I have a dish pro 500 pointing towards 110 and 119 and my pansat 3500. I could see a quality of above 90% for both. I used the 319 bin and it worked fine for few days.
Since today morning, I am having this problem with 110 channels. After few minutes picture goes away and I see only "NO SIGNAL" then I have to power off and on the receiver to get the picture. Again same thing appens after a few minutes "no signal" displays....Please help
I tried reboot - via backswitch and it helps for few minutes only and then the same thing starts to happen
I dont understand why because it was working fine for almost 4 days. Even now If i play a channel, it works fine for couple of minutes and then without intervention, it goes off by itself and says "No signal". Then if i turn off pansat completely and turn it back on, it works again for couple of minutes.
Do a factory reset on the receiver, re-install the bin, and put your settings back in. If the problem still persists, this should rule out software/settings being the problem.
Also, check your cable connections from receiver to DP lnb. Possibly your lnb-switch is acting up.
i tried doing that but the problem is still there. If I connect the cable to the regular dishnetwork reciever, the channels work fine there but if i connect it to pansat, then after a while it displays no signal.
I AM SOOOO FRUSTRATED. no one else had this prob with this sh*&y pansat????
There have been some issues reported about bad electrolityc capacitors on the Pansat 2700 receivers, it has two 470 microfarads electrolityc capacitors near the power supply, if you take a look at them and they look like inflated or leaking then there is the problem.
The issues reported involve no picture or sound and signal level around 90% but no quality..
You must get 2 of the same capacity (470 microfarads) at 25 or 35 volts and replace them, just be cautious about install them in the right polarity denoted by a white line in one side and the minus (-) sign on it..it must match with a mark on the receiver board.
I think I have a fix for it. I have a dish pro plus lnb for dish 500 pointing towards 110 and 119 and I had a second dish Echo 1&2 connected to the input of DPP which I disconnected (someone on this forum mentioned that pansat can't handle three satellites) and it has been working fine I am keeping my fingers crossed.
your info is all wrong...Pansat can handle many satellites...its the numbers and types of LNB on the DISH that determines how many satellites u receive..
I have read all your posts and u definitely need to go to www.future-fta.info join for free and spend about 20 hours of reading there..
cbg: You had the second dish (on 148W) correctly connected physically to the DPP LNB, but probably not set properly in software of your Pansat 2700. Check Menu/Installation/Antenna for the settings. Also with a Pansat 3500 on a DPP LNBs and another Dish with its LNB, you might have a power supply problem.
I am keeping my fingers crossed.
