I have Pansat 3500sd. I was told to go to Echostar 10 - 119 to pick up the local Knoxville TN channels. My menu does not have ECHOSTAR 10,it has 8.10. I was then told to go to menu and choose settings. My menu only shows factory settings and I don't want to hit that one. I was told under settings to select city and state and rescan. Can't seem to find any of this. It just seems that Arkansas is so close to Tennessee that I should be able to pick them up. Can anyone please help me in what I can do.

Yes it's in the menu>>>settings Yo have to choose local channels>>>select city, state Yo may have to rescan after selection to enable correct

You are not going to find them because they are not there. He knows nothing about this hobby, he is as phony as a $3.00 bill
(Quote)sat-man, My menu does not have ECHOSTAR 10,it has 8.10.
how do I say this look sat-man there are two Birds here @110.o*W Bird 8 which now is Bird 11 and the other Bird is Bird 10 so go here as I have listed and do a TP scan only on this TP Freq.12384 H if there is a good Quality Signal there you will pickup all the Networks as I have listest below.
sat-man All the local channels from Knoxville Tennessee are listed at EchoStar 10 @ 110.o*W Freq.12384 H
WATE TV 6 (ABC) WATE 9310 12s10 110° E*10 Local - Meridian WVLT TV 8 (CBS) WVLT 9311 12s10 110° E*10 Local - Knoxville WBIR TV 10 (NBC) WBIR 9312 12s10 110° E*10 Local - Knoxville WTNZ TV 43 (Fox) WTNZ 9313 12s10 110° E*10 Local - Knoxville WBXX TV 20 (CW) Crossdale WBXX 9314 12s10 110° E*10 Local - Knoxville WKOP TV 15 (PBS) WKOP 9316 12s10 110° E*10 Local - Knoxville WVLR TV 48 (CTN) Tazewell WVLR 9318
Sat-man (Jim) I told yo how to get them It's a frequency issue that can be corrected Yo could of asked me questions instead of being sarcastic There is only me at this forum that could of walked yo thru frequency adjust
Instead That 13 year old Hawk boy is distracting the way
BTW Freq adjust is more than a button to hit It will require removal of TPs and re-entering them manually if city and state is not a choice A specific TP must be scanned Good luck
Tooter Then yo don't have any experience with Spot beam scans It's a beam share selected by specific freq
To be honest with yo There is very little talked about it And if anyone here at this forum to re-discover it, it will be Plymouth But will take him few days I could of helped yo in few minutes
"selecting city and sate is for local channel renumbering - it has nothing to do with receiving the signal "
It is a renumbering no doubt It's also also capability of yor tuner In many cases by re-scaning that specific TP after picking the city/state it will readjust by 1K Hz
If it doesn't - Yo change the freq manually and re-scan It's not hard
When I say change freq I don't mean LNB freq I say TP freq 500Hz at a time Or entering PID manually but I don't think Pansuck has that So adjusting freq manually in TP is best choice if City/state is not an option
Also check Bird 123W, TP5 I do see little Rock on the list
I meant that in a good way I do recognize yo as capable to scan that specific freq on that TP As I think there is less than 5 people can actually do it And yor one of them
King Last week i found a new satellite and over 20 channels in Ku band between 35W and 55W This sat is not list in Lyngsat, i get it with Globecast setting and scan with motor. I found it on lyngsat and i'm not able to found it again, because i dont note the degree. I will try to find it.
Let me give everyone a Free experiment on Spot Beam Parameters: Available on 110W as an illustration example
- Freq 12384 L Polarity or 12384 MHz (it actually means 12.384 GHz Can be expressed as 12384000 Hz
- One TP may hold up to 50 spot Beams to service 50 Regions on same TP This is how satellite owners advertise it They do high s/r at 20,000 to fit as many channels as possible
- TP 12, 12384 MHz, Left hand Polarity - 12384, L Hold Spot Beam areas: 7, 10, 13, 16, 20, 27, 28, 30, 38, 45 all on same wave length But in reality slightly different freq All limited by yor receiver freq boundaries
- providers program paid service receiver tuners with fixed parameters for each town
But in FTA receivers when yo do basic scan yo get what yo get based on yor global position and fixed TP presets on that tuner - If yo move a 100 miles yo can get slightly different result on that TP this is known as frequency pitch
- Another way to get different channels is by changing frequency tune slightly on TP12 or 12384 - The big question is by How much? (Surrounded by 12370 and 12399) and decided by yor global position So I would say not less than 12376 no more than 12393) Any higher or lower will overlap previous TP - Different results will vary from one global place to another after all this is laser precession
- Another technique will be Add TP to yor tuner manually As an example will be Add Tp#N starting 12376, L and work yor way up to 12393 Keep in mind all trial and error
- Another way thru, freq PID (was previously public) But even D#N was playing around with PID to stop PTA, so I would try to find another person who gets Knoxville to give yo actual PID to rescan it otherwise I don't think it is public - I was hoping that when yo do City, State and rescan TP12 12384 can give yo different result and gain missing freq it will save the day
So bottom line yo would ask me what's the best solution? - I would say try City, State in User settings first followed by TP scan - Or Add a manual TP starting 12376, Pol L, S/R 20,000, FEC 5/6 - Scan TP AND HAVE FUN
White Hawk Don't even think about it This is an adult discussion with highly technical terminology, Keep out
Sat-man Yo are allowed to ask questions if yo don't think I'm qualified enough to answer it But as long as yo don't get sarcastic with me Good Luck
sounds more like - Baffle 'em with BS. that's not what I was writing about I don't think yo understood my objective
why make things so difficult It is not that hard Yo can actually get all 1000 channels with a good receiver tuner on 110 if yo spend couple of hours And if yo start with TP12 it might just get exciting
Tooter. Help please. 3500sd receiver. Local channels for Atlanta work fine. Can I add Orlando channels (TP4 12268 EchoStar10) and retain Atlanta stations?
