Is this correct: No blind scan

[airgator96]

Is there no blind scan with the pc receiver?

Skystar2 version 2.3 with two different people's software. Blind scan a whole satellite in 60 seconds. Only with card version 2.3, also need drivers earlier then 4.4.0

thanks for the reply

I did a "google" is Skystar2 version 2.3 software... that works with twinhan pci card

There is a "blind scan" app for the twinhan cards, but it takes a day or so for one sat, not really useful.

Slave it to your standard set top box.

Here is a list of full feature DVB cards as well as budget DVB cards…use this list to help you find what operating system supports the DVB PCI or USB card you own…all cards that have Linux support also have some features that are sought after by the FTA community such as “blind scan”…there verity of open license programs under Linux that support “blind scan”. I am not sure if this is a good place for this, PSB/Iceberg can check and move or create a new thread if required...this topic seems to be in demand...

I have emailed tech support for the DVB World USB box and asked about Linux driver, they emailed back they would have their engineers look into developing those drivers. So perhaps, one day for the DVB World box.

Timmy,

I would still check out the Linux forums I am sure someone has already written a driver for DVB World USB box...from what I read anything that is USB is already compatible with Linux…it is a matter of finding a program that has all the features you would like to have in your system.

just trying to learn for future options/setups
thanks

What he was saying was to just have a set to box that WILL blind scan, do the blind scan, then put the info into the pc card.

Most PC cards do not blind scan, a VERY nice feature of the set top boxes, but most set top boxes will not do 4:2:2 or HD, a VERY nice feature of the PC cards.

Without blind scan, you miss a lot of feeds, games, etc.

thanks TIMMY,, but i dont get how it can share the blindscan

 

[voomvoom]

It doesn't share the blindscan. The STB will do the blindscan, and then you get the #'s (results from blindscan) from the STB and type them into the PC (to store them) and then do a scan with the PC card.

Hi jerryt

I'm blindscanning on a 2.3P with drivers 4.4.0

Hi jerryt

I'm blindscanning on a 2.3P with drivers 4.4.0

How are you Blindscanning with drivers 4.4.0? That would be pretty cool.

 

[bid0n]

Well just like that
with either altrxo or BxS apps seems to be working for me...
But since i've just got my 2.3P last week i'm still very much experimenting with it. I don't know if it'd be fast with <4.4.0
newbie to blindscanning actually.

anyway i've mailed BxS about this, last update of his app 4.4.0 wasn't out yet so he wasn't aware of it

BxS had said he was going to rewrite the software for the 4.4.0 drivers. I never tried either Blind Scan software after going to the 4.4.0 drivers. Keep us informed of how it works, I may revert back to 4.28 drivers sometime.

The thing that has stopped me from seriously looking into "downgrading" to the SKystar 2 v2.3 from my 2.6 is that the latest version of TSReader claims to require the 4.4.0 drivers and the blind scan software for v2.3 is all written for pre 4.4.0.

It would be fabulous if the 4.4.0 drivers work with blindscan s/w. Then I could go shopping

 

[bid0n]

Well i don't mind giving further feedback, but i'm not sure it would be very accurate information as, as i said, i'm only starting to use it so I don't know exactly how it's supposed to behave. But what prevents you, jerryt, from running BxS on the 4.4.0 drivers?
BxS said he might get a new version at some point but he's been a bit busy

 

[Trevorm7]

Hmm, The only driver I used for blindscan was 4.4, maybe it would work better if I went lower? Because I miss some stuff unless I put the delay all the way to 1000ms, that makes it take too long.

 

[bid0n]

which blindscan application are you using trevorm7?
