this is a c/p from another site:
After my head was spinning reading every post about clones,killer bins,TSOP's,chipsets and so on and so forth.Here's what I have determined.....I have both a clone and a gen-u-wine Pansat 2500a. I did a factory flash on the real one,then put the 251 bin in it the loaded my channel list,and it works very well,some minor freezing from time to time,but very good.I also have a clone that I was afraid to touch. After thinking , what do I have to loose,I then decided to load my clone that has the chipset:
TSOP: 39vf800a-70-4c-ek
STi: STi5518bqc
Here's what I did:
1. I erased the channel list with the remote(knowing it doesn't wipe out the bin)
2. I used a Pansat2500a factory flash and re-flashed the unit.
3. I loaded the 251 bin
4. I then loaded my channel list(did not do another scan).
5. Hooked it up and crossed my fingers
6. so far this is working way better than my real pansat, c_cheerl no freezing and the picture is sharper,crisper and clearer than the real one.
I've been running for over 3 hours now and it hasn't missed a beat.
So for those of you that have clones or don't know what you have, this worked for me. If you decide to do what I've done, you are on your own and I am not responsible if your unit craps out. But it worked for me and I'll update you later on it's performance. figured someones got to try it!
