HOWTO: Pansat 9200 Scan HD and How to install 8psk module

With the 9200: Scan All DN HD Channels Every Time
For the Pansat 9200, the following procedure will virtually guarantee finding all High Definition channels on each [Satellite] scan, whether published or not.

Even though not all transponders may actually be in use on the bird you are about to scan, manually input all 32 transponders, Twice. Once for the SD channels, and once for the HD channels. When you are finished, you should have 64 transponders stored. One thing that is standard with all DN and Bev satellites is they use the same transponder frequencies and polarity. You can obtain the list by going to LyngSat - Lyngemark Satellite or see the list below.

The protocol used is as following:

Menu
Installation
Satellite Setup
Edit TP/SAT
Choose Satellite
Edit TP
Delete all Transponders, one at a time

For Standard Channels

Down Frequency: 12443
Symbol Rate: 20000
Polarity: Horizontal
Tuner Type: DVB-S
Modulation: QPSK
Pilot: Off
FEC: 5/6

For High Def

Down Frequency: 12443
Symbol Rate: 21500
Polarity: Horizontal
Tuner Type: DVB-S2
Modulation: 8PSK
Pilot: On
FEC: 2/3

When finished, perform a Satellite Scan on each bird.

Interesting note: Usually the FEC, when set to Auto, will still normally find the proper Forward Error Correction, however, this is not the case with HD. When manual insertion is in use, the information must be exact.

I performed the above-mentioned procedure on all DN birds. Make sure you save your work to your USB card so as not to have to repeat this [lengthy but beneficial] process. In so doing, this procedure will ensure all current, and future HD channels will be found whenever a satellite scan is performed.

Note: Bev is QPSK [not 8PSK as is DN] and does not require this modification. It will however be beneficial to manually input all 32 transponders and the 20000 symbol rate. This will ensure 100% channels found, provided a good quality signal is present.
