    Blind Scanning .... Does it work..?

    Can anyone confirm if Blind Scanning works on this box.

    I've tried a few different times on different SATS and run the Blind Scan, and I always get the same Error message at the end saying No transponders were found with those parameters?

    I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if it just doesn't work?

    Looking at the Original Guide on Vix Manual, is says about having the option to put in a Start and End Frequency, as well as all the rest of the Parameters, I can only seem to have the options of

    H V etc, and Symbol rate.

    So I'm not sure if this is no longer supported or maintained?

    Looks like something is broken in the plugin. I check it out later.

    And, yes, it is a plugin.

    This is what I get when the scan is in Progress.

    BlindScanning.JPG

    So is that the correct place I was in, or should it appear under the Plugins section?
    I've only been back to using an E2 Box for a few months, and never have had it working so far (ie the last few updates) I couldn't get it to work either..

    Like Huevos says, you would need to install the plugin. He will advise I'm sure as this is his area.

    with your photos above you are scanning 28.2??

    the error is on a different sat?

    i presume a motorised or multi lnbs in use and not just a fixed dish at 28.2?

    Yes sorry that probably confused things.
    Initial Screen shots were on 28.2E

    The Blind Scan I actually run was on 7E.

    I still get the same Error regardless of what sat I scan on.

    Tuner A is Motor
    Tuner B is Fixed on 28.2E

    DVB-S/S2 Blindscan has been broken in Broadcom Tuner A of the OS Mini for a long time. Could blindscan in the OS Mega tuner be broken too?

    Just as a reminder, blindscan only supports 3 lnb types, or these l.o. frequencies.
    Universal (9750/10600)
    Circular (10750)
    C band (5150)
    I doubt blindscan would work correctly with Unicable, or other lnb types besides these three.

    Maybe I've miss understood.

    I thought with my set-up and Blindscan working, I could just do a Blind Scan on either 28.2E and find any missing transponders, the same with 7E 9E and 10E for feeds?

    Have I missed something?

    I don't understand why the box is not showing start and stop frequencies. On Vu Solo4k...
