New Bin File Pansat 201 Full EMU - Problems Solved 2700A 2700E 2700 2500A 2500

Problem: Receiver keeps rebooting. (2700A)
You cannot shut it OFF once the new file is installed.
To cure this, write an older file (i.e 2.98 or 2.99)
Or write the 201 file again and DO NOT turn the receiver power OFF.

Problem: Rolling PUFF on display. (2500A)
You cannot turn the power OFF once the file is loaded.
To cure this, write an older file (i.e 2.98 or 2.99) PUFF rolling will stop.
Or write the 201 file again and DO NOT turn the receiver power OFF.

Problem: Scrambled or Bad Channel error. (2500A or 2700A)
You will need to Factory Reset and resetup and rescan channels.

Problem: No Signal error. (2500A or 2700A)
You will need to Factory Reset and resetup and rescan channels.


Blind Scan Instructions

The new 201 Full EMU bin file will not work if you use your old channels. I have tried and comfirmed this. Also it can cause Echo 8.10/Ku to show no signal. If you think the file is bad, change satellites and you will find out it does work. This could explain why 61.5W is not working, too, and others. Factory Reset first. Reload the bin and keep the receiver powered On and manually set the satellites back up, then blind scan the channels in one satellite at a time.

Blind Scans are the recommended scan method for these receivers.

Write down all your antenna settings before you do a Factory Reset and always keep your settings in a safe place. Some tuck the paper they are written on in their User Manual.

Setup each satellite, Exit, Ok to Save on each one.

Notes:
To see Quality on Echo 6.8/Ku or 8.10/Ku (same satellite) default TP [1] 12224 V 20.000
To see Quality on Echo 7/Ku change the TP to [2] 12239 V 20.000 (119W)
To see Quality on Echo 3/Ku change the TP to [6] 12297 V 20.000 or [8] 12236 V 20.000 (61.5W)
To see Quality on Echo 5/Ku change the TP to [5] 12282 V 20.000 (129W)

Go down to blind scan, and blind scan each satellite once, seperately.

This file is working, and all later releases will probably do the same thing until you do this resetup and rescan procedure. A later file release will cure the problem with turning it Off. Try a long extension cord if your computer is too far from your TV, temporarily. Or, hope you have a friend with a Laptop with a serial port or a USB To Serial Adapter.

Other settings, set your Time Zone to your area. Summer Time OFF.

Renumber Local CH, enter City / State and Save.

Hit the SAT button and select Echostar Package. A box will pop up, select any channel there. This will place all channels in the proper provider order.

You should be good to go now.

Hope This All Helps For Now !!
