hektorin · #1 (**permalink**) 06-27-2006, 04:29 PM

Can someone please tell me how to add a new bird? I was wondering where can I find the freq. the location and the range, so I can enter it on my receiver!

I'm just playing with my PANSAT3500 and my new toys: 36" Forstar Dish and my HH90 Motor and to top it off my Invacom LNBF !!! please help !!!

I am not familiar with your receiver but all tp info can be found at www.lyngsat.com along with location.

In my receiver, there are empty entries at the end of satellite list, in "Dish Settings" menu.

on the 3500 (and most Pansats)

menu
antenna setup (enter password)
scroll down to edit Tp/Sat
scroll down to "new" and add satellite

Or if you are KU only, you can rename a C-Band sdatellite

OK, I got that far, now the problem is where can I get the info about the satellite? such as frequency range etc? my receiver does not have the IA5 satellite and I would like to add it but I dont know the settings of such satellite.

Good luck

It could appear by different name there: Telstar5, Telestar5 or just "T5".
For the frequency range, do a blind scan with your LNB properly set to KU band range (10750 L.O), after blind scan, compare to lyngsat.com

as boroda1 said it is probaly listed as telestar 5. I don't have the pansat. the fortec ultra list it as IA5.

Pansat uses the old name still
T-5 is the 1st one on the list. Labelled T-5Ku

You were sooo right !!! it was under T5 !!! ok .. the next questions is how can I know which satellite is Linear or Circular? I'm using the Invacom LNBF but I havent been able to figure out when I should use the linear or circular setting

www.lyngsat.com A circular sat is marked as R & L and linear sat is marked as H & V
