dish pro with pansat 2500

[vovinam]

Can I use dish pro 500, dual LNB with built in switch and 4 output for the pansat 2500A ? Any body knows about this , please help ! Thanks in advance.

YES and NO. Yes, because you can use them but you have to edit the TP's polarities. No, because with that kind of trouble, better buy legacy's double ones, easier and faster!!!

Thanks calin ! How do I edit polarity TP ? If it's easy to do then I'll try it otherwise I go with your advised. Thanks again Calin.

I visit other forums, so I do not remember where is the procedure to do that, but what I remember is that you have a base number (I do not remember from where you get that) that substract from each one of the TP's and the result you will use it for freq and you change the H for V and the V for H; well sort of. I do not care about that, that is why I recomend the other way

Or,

You can get a "pro" channel list that has all of the work done for you. Just load it to your Pansat and you are done. No external switches to worry about. Much easier and faster than legacy setups. IMO

I agree with wingnut101. The DP LNB works great. I only use DP LNB's due to the fact that no external switches are required. You just need to download a modified channel list for DP. Wingnut101 makes an excellent list and so does Dido Smith, or you can download channel master program by sharp c and do your own scan and then modify it yourself using that and there is a tp and nids fix, that will make it work with your EPG bin. I myself recommend using either wingnut101's list or Dido Smith's list for Dish pro. It will have you up and running much faster! Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you guys! Specially when you help friends and they do not want to spend to much money -specially in those N2 days- Everyday anybody can learn something here! But, where can I get that program or list? Here? Thanks for the answer!

The Dish Pro does not need any external switches if you are just going for 2 satellites. If you want to add a third bird you should use a DP34. You also need to make sure that you use a channel list that is modified for Dish Pro. Hope that helps.

A SW21 is not compatible with FTA you will need a DP34, that will work. That is only if you are going for more than 2 birds. If you are just going for the 110 & 119 birds you don't need any switch with a Dish Pro LNB, it has a built in switch. You will need a modified channel list for DP for it to work properly. Hope this helps.
