How long should a scan take on a Pansat 2700a? This is my first setup and have added echo7 (roughly 85% signal and 85% quality) and when I scan it (satellite scan, TP scan or blind scan) the scan finds a few channels then seems to hang.
I feel like I have gone through the proper steps to set this up, but I'm not 100% positive...
i had that problem with my 2700a clone. It used to hang at60% or so, but my problem was signal strength. 85% should be rockin for ya. One other thing I did wrong was I had the wrong lnb type in setup. these 2 things solved my hanging problem. not much for ya but i hope it helped!
Hi There, are we still using echo 7 and echo 8 my pansat is showing SBS6, and AMC5, as the working satalit, if this is not correct working satlite, how would I go about getting echo 7 and echo 8
Mag0o, I have my dual LNB picked as Standard with LNB Local Freq set at 11250. Make sure you choose 119 as #1 and 110 as #2 as your Diseqc in the Atenna setup.
jack, I'm assuming I have to move the dish to go between 110 and 119, correct? If I'm wrong let me know and I'll go hook up the other connector and grab 2 birds with one round dish...
Hello I have the same problem (Sat. scan and Bling Scan hang) I have a Pansat 2500A my settings are Echo 7 at 119 LNB type Standart Local Frec 11250 22 khz off Disq off Scan ALL
Well, for my hanging problems I have found a solution that works for me. Not being exactly sure which sat I'm pointing at (I'm able to get Venus ppv if anyone can let me know which sat I'm pointing at) but my solution was to do a blind scan, let it find all of the TP's it could, wait for the blind scan to hand, look at the TP frequency it was hanging on, stop the blind scan and then delete that TP, then just do a Satellite scan and if it hangs again, delete that TP.
This may be a backasswards way of doing it, but it's working fine for me.
BTW, the 'dual' LNB I'm using is one of the DTV LNB's that just points at one satellite and allows 2 receivers, so if I want a different satellite I will have to move the dish.
OK, disregard my post about deleting TP's and such. I was scanning echo 7 and 8 when I was pointed at nimiq 1...doh! I will try a rescan tonight on the proper satellite and see what I come up with this time and see if it hangs...
