terminatorboy · February 20th, 2006

i have a pansat 2500a with diqth swith out to 91, 110, 119. but i always have problem with the line 119, i thought it just a bad diqth swith and had bough about 5 more and still have the same problem. however, when i connect line 119 straight to the pansat it works good? what is the problem i have?????well i don't ever have problem with other lines but only with 119 no matter what diqth swith i use or what port# i set. is there a short circuit some where in the dish???? please help me out, this problem had going on for as long as i connect 119 using diqth swith. thanks in advance

If 119 is the first sat in the list, just add a dummy satellite as the first sat.

A weak lnb will also cause that problem. It could be any of a dozen things.

You can try to change the switch number as well, sometimes the switch fries when you plug and unplug terminals without turning off the receiver,or at least the main cable.

how do you add a dummy satellite? Is there a direction somewhere? Thanks

You can ADD a new sat using your control,name it echoxxxx, the the first sat that appears in your list just rename(dummy).Do a new scan for the new sat.You can use your channel master as well and move the first down and on the top create a new one named dummy.
