Ok i am pretty good at stuff like this but before i invest money into the 3500 box i have a few questions. any help be awesome thanks
1. i have a bell dish (in Canada) and would it work on a 3500pansat box?
2. i am looking at pansat 3500 is this a wise choice?
3. programs and files. can i get a link to where i need to download all these programs to load files and such.
4. how often does the 3500 go down and how fast for it to be back up?
i have been reading through fourm trying to find similiar posts but its all over the place.

Answers:::
1. Yes the 3500 will work with BEV as long as you have the latest working bin file for that provider.
2. Pansat receivers are one of the better choices at this time.
3. See the Bindepot link under my eagle or try www.future-fta.info.
4. This thread probably has the most info on the 3500 at this time. Up/down time is anybodies guess. It all depends on how big a change is done to the encryption stream. Present conditions are about 1 week up, then a few days down for a new bin to show up when needed.

HEY MOLSEN
1) You will need two dishes one pointing at Bell the other at the Dishnetwork.
2) You can download the files at http://www.future-fta.info/Forums/ to program your dish.
3) lately every week the FTA receivers are going down. Personally I own both Pansat and Viewsat Extreme. I like the Viewsat for many reasons.
*WARNING* for Canadians we can be charged for stealing the Bell signal. In the USA they can't be charged for stealing the Bell signal.
Also consider this, www.viewsatcanadaretail.com has a new FTA receiver called NFusion that has a ethernet (computer internet cable port) you plug this in and it automatically gets the updates it's self. Thus less work for you. However if there is NOT an update you have to wait.
Thanks

you NEED two (2) dishes. One points at the BEV satelite the other points at the US dish. Usually the US dish has two (2) LNBs. One LNB picks up satelite 110 the other satelite 119. So in total you will have two (2) dishes three LNBS and one (1) receiver either Pansat or Viewsat.
Hopes this makes sense
Thanks

i understand that yes.
there is no way to just use my bell dish and get just those channels.
i am sure i know a couple people who just steal the bell channles with 1 dish with a coolsat 6000

Hey Molsen
Yes you can do that infact I know a number of people that did that. Just get the FTA receiver, put it where your BEV was, make sure it is programmed and bang you got BEV free. You can even watch the HD FTA and got those signals for free (if you get a HD FTA receiver) !!! If you do that look at the Viewsat with USB key as it is MUCH easier to program.
Thanks

yes the FTA is the Free To Air receiver like the Pansat 3500. I would suggest looking at the Viewsat Extreme, Jerry "the God in this form swears by it and gave his Pansat to his daughter I think. I agree with him that the Viewsat Extreme is nice
Thanks

Before you say "bad caps", first off this is a hand-me-down box that i have NEVER got a picture on ever.
I have dialed in the dish pro 500 (DP dual-LNB) using my DN box and get 125 signal strength, so the sat is positioned semi-correctly.
I have set my sats to:
Echo 7
LNB type Dish-Pro
LNB Local-Freq. 11250
22kHz Off
Diseqc: #1
Legacy none
TP 12239
I get a "level of 57% constantly, but 0% quality.
No matter where I move the dish to, I cannot get any higher than 57% Level (assuming this is the signal level), and NEVER any Quality.
#1 it doesn't jump from 0 to 90% and back, It just sits there.
#2 I checked, and neither c13 or c14 are bulging at the top, nor leaking at the bottom. I'm relatively new to electronics, so I've never done any soldering, but I'm sure I could if I had to. I'm just not sure it's necessary as neither of those capacitors seem to be even remotely bad.
Any ideas?

Here are a few things to try, but most are from memory so I'm not 100% sure. With the DP setup, I think the 22khz setting needs to be on and where you have Legacy None--I think needs to one of the other settings also. Where you have them set now are for single type LNBs. I also assume you have the latest bin file loaded in the receiver. Without that you will get almost nothing in the way of channels.

I've tried many variations:
Currently tried
Legacy Twin LNB 1
22kHz On
Diseqc 1
TP refuses to stay changed. I change from 12225 to 12239 or 12370 and when I exit/save it changes back to 12225.
Still, no signal, 0% quality. What is the "Level" meter for on the 3500? i can point the dish at the ground and it still says 56%. When I disconnect the coax, I still get 31% .. any ideas there?

I found this posted on another site. See if it helps.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
DishPro TWIN, QUAD or PLUS LNBs have an internal DiSEq switch and use an LO of 11250
For FTA receivers the switch settings are:
LNB Type = OCS DP
LNB Freq = 11250
DiSEqC = 1(or A) for 119 (Echo7)
DiSEqC = 2(or B) for 110 (Echo 8,10)
Use no external switches unless you are adding a 3rd satellite/LNB to your system. You will also need to use a DP channel list OR manually edit the H transponders

Please help, please!!!!!
I have just upgraded to pansat 3500sd from coolsat 5000, I know that I have alot readings to do but I am afraid that I have bought the clone because when I loaded bin file to the box, it said not the bin file ( I downloaded from tvkeyz and bindepot), but when I clicked on the option "channel only" not on "app only" and it was working.
The TV screen is still black and later appear (scrmmmmble).
I wonder why the box acts like that. is it the clone???

Here is a link to the main Pansat site (free to Join). Depending on what was already done to your 3500, you may need to upgrade the boot file. The second link is to that process. There is also information there about HOW TO TELL IF YOU HAVE A CLONE. My guess is that the boot file needs updated first. Hope this helps.

Thank you for yr response, I check on it and give you feed back later. I thought I could use the shortcut based on what I know from coolsat. Well, it is not. The pansat is not friendly interface as coolsat , (atleast for me). I have to do it from the beginning now.
Thanks again Jerry. I am just happy cause someone's out there look out for me.

The boot upgrade process only needs done one time, then it should also as easy as the Coolsats. The 3500 has the option to use a flash drive if I'm not mistaken which will be even easier once you learn how the first time.

Jerry,
Finally, I got it working. The problem is the loader for my pansat is 35.01. I used the old one(GTRom Loader V3.40, I got from the previous pages from this thread). I get the new one at the pansatusa website. It has the package with everything needed( factory bin, boot bin, loader, instructions).
I still stand by with the friendly stuff. Pansat uses 3 numbers and 3 letters to name a channel.(ex:cartoon network =123car). I don't know most of the channels. I have to sort them out to group them together and lock them too.

Hi Jerry
I have pansat3500 and previously I had one TV and one receiver from dish network. I use to get all Indian Hindi channels but recently I got another TV due to which I had to replace my existing receiver with another single receiver with multi TV function. Now when I blind scan I get only ZeeSports. I am not getting any other channel. Can anyone tell me what can be the reason?
