I would like to know what size of dish I have to use to able to get Telstar 5 from Bay Area, California and what channel list to load into pansat 2500A to get VTV4 (vietnamese channel)? Thanks a lot.


You need at least 30 inch dish to get the signal, and use UNIVERSALl LNB that made by Fortec. Good luck

I live in Canada in the Toronto area anyone know how big my Dish should be to catch a good signal on Telestar 5, the channel i want specifically is SPT. Im using a 80cm dish but barely can get a steady image. Using a Fortec Ultra. I am also using a Syntec 2000 platinum LNB which is 0.3db let me know what u guys think.

Hi I have a Pansat 2500A could I pickup Telestar 5 with a 30 inch and motore to.

Does the same LNB work for either echo and telesar/

thanks

Hi! check to see if you have standard or universal LNBF
if standard ku lNBF set lnb frequency to 10750

universal LNBF will set itself select universal 1 if that`s the one you have.

then in you antenna setup select T5 set LNB

set disqc switch if using one.

22khz to off

TP set to 11898

LNB power to on

position setting use USALS mode in this put in your lat & long then select move and press ok,
if your set right you should track T5 ,or you may have to adjust your dish ..good luck..
