OK, so I have a converted Pensat 2700 that I ran on the b75 bins up to this point. Since that's a dying bin, I thought I'd finally step up to puff. Well I tried to puff it, followed the directions and tried to load the latest puff bin and all I get is a constant puff..puff..puff display. It never ends! I can't get anything else to download on it. Is my receiver toast? Any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks guys!
The 201 series of PUFF BINs are new types of BINs called Full EMU. The latest is 203v2. Without going into technical details, I would urge everybody to a system rest after loading the latest 203v2 BIN, and do not load the saved channel master files if saved under the older PUFF 299. Then do a deletion of all channels and start with user setup and antennas setup and scan. Once you have everything satisfactory under the new system you may save the channel list under channels master and use it later.
Channel master is obtained from http://www.sharpc.com It is a free software, and you install it like any other software in your computer When running it you have to remember to use the same cable as the one used for downloading BINs, but in the software when asked, specify that you have a Pansat 2700 (not 2500 or FLU). The software comes with extensive instructions. Presaved channels lists under PUFF_299 will not work and you have to svae under new software 203V2 for them to be usable in future. You can do extensive editing of channels - names, parental control, favourites, etc. Merry Chritmas.
Fwank7_jvvh_203_puff (V-2) doesn't work anyways. I'm scared to do Factory Reset, as I think all PUFF, b-75 and other software on the box would be Deleted and I have to install everything from scratch. I did scan, blind scan, whatever.. Still no picture.
This: ========================= 1. Note down your user and antenna settings. 2. Delete all chanels and doa system reset. 3. Power down. 4. Power up and do user settings. 5. Do Antenna setup for one Sat, and do a Blind scan. 6. At the end of scan you should see the picture. 7. Do other antenna set ups and scan. 8. Do your channel editing and parental controls and favourites. 9. Save this under channel master. 10. Watch TV. ====================================== Just plain Nuts. Delete and clean whole receiver every time before installing new bin? Should I also knock it with the sledge hammer? I'll wait for more meanful Bin, - screw that.
Since version 201, the software has changed a lot. It is called full EMU. These are the growing pains of a new software. When the original conversion BINs came out, there was a lapse of about 4-6 versions spanning 2 months before everything settled down. I expect that everything will settle down to a proper rythm by version 205 or 206. In the meantime these are the instructions as understood by me from the details given by the author Fwank7 and other comments from various testers. Please note that I am NOT the author of these BINs
Nalin I created a new channel list but no channel is showing picture. Do I need to re scan after uploading channel list through channel master. Please advise. Is there any way I can get the channel list used in Toronto for 118 and 119 (DN) Thanks
YOU CANNOT USE ANY CHANNEL LIST CREATED UNDER PUFF_299 AND PRIOR. The use of channel master is for the future. You do a manual scan under PUFF_203v2 and then later you can use it for future full emu PUFF BINs.
Nalin, Now I got into trouble and the trouble is I can not get any signal and on blind scanning 0 transponders are found. What should I do now please help me. Should I load factory file or anything else you suggest. Please help.
Tamara: Calm down. 1. Go into Antenna setup and write down your settings. 2. Go into Channel Edit and delete all channels. 3. Do Reset. 4. Power down the receiver and wait a full 40-50 seconds. 5. Install PUFF_299 or similar. 6. Power down the receiver and wait a full 40-50 seconds. 7. Install PUFF_203V2. 8. Do user setup including date and time. 9. Power down the receiver and wait a full 40-50 seconds. 10. Do antenna setup for one Sat and then do a Blind Scan for the sat. 11. Wait up to 30 minutes for a picture. 12. Do scans of other sats.
Thanks Nalin I will try this again. Don't you think I need factory file to load, if so then which one? You have been very helful always. God bless you.
Thanks Nalin I got signal but now have other problem and that is Scanning blind stuck at 60% and does not go beyond it. After long long wait I cancel and the channels whiach have been scanned show as scramble channels. Any suggestion please. Am I bothering you too much? Sorry.
Doing a Blind scan: Blind scan consists of two phases. Phase 1: It goes and gets all the TPs that your Dish is aiming at. Phase 2: Each TP that the receiver got from above Phase 1, plus all the TPs that were already in the TP list are scanned one at a time for chanels.
If you have problems, they usually occur at Phase 2, mostly in the form of hanging up or freexing and scanning over and over again. If that is the case, you can scan individual TPs from the list that you got in Phase 1 and you will be able to identify the culprit TP, and skip over it.
Can somebody help me with my Flu Receiver I just loaded the puff 299 bin and then the new bin of frawn 203V2 on it and its still showing scrambled channels. I also turned everything off in the menu expect the keycode
Can somebody plz helpp it will be reallly appericiated
I reproduce the procedure given by Nalin to me when I had same proble. Follow this: 1. Go into Antenna setup and write down your settings. 2. Go into Channel Edit and delete all channels. 3. Do Reset. 4. Power down the receiver and wait a full 40-50 seconds. 5. Install PUFF_299 or similar. 6. Power down the receiver and wait a full 40-50 seconds. 7. Install PUFF_203V2. 8. Do user setup including date and time. 9. Power down the receiver and wait a full 40-50 seconds. 10. Do antenna setup for one Sat and then do a Blind Scan for the sat. 11. Wait up to 30 minutes for a picture. 12. Do scans of other sats.
Delete all channels. Note down Antenna settings. Reset. Switch off and on. Install 203v2 again. User setup. Antenna setup of one sat. blind scan. See TV. Continue with other sats. Edit channels and set up favourites and parental control. Save list under channel master. Use this list in future.
i did what you guys told me but it still says scrambled channels can you tell me what should i do now my antenna settings are for satellite 82 it comes on automatic
LNB TYPE: STANDARD LNB LOCAL FREQUENCY: 10750 22KHZ: OFF DISEQCFF LEGACY SW: NONE SATELLITE SCANE: ALL TP: 1 11826 H 20.00 POSITIONER SETTING: DISABLE SKEW: 45
gupu: Tell us what sats and LNBs you have and what you were getting before. Also some info about your switch, and the antenna settings as you have now in your receiver.
I HAVE SATELLITE 82 THAT WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE AND NOW AND I GUESS THATS ALL
LNB TYPE: STANDARD LNB LOCAL FREQUENCY: 10750 22KHZ: OFF DISEQC OFF LEGACY SW: NONE SATELLITE SCANE: ALL TP: 1 11826 H 20.00 POSITIONER SETTING: DISABLE SKEW: 45
gupu: It seems you have one dish and LNB pointing to 82W which is for Nimiq2 - a Bell sat. YOU CAN'T GET BELL - NOBODY CAN WITH A 2700 RECEIVER.
You will need to turn the Dish to point to Echo 3 at 61.5W to get Indian channels or to 110 or 119 degrees W to get DN. To get the exact alignment and elevation, use www.dishpointer.com Or get an installer to change the Dish pointing.
If you used to get Echo 3 before, try the following settings and a Blind Scan.
LNB TYPE: STANDARD LNB LOCAL FREQUENCY: 11250 22KHZ: OFF DISEQC OFF LEGACY SW: NONE SATELLITE SCANE: ALL TP: 1 12326 H 20.00 POSITIONER SETTING: DISABLE SKEW: 45
