problem was. Switched everything again. And finally that night it came back. Bad bad storm had knocked it so far off that it just took a while to get it back. Thanks for all the help everyone!
Why do you have to be such a butt. People come here for help and you have this better than thou attitude. Nothing you gave me helped. It was all other guys that gave me info that was useful. All you gave was hateful comments. Don't worry I won't ask anything else from you.
Becky BIG Mouth.. I told you 3 times to realign the dish, which was your problem and solution, along with your smart azz mouth!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- realign the dish if no quality..
U don't have to worry about receiving help from me...it'll NEVER happen AGAIN!...U don't deserve any help from anybody here...I hate newbies who come here and then "know it all" when we try to help them...U think you're a hero cause U have TV today...wait another week, when its down again and U need help...good luck then pal!...LMAO
No, some come here acting stupid and know nothing, after you give them the possible causes, they don't come back to thank,only how smart they are.....I don't know how I did it ,but I have TV again. What a Funking joke try to help some people.
And I had said that we had been realigning it for 2 days. And just to let you know in my earlier post I THANKED everyone that helped. Just like I have always done!
If it takes you or "we" 2 days to align a dish, then SUBSCRIBE...U must be 2 brain surgeons with no respect, manners or BRAINS!!...been practicing on each other...LOL
And you are one to talk about manners!! I have read several posts where you do this same thing to everyone. The reason everyone is leaving this site is because of you. I have been reading posts on here for about a year and you always have to have that smart attitude and try to put down people that are asking for help. Well I won't ask for it again. There are plenty of other sites that will give people the respect that they deserve. And I know how to program the boxes, put in keys and all that needs to be done. I just politely asked for help and get all this BS. You are not worth my time in visiting this site. Arrigant people like you who think they know it all does not deserve the respect that some of us try so hard to give the world.
