I have a problem. I was viewing my movies and all of a sudden the system went down. The whole power supply of my pansat shut off. I had to get it fixed. Someone was telling me that I got booted and then it burnt out my power supply. I really don't know what he was trying to tell me. Do you know how I can prevent it from happening again?

I'm not sure what they mean by booted. To my knowledge, the FTA receivers don't react to the sat signals like the modified cards will. They go out because something in the encryption stream was changed. Small encryption changes are usually a key change and just require input of new keys or if you are running a bin file with auto roll, it will find the new keys for you. Any other encryption change that is more envolved will usually require the install of a new bin file once the code writers learn the proper way the encryption has been changed. Your loss of picture was probably just a key change. Its best to read guides on doing this yourself since the keys change almost daily. Updating the bin file is also very easy once you have done it a few times. Less than 5 minutes in time.

Hey jerry,
We didn't loose just the picture, we whole system got burnt out. I was using the new bin with autoroll, 312.api. The guy we know was telling us that the signals from our sat and bell some how interacted and booted our system and then burnt it out.
I don't what happened. We had to get it repaired. Now I have reloaded with the loader you had given me and it works again, but I hope it doesn't burn out again.

I still don't believe the signal can do that. The receiver must have been defective and would have burned out anyway. I belong to several other FTA sites and never read of any signals burning out a receiver without an internal problem. I guess anything might be possible, but if the signal caused it on your 3500, then there would be hundreds of posts on those sites about the same problem.
The only other similar problem is what happens when the Blacklist bin file is installed in a CLONE receiver that is not a true Pansat receiver. The bin file will shut down the CLONE receiver and it will need special help to get it back up and running again. It isn't actually damaged, just sort of locked out of being used.

Thanks for clearing it up for me. I didn't really believe what he had to say anyways, but it doesn't hurt to clarify.

I sometimes get duplicates too. I just use the channel edit feature and delete the dups. The Channel Master program has some good features and can find and correct the problem in your channel list, if you know how to use it.

can someone help me set up my pansat 3500s? my uncle gave it to me and my roommate and already set up all the satellites and what not but we accidently factory reset it once the channels stopped working...
i remember having echo 7, echo 8.10, and t-5 i think.. the problem is when i select these satellites and put in new keys and try to scan we are missing a lot of our channels, are there some settings i need ot change while choosing a satellite?

Go into the receiver sat setup and check the LNB type and switch settings for each sat. The settings have to match the lnb and switch setting or it worn't work. Example:: If using standard LNBs make sure that is whats is selected. If LNB for 110 is on switch port #1 make sure its that way in the setup. Same for LNB on 119 and so on. If using a DishPro setup, then select that choice for the LNBs.

Well if you entered the keys and it worked for several hours then you did everything right. What happened when it went out was probably another key change. The providers have been changing keys on a regular basis even several times in one day. Thats why its best to get the latest bin file installed that has a working auto roll for the keys. The auto roll will find the new keys when needed. Now, even with the auto roll bin, you may find at times that doesn't work. Thats because the providers will change the encryption enough to disable the auto roll feature. then you are back to manually entering keys again until a NEW bin comes out.
This is the game thats played all the time between the dish providers and the code (bin) writers. My suggestion to all those out there that rely on other people to program their receivers is to join a good FTA forum and then read all they can about how to update your receiver yourself. Both the key update process and the bin file update are easy to do. Most FTA forums are free to join and all files needed are also free and can be downloaded off those sites. They usually have beginners areas with detailed instructions on both processes. I try to help out here as much as possible but my time on these forums is limited. I'll list a few sites below with the main receiver they lean towards.
http://www.furure-fta.info. -Pansats
http://www.hashhu.com. -Viewsats
http://www.f2atv.com. -Coolsats
http://www.electronicguru.net. -supports most brands.
These sites also have sections on other brands of receivers but the one listed above is sort of their favorite. Hope this helps some of you get to learn more about your receivers. I'll still be around here to help if needed.

Before the key you can use it longer now you have to update at all time. Why is that? Thanks for your help.

The providers (Dish Net and BEV) change the keys as often as they can in the hope that people like us will get tired of updating the receivers and sign up for a subscription with them. They thought they had us beat back in June but found out our code writers are as good as their encryption writers. So all they can do for now is change codes often until they try another complete encryption change.

Got a used pansat 3500s from a friend. Try to install the new b80 file but the pc cannot detect pansat 3500s. I use a generic RS232 cable, do you need a special RS232 cable ? I got mine from the local computer store.
Thanks

You probably have the normal straight through cable. The Pansats need what is called a NULL cable which has a few of the internal wires crossed on purpose. You might find one at Radio Shack or try the computer store again.

I have a 3500sd, I did have it working before when I first purchased it. But the problem I am having since I put in the new keys is that it just keeps waiting for picture. It has been up into the 30000% range and still never gets a picture. Could you please tell me how to fix this. Thank you in advance!!

If you have the latest auto roll bin you shouldn't need to enter keys. Here is a link to the newest 3500 bin file.
There has been several encryption changes to defeat the auto roll feature. If you are using an older bin file it won't work.
