I've been using 110 & 119 for my Pansat 3500SD for awhile. Few days ago, I accidentally did factory reset on my Pansat 3500SD. Since then I have successfully scanned 110 & 119 w/o any problems. Every time I try to align the channels using EchoStar package, everything freezes. Resetting and scanning has been done. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Please help.

try deleting all your channels and rescanning. maybe channel list is corrupt.

if that doesn't work, try reloading your bin.

I've deleted all channels using factory reset. Everytime I rescann, it's the same. Remote becomes useless and I have to turn it off by using the power switch in rear. I am still new to all of this.

Troubleshoot. maybe your remote is broken. get a universal remote that you can use in place of your pansat remote (or borrow one).

Jason - Thanks. I don't think it's the remote. One thing I noticed was that after several minutes the picture remains frozen but I can scroll all channels. Picking another channel gives an error "No signal" or "Scrambled channel". The picture on the TV remains frozen from the channel it is tuned to when the power is turned on.

Can you get about half of your channels?

Jason/Nikk,
I've checked the remote, nothing there. I can get all of the channels. No issues there. Settings are correct for LNB and the switch is fine. Matter of fact everything great was until I accidentially hit factory reset on the remote. Should be more careful when multi-tasking.

May have to reload the bins. FTA Experts - what do you think?

I guess start from scratch. Do another factory reset, reload your bin, put your antenna settings back, make sure autoroll is on, and rescan.

Last night, did another factory reset (w/o reload). Rescanned w/Autoroll on. Got new keys, but no sound and no picture. Not only that. Everything froze again (see my 1st post). Left it unplugged overnight after another factory reset.

Try this.....
A) Download factory Bin.
B) Now download the current Bin.
C) Factory resetting.
D) Do a blind or power scan.

Kavin - At this point I am willing to try anything. As soon as I have some time I will do it. I hope the receiver is not dead.

Last night I did the following - press set default key, turn off via back switch, turn on and wait for keys to roll. Five mins later it was working. I am good to go.

So all u simply needed was to activate the autoroll, reboot the receiver and let the autoroll do its thing..

Usually all the solutions are the simplest things like that...especially a reboot!...and persistence..

Congrats...
