Panafix2D filter

Some Panasonic Sky Digiboxes exhibit the following symptoms:

"No Satellite Signal .." message when ITV or BBC (and other Astra 2D programmes) are selected. This is usually intermittent and can be cured by flicking up and down the channels and always by momentarily disconnecting the LNB cable at the tuner "F" connector behind the Digibox. This kit is for the TU-DSB30, 31, 35 and 40. It will definitely NOT fit non-Panasonic receivers.

The SatCure Panafix2D Filter will cure these symptoms and is easy to fit with just 3 wires to solder. If these are not your symptoms then the filter is unlikely to help. See catalogue page 12.

Models affected: TU-DSB30, TU-DSB31, TU-DSB35, TU-DSB40 (later models unknown).

IMPORTANT

Before ordering a filter, you MUST carry out these tests:

When "No satellite Signal.." message appears, disconnect the LNB cable at the tuner "F" connector behind the Digibox then reconnect it. Make sure that the picture and sound appear within 30 seconds.

Take your Digibox to the house of a friend or relative (or a shop with testing facilities) and make sure it works (cold and fully warmed-up) correctly on all channels with a different LNB. This proves that your receiver is not faulty.

Borrow a Sky Digibox (not Panasonic) and connect it to your LNB. Make sure it works (cold and fully warmed-up) correctly on all channels. This proves that your installation (dish, LNB, cable) is not faulty.

If all three tests are OK then our filter should cure your problem. Otherwise, it shouldn't.

Happy Customers

I have been complaining to Sky digital about the problem with reception of BBC2 & ITV1 (channels 102 and 103) on my Panasonic digibox for weeks now. (I missed two Formula 1 Grand Prix and I was fuming!). Their technical support department were either completely unaware of the PANAFIX2D device or they were lying to me.

There must be thousands of people with the Panasonic TU-DSB30, the least Sky could do is put a notice of the problem in their customer magazine with your web address. I suggest that you badger them to do so !

Just a quick note to say thanks for the brilliant service. I ordered a panafix from you yesterday (Monday) and it arrived today. Within 30 mins of getting home, the unit was installed in my TU-DSB20 and has solved all of my reception problems.

Well done!

Wanted to let you know you have another satisfied customer. The filter I ordered arrived in only 3 days (amazing when a letter usually takes 2 weeks to get here). I'm not great with a soldering iron (I think it's a great success when I pick up the cold end!) but it only took me half an hour to fit including drilling a hole for the LED. My Panasonic TUDSB30 now receives all Astra 2D channels perfectly, using an 80cm dish here in Holland. 20 quid (inc. VAT & fast delivery) well-spent! The only question I have now is why Panasonic can't make a Digibox that works in the first place...

Thanks, David

Just thought I'd let you know.....

I bought mine last week for my TU DSB31, followed the instructions and it works a treat.

No more annoying "No Satellite Signal" messages. Thanks by the way for the quick delivery service.

Just to say thanks for producing such a great product. It has saved me a load of cash. Really easy to install and all the channels are finally working.

Dear Martin,

Panafix2D for my Panasonic TUDSB31 was delivered today after my weekend enquiry. I installed it this morning. I am a no magician with a soldering iron but installation was easy thanks to instructions and the fix actually works. So thank you, not for the first time, for your good service and advice.

Hello Martin,

SUCCESS!! The filter works perfectly, as advertised. The red light comes on and stays on whenever any of the previously missing channels are selected. Many thanks for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Gary Dyson

It works a treat

Many thanks

Good evening,

The filter that you designed works perfectly, and I am reasonably useful with a soldering iron.

Thanks for the email to let me know about the design change. I wasn't aware that there was a cure for the Astra/Panasonic problem until I stumbled upon your site virtually by accident. I am sure that there must be thousands of Sky Digital viewers with Panasonic boxes in a similar position.

Thanks again,

Adrian

LUG - Oxford dictionary:

2. "Projection on an object by which it may be carried, fixed in place etc."

In this case, any metal projection on the tuner module.

"Tag", "tab", "terminal", "finger", "projection", "clip"..

(Sorry but I was born in the North East where "lug" was the only word to use!)

Please DO NOT send SatCure your receiver for repair!
