Re: Installing a Pansat 2500a on a C-band System?

You will need 2 2ways splitter, one port DC pass and the other port DC block.
You also need a Diseqc 2 ways for your Pansat.
1. connect 2 cables from lnbs to the 2 splitters.
2. Connect 2 DC pass ports from 2 splitters to your analog receiver.
3. Connect 2 DC block port from the the spiltters to a Diseqc 2 ways.
4. Set up your Pansat to controll the Diseqc switch.
In other words, your analog serves as the master one which still send the voltage and control the the polarity. Let say your analog is on Vertical lnb, then Pansat will receive the signal from the Vertical. Once you set up the Pansat switch the Diseqc ports correctly, the Pansat you will get the same signal as your analog one gets.

I'm getting a new Pansat 2500a next week and I want to hook it to my C-band System. Which is the easiest way to do this, hook it up like its another receiver or what.

Also since my C-band system is dual feed which means it has 2 LNB's one for Vertical the other is Horizontal. How would I set up the pansat so it uses both LNB's?

What parts do I need to do this other then the receiver?
