For owners of the Vu+ Duo2 with dual 2x S2 tuners, this request would be a beneficial addition and create a world selling point for the receiver. If multiple scanning capability is incorporated to the firmware. Example, if one is currently using.....

Tuner A = motorized Ku band dish
Tuner B = multiple stationary Ku band dishes controlled with cascaded switches
Tuner C = motorized C band dish
Tuner D = multiple stationary C band dishes controlled with cascaded switches

Using a GUI similar to the attached picture, it could be used to select the current tuner for scanning or to view actual scans in progress. A typical use with this setup would be to blind scan on tuners A and C while auto scanning on tuners B and D. A multi-tasking great time saver and increase receiver productivity!

World wide there are many, many sat viewers that have to utilize multiple receivers to accomplish this task. I am one of these users and I can tell you it is very time consuming and pia. Incorporating multi scanning to the Vu+ Duo2 would solve the problem of using and maintaining multiple receivers. It would also solve shelf space problems and make the wife happy. It would definitely categorize this as a green receiver.

The Vu+ Duo2 is all ready a class leader; it could be a world class leader.
