Blind scan

[captain jack]

Hi,

Does the Uno have blind scan option on the VIX image? I read it's available on Black Hole but I've grown very much accustomed to the VIX and don't want to change.... :confused:

Is there a plug in available for this?

Thanks
CJ

It's added in the next version, so if you can hang on for release ;)

[captain jack]

Oh yes, I can :D What's the ETA?

Same as always ... it comes when it comes ;)

[captain jack]

I guess I'll wait.... :smash: :baby:

Hehe, no time tables here. It will be soon. But how soon? And whatever how soon, it's always too late :D
And: the longer you wait, the better it tastes!

Just curious. What exactly is a blind scan? Is this used for feed hunters.

yeah pretty much. it allows you to fully scan a satellite without the need for a satellites.xml file thus picking up transponders or feeds that are not otherwise listed in the epg etc.

And is this not already available n the VIX image? That's what I thought all those random useless channels that came in on a scan were. Guess not lol. Omg that would take forever to scan would it? Lol

[Larry-G]

those numbered channels are channels like the BBCI feeds and others as they are listed on the satellite. as for the time it takes to do a blindscan, on the Uno i have timed a full blindscan of 28.2 east at around or just under 4 minutes at least a dozen times.

:O 4mins lol my duo I had was taking nearly 30mins just to bring in sly channels. I thought that was normal. Now it seems like forever lol I would have thought to scan the entire sat would have taken longer.

well on my old DM7020 it used to take easily 25 minutes to do a regular scan of 28.2 east but i did a few tests a couple of weeks ago using a Uno / dm600 x2 tm600's and the dm7020 and all did a full normal scan of 28.2 east in under 5 minutes with almost exactly the same number of channels received, and the blindscan on the uno was even faster than the normal scan.

[captain jack]

I guess it depends on the tuner and the Uno has hardware support for blind search.
