Announce DVB-C Blindscan Support for Sundtek DVB-C Tuners

[sundtek]

Today we updated our drivers to support Hardware Blind Scan for DVB-C (and also DVB-T - but no image is utilizing this feature for DVB-T at the moment).

Since we just figured out that the blindscan modification is also in OpenVIX those who own a Sundtek MediaTV Pro III or Sundtek MediaTV Digital Home Tuner should be able to find all DVB-C channels with the automatic scan with OpenVIX.

This finally should solve all the troubles finding all DVB-C channels.


If you have any trouble with blindscan let us know!


Images which are currently known to support blindscan:
* OpenPLI
* OpenVIX

Dream Multimedia also allows to add hardware blindscan for our tuners support to their settopboxes (those updates are currently pending for the next days).

Few more Images have been tested:
* VTI also already supports Blindscan
* Blackhole needs a patch (3 lines of code, http://sundtek.de/support/blackhole_sundtek_blindscan.diff )

Correction VTI not OpenVTI

You're right my bad .. it should only be VTI :smash:

Two more are in the list for automatic channel search support for DVB-C with our tuners:
