Optibox Anaconda HD

I made a mistake earlier. I do not see anything with a symbol rate below 2000 that I scanned on SatMex6, not SatMex5 as I said earlier.

My C band transponder list for SatMex 5 at 116.8 shows several transponders that were scanned with a symbol rate of less than 2000. Sorry for the confunsion on this earlier.

The transponders that scan in as a 999 symbol rate can be found on SatMex5 KU. I scanned these in a few minutes ago and I have attached a picture of the blind scan in progress. EB

EB, those are the transponders on Satmex 5 ,
All of them are active. I found them with my Vantage 1100, and the Ferguson Ariva100e( this is similar to the openbox).

If you could, try to preform a blindscan and see if your raptor will lock on them.

EB, how long does the blindscan take on Satmex 5? Mine takes about 15 min. On each transponder.

[el bandido]

SatMex 5 takes longer than most. I would guess between 5 and 10 minutes to blind scan this satellite. you are taking longer than that to scan one transponder.

Have you tried deleting ALL of your transponders before you scan?

[satcrazy]

It took 15 min. To scan one transponder. I deleted all frequencies before the scan.

If it took you 5 to 10 min. To scan the whole satellite , then something is wrong! That's about the average time for most of the satellites that I scan( I am talking about 15 min. For just one transponder). Do you think that the raptor has a faster processor?

[el bandido]

The raptor is supposed to be faster in some areas, but I do not think blind scan is supposed to be one of them.
if it takes 15 minutes to scan one transponder, how long does it take to scan all of SatMex 5 c band?

I do not get a signal on some of the transponders you have listed. My c band dish is an old 7.5 footer. It does not get everything that is available on SatMex 5 c band.

Takes a while. I am waiting for vip3r to evaluate his anaconda, I wonder if he also has tha same issue with his receiver .

[rrob311]

A good test is the 1562sr channels on Galaxy 16 cband. There are a few Mexican locals on that bird. I would be impressed if this receiver scans them all in. Another good test is FSTV on 123Ku.

[satcrazy]

It only locks it manually. I hope other anaconda users provide feedback. If this is a software issue, hopefully it will be addressed and fixed.

[el bandido]

FSTV Is no problem for my Raptor.
But I do not get any signal on the Galaxy 16 1562 SR channels. I do not know if the problem is my dish, location, or receiver.

Takes a while. I am waiting for vip3r to evaluate his anaconda, I wonder if he also has tha same issue with his receiver .

Hey satcrazy.. Keep in mind my post above number 26.. I'm out of the loop at the moment. So I can't test this for you at the moment.

As far as I know the Raptor and Anaconda should scan just the same..If this is a software problem. We have been promised full support and if something needs fixed I believe it will be.

Take note of the NTSC boot fix, we asked and they delivered.

This is a very good thing..
