LK i did what you told me to do checking system info. on this box and it said x87bl.and boot 6.o let me know if you what program it takes.Thanks for your help.bin 246 was there to.
its a Pansat 2700 clone, if it says X-87BL..and using an old 246 bin, current one is 289V1...all U need to do is upload the latest/current bin 289v1 from dsscommunity.c*om from below...U MUST use 2700 (NOT 2500- X 85BL) CLONE bins which will ALWAYS have the V after the bin number -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bin/File name Explanations
With Pansat bins U need to know some basics, which U can tell usually by the Bin file name..
060927 is the date the bin was released/created by Blacklist...so 06 is the year = 2006, 09 = 9th month September, 27 is the day of the month = 27th day, 279 is the actually bin # which usually follows sequence from the previously released bin... so the above bin EXAMPLE means..
X-85BL_060927_279_db_api(N).zip....this bin was created/released by Blacklist for the Pansat 2500 on September 27, 2006...and it is bin number 279 which followed bin 278 and the next bin number whenever it is released should be 280..
Also remember that U must use the correct bin for your particular model, they are NOT interchangeable...
Also remember these bins are for Genuine Pansat receivers ONLY, NOT clones(imitations)!..they will damage your clone..
For Pansat CLONES, the bin file names are ALMOST exactly the same but usually will have the letter "T" (for Tested ) after the bin number..such as bin number 279T...if U have a clone pay close attention to this and make sure U use a CLONE safe bin...usually clone bins will also say it in the post that its a Pansat bin made and modified for clones....so READ the description and file name VERY carefully before U attempt to upload it into your receivers..NOT all "T" bins are SAFE for clones either, make sure it says "Clone SAFE", some are just modified for Tivo use and NOT Clone use..
Also Pansat 2700 Clone bins do NOT end with "T", they usually are X-87BL.. date (061108)... bin # (284v)...example X-87BL 061108_ 284v1 and STATE clearly they are pansat 2700 CLONE bin
Pansat 2500 Clone bins will always end in "T"
I have yet to see a Pansat 3500 Clone safe bin...
Lastly again, read the ENTIRE file name, NOT only the bin number, because many times different models (1500-2500-2700 especially) will have the same bin number..and again , they are NOT interchangeable, and will do much damage to your receiver if U use the WRONG bin file!
BTW...the Fortec Ultra is considered a Pansat 2500 CLONE and uses the same bins as them..
