--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks goes to Raven Ramon

This is a copy and paste.
Start C/P

I have tweaked, combined and added some detail that may answer some questions for the first time FTA testers.

DO NOT run the Downloader from the zip file. Unzip the files to a folder, then proceed with the instructions below....

PLEASE.......Read the instructions first. Then Download the "UT Pansat 2700A only.zip" file at the bottom which contain both applications, or download the individule application depending on your needs.

Here we Go :

1). Turn your 2700 "OFF" via rear switch.
2). Connect the RS232C null modem cable to the receiver and Com1 port of your computer. (Use Com2 if not Com1 is not available).
3). Plug in the receiver, Turn your 2700 "ON" via the rear switch, and see that the "On" is indicated on the LED on the receiver.
4). Run the Downloader 27.01 from the new created folder. (3.35 loader for factory bin)
5. Click the App File only button, browser and select the "latest update" file,example X-87BL_070204_195_api then click the Open button.
6. Double check and make sure the cable is securely connected.
7. Click the Download button, wait until the "Download Completed!!" is displayed. Watch the LED on the receiver, it should reboot itself, wait until the "On" display.
8). Wait for unit to finish flash, DO NOT INTERUPT!
9). When receiver reboots and displays "On" You are done with the software update.

NOTE; The channel list provided is working5 by Wingnutt101 for LEGACY lnbs ONLY !!!
10). To load a channel list on your 2700, start & run the application Ch Editor187 (Pansat 2700A)
11). When Pansat Channel Editor 2700a appears, click file, open, select the channel list working5-legacy-2700
12). At the top of the screen click where it says "Tools" and goto "Connect to receiver' Then click "Download"
13). Wait till finished and unit will reboot to channel 0001. Your Pansat 2700 is now flashed and a Legacy Dishnet channel list has been loaded.
14). Wait for unit to finish flash, DO NOT INTERUPT!
15). Turn your 2700 "OFF" via rear switch.
16). Unplug and disconnect receiver from PC


Connecting the receiver to the TV.
17). Connect all the RCA cable from the TV to the receiver, connect the R6 Cable from the dish to the IF input of the receiver. Plug in the power cord from the receiver to an AC outlet.
18). You should see the Language Menu on the TV screen, select English.

Satellite Setup.
Note : I removed the SW21 then I connected my Dish 500 Duel legacy LNB 119 cable to the LNB1 of the DISEqC, then I connected my LNB 110 cable to the LNB2 of the DISEqC switch. The FTAs are not compatible with SW21s.
19). Goto the Installation Option, enter "0000" for p*********word
20). Goto the Antenna setup Option,
21). Select satellite you want (birds Echo8.6/Ku at 110W and Echo7/Ku at 119W are the Dishnet birds), press the OK button. DO NOT select more then one satellite if you only have one satellite.
22). LNB Type: select "Standard"
23). LNB Local-Freq: enter "11250"
24). 22kHz: OFF
25). See above note: DiSeqC: 0, if you have two lnbs on the dish or two dish then change it to the correct lnb #1, #2, so on...
26). Skew: 45
27). TP: leave it as is
28). Check the Level= highest as you can, and Quality= highest as you can (adjust the dish slightly to improve the signal strength)
29). If you get no quality level on these transponders, try others before giving up. Not all transponders are transmitting all the time. MAKE SURE THE CABLE IS PLUGGED INTO THE "IF INPUT" PORT ON THE BACK OF THE RECEIVER! Plug the other end directly into the LNB on your Dish.
30). Readjust your dish if you still not getting any quality signal
31). Press the Exit button, press OK to save setting

Note: this step is not required if you used the working5-legacy-2700 in steps 10 through 16
Scanning for Channels(10 minutes)
32). Go back to the Installation Menu
33). Go to Satellite Scan, press OK, select the satellite to scan using the left or right vol button(it should turn RED). Press OK to start the scanning.

WATCH TV!


You can now go back to your channel list and delete all of the channels that are duplicate, and bad or scramble error. they are "Ghost Channels".

Hope this helps someone and save them from scratching their heads !

Good Luck and Happy Testing !

Raven

hi I just purchased a CaptiveWorks 600s premium with a DirectTV dish. Following the instructions I got on www.dummysat.com/cw600sp.aspx, I made it all the way to step 7, where I block. Here are my settings:

My dish is set at 220 degrees elevation 35
The box settings are as follows

Satellite: 41Nimq1 (91 w)
transponder: 12603
lnb freq 11250
lnb type normal
22khz normal
diseq # Lnb1
motorised system none

I get strength 64% but quality 0%

Can someone help me find what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Tania...

If you are using a Diseqc then the 22KHz option must be off, it seems you are getting low signal strenght, check your dish alignment and also the mounting base should be properly leveled.

Check the signal level on other transponders, after that downloading the channel list is optional, you can do a blind scan to get the active TP's and channels.....

Where are you located???

change your comport settings..and use 297v1 w tivo..

Flash failed is a communication problem between receiver and PC..
