    You just copy the plugin.py file to...
    /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/Blindscan

    Restart the box, then delete the file.

    That is the closed source binary. That is the bit that communicates between the plugin and the tuner.

    Well Just doing a Scan on 28.2E
    On the 1st Screen I had the Option to select a Start and End Frequency, but on the next screen when it starts scanning they are different (not the full range selected)

    I'm guessing that it's not going to work?

    I'm guessing it's not working as the Mini TV bit is still showing a Live Picture.
    If this was scanning the Live TV bit would be Blank

    Unless it's using the 2nd Tuner?

    What is not going to work? The info screen shows what it is currently scanning... and it is using the tuner you selected. If it doesn't return a proper result it is because the driver supplied by the manufacturer is broken.

    What I meant was, I have an Active scan going on 28.2E.
    On the mini TV next to where the scan is going, it still showing Live TV (BBC ONE HD)
    If it's still showing the live TV Picture, it can't be scanning can it?

    Was scanning Tuner A (motor.)
    When scanning should it start building a list of Transponders it's found, or does it just do that at the end?

    It's finished now but not Transponders Found.

    Going to Try on Fixed Tuner Now (now Tuner C)

    Yes it does build a list but it is not displayed. The found transponders are listed in the xml file in the /tmp folder. But if you get a message, "no transponders found" it won't find channels. If so test again using the other tuner.

    Switch on debug logs and post the logs here.

    Well Tuner C run through very Quickly.

    FixedTunerC.jpg

    SO that looks like it worked?
    So Maybe I'll need to Make Tuner C the Motor Cable, and Scan that way.

    Right.

    Trying Again on Tuner A on 7E this time.
    I think when I scanned on 28.2E on tuner A dish was still on 13E and Live picture was from fixed Tuner.


    Now I've moved dish to 7E on working channel.
    Started the Scan
    Live Picture has stopped

    So Looks like it is scanning now, but it's no where near as fast as when it done a scan on 28.2E

    New7EScan With Logs.jpg
    Forgot to Switch on Debug Logs.
    So starting again.


    Here is the Scan in progress.
    (notice the Frequency range isn't the same again)

    On 2/4
    The Frequency now seems to have the full range selected.

    Perhaps I've never paid that much attention to it, I'm sure it never done the HiBand before.

    Ok, just so you know how it works...
    Select the tuner, then the satellite, then if it is a motorised dish give the dish time to orientate itself towards the satellite before starting the scan, otherwise the scan will start before the dish reaches the satellite.
