How to Add a Channel to the Pansat 3500
Most satellite providers charge a monthly premium to obtain any desired station. The price varies, but typically the more stations you receive, the more you pay. However, with free-to-air satellite receivers, you obtain unscrambled signals directly from a satellite, without paying any sort of fee. The Pansat 3500 is one such receiver. In order to add additional stations to the receiver's memory bank, you need to upload the latest receiver service files (.bin files) to the device.
