Hey, thank you for your reply.
I wouldn't like to move to ViX yet as I really like one of VTI skins a lot
I would really appreciate it though if you explain as to how could I modify the VTI-Blindscan app in order to scan the C-Band satellites?
Greetings.
That is like saying you are going to stick with a dodgy girlfriend because you like her coat.I wouldn't like to move to ViX yet as I really like one of VTI skins a lot
Why would you want to modify that crap plugin when there is a brilliant blindscan plugin that works properly in C and Ku bands. And doesn't have those stupid number fields and all the other problems.

It's not that really ... y'see, I worked really hard to modify that infobar skin I'm using,
Could I still use it with ViX? If yes, then I could give it a try
It has been about 3 years or more since I put a c/ku blindscan plugin in Viti or BlackHole.
The big question is: Can you transfer files to the box using FileZilla or similar file transfer program ?

Yes, I do use FileZilla for my Duo².
It used to be fairly easy to make OE blindscan plugin work in Vti. Not anymore, or Not Today.

As you can see, I got the plugin to install, but it would not find any transponders for C band. There is too many issues for me to mess with on this one.
Your only other Good option would be to import a channel list that has C band channels in it. IMO, your Best option will be to not use VTi because it does not support c band blindscan. Their loss, your gain.
Oh, this screenshot looks good ... freq rage is perfect ... I could never come this far with the blindscan app on VTI.
Hey ...
I've just installed ViX and tried out Blindscan for C-Band, but it doesnt find any transpoder, it says !
Manually, it finds though.
Post some screenshots of what happens in OpenVix c band blindscan.
well it basically the same config as your screenshot (3600-4200 Mhz, etc) ... result = No transponders were found.
I have tried out now OpenPli, OpenSpa, OpenATA ... all of them have the same result.
I wonder BLINDSCAN really works for C-band on Enigma2 at all !
C-band works fine in Blindscan. It was me that wrote that part of the plugin.
What tuners do you have installed? What receiver? What dish size? What LNB? What is the L.O.F. of the LNB? What satellite are you trying to scan.
Hey, thank you for your reply. The details as follows:
VU+ Duo²
Tuner : D (for C-Band / 76.5E)
Dish Size : 240cm Mesh
LNB : C-Band
LOF : C-Band
more info in the attached screenshots ...
As already explained second tuner of AVL6222 does not work properly for blindscan. Returns empty scans.
You will not get VTi plugin working in C-band without a major rewrite.
TBH the plugin is crap. And not user friendly. Just look at the frequency entry. Completely meaningless to a human being. Who writes this rubbish?
