The Pansat 9200 HD FTA receiver is very popular among C-Band and Ku band FTA users. This new DVB-S2 8PSK sub-board allows users to tune into DVB-S2 (8PSK) commonly called MPEG 4 signals.

Installation of the DVB S2 8PSK module

• Remove the top cover of your Pansat 9200HD receiver with a Phillips screwdriver.
• Remove the "Tuner 2 IF Out" and "Tuner 2 IF In "cap from the back panel of the receiver.
• Make sure you are not carrying any static electricity by touching the chassis of your receiver for 2 seconds.
• Remove the tuner board from its anti-static bag.
• Install the adapter board to the tuner board and connect all supplied cables to that board.
• Tighten the tuner kit to the back panel of the receiver through the "IF Output" and "IF 2 Input (S2)" opening.
• The L shape of the board will make it firm and solid.
• Connect the power cable to the power supply (CN3 connector).
• Connect the data cables to the main circuit board of the 9200HD (CH6 and CH7 connectors)
• Connect the RF jumper cable to the IF Output and to the  IF2 (S2) Input  port on the back of the receiver.
• Install the cover on the receiver and tighten all screws.
• Turn on receiver. The DVB-S2 / 8PSK /Pilot ON option in the Advanced Satellite Scan menu will allow you to scan DVB-S2 / 8PSK transponders containing free-to-air programming.

Watching DVB S-2

At this writing only C-band is used for transmitting DVB-S-2.

 One should first maximize a few signals on this satellite. Two good frequencies to use are 3375 H 4444 3/4  Nebraska NET and 4080 V 32360 3/4 CBS feed in HD .

The set up is for  G26  3820 H 29125  3/4 . The tuner should be set for DVB S-2 /8PSK/Pilot ON. A manual scan yielded 28 Channels.

When using this product or for that matter ANY signal one rule applies--the stronger signal the better end result. One thing to make is that your dish must be aimed and tuned properly. Many c-band users have older equipment. It is essential that these old timers need to be checked and tuned. In many cases best results are obtained by upgrading the LNB and Feed. Over the years trees have grown taller so make sure you are clearing the trees if not get out the chainsaw !! Do all of this FIRST before you install the board.

This unit is not for the guy who wants to watch a little more TV. People using c-band dishes are serious feed hunters who like to use the Pansat 9200 because of the Blind Search capabilities of the machine. Please ensure that your c-band dish is well tuned, with current LNB's and feeds.

Having committed to the Pansat 9200 HD unit users will find the DVB S-2 board a useful accessory.
