Just thought I'd start this sticky for and Optibox Anaconda questions that our members might have.

I'll start by asking if there is someway to have your channels sorted by satellite? I don't see a sat button on the remote.
 
I just figured out how to get your satellite list with the anaconda. Just by pressing FAV will bring in a list of all saved sats.
 
I have had my Anaconda for about a week now and have only come across one issue. When doing a blind scan the receiver can't seem to get by some of the encrypted tp and thus does not move on to finish the blind scan. I am using it on ku now that I have all c band sats and channels scanned in on it across my arc. My suggestion is that when performing a blind scan choose the option for all channels and not fta only which is the one I usually choose.
 
Also another suggestion when doing a blind scan with the anaconda- change auto to manual to increase the scan spped:

c band will default to 3700-4200(there are several sats where it should start at 3600)

ku band will default at 9750-12750- I change it to 11700-12200 unless I'm scanning a sat with universal tp.
 
I do not think 3700-4200 are the automatic default scan parameters because my Raptor finds transponders below 3700 during a blind scan without me changing anything. 3700 and 4200 are the high/low defaults that you will see when switching from auto to manual. But I do believe the whole range of the c band lnb is being scanned in auto. Double check me on this. EB
 
Yes that's correct EB, its scan starts at 3000. When I mentioned default 3700-4200 is when its switched out of auto. I also noticed on a scan of Telstar12 at 15w that the blind scan got stuck on tp 11860 so I had to stop it. When I attempted this tp again on manual all channels scanned in once I changed it from dvb to dvb-s2 and 8psk.
 
Scanning issues have been reported and sent off for review, I'm told any issues will be fixed.

Going by what they have done for us so far I no reason to doubt this at all.
 
There are no provisions to set diseqc 1.2 positions. These are automatically set in the receiver depending on which satellite you choose. Hopefully they will give us the option to change the diseqc 1.2 positions as we see fit.
 
Not a question about the Anaconda, itself, but the plug. Any ideas where to pick up the European to NA adapter? I would take the one off of the S-9 but I have been married for almost 35 years and I know better than to mess with my wifes TV for the evening.
 
I bought one the other day at The Source EC. The adapter says compatible for Central and South America and costs about $10.
 
Called all but one store in town and they had no idea what I was even talking about. One guy even had the nerve to tell me that there is no such animal so I went to town and the last electronics store. Showed him the plug and he took a box off the wall with adapter for EU, UK and AU to NA. Now let the fun begin.
