With my Pansat3500SD, I am tired of scanning and rescanning after loading a new BIN every week. Is there a way I can upload my channels before installing a new BIN? Also, other than using null modem cable, what can I use to load a new BIN? Please help.
Tooter -Everytime I've loaded a bin, channels were erased. When loading a bin I would take the following steps: turn off using rear switch, get the loader ready, turn it on via rear switch, as soon as B-80 appears hit download on computer, let the download complete.
Afterwards, the STB goes to start menu (choose language, installation, chooisng satellite for scanning, etc...)
you said, "allow the 3500 to fully boot and display a channel before starting the download". How do I do let it fully boot? Can you please explain it?
me ta - No kidding, dude. I've always done it that way. Really didn't bother with it til now. As long as it was working, it didn't matter to me. Yeah, you are right. I should have asked long ago.
I Am also having problem loading new bin. I am using loader X-05bl v35.01. The laoder says its downloading, but its not loading. I have waited hours for file to upload. No result. PLEASE HELP
The boot is B-80. I purchased the receiver over iyear ago and never used it. I just loaded a bin to a CS 6000 using same cable with no problem. First time using loader.
CS6000 uses a straight RS 232 cable. The Pansat 3500 requires a Null Modem cable. You can buy a F/F null modem separate cable and then you will always be confused which one for which. Or you can buy a DB9 M/F null adaptor from Radio Shack. Then using the adaptor and cable in series you have one type of cable and not having the adpator in will give you the other cable. And you will always be able to use any unknown cable
