Hey everyone,
Several days ago when it was mentioned that Doc Scott changed PIDS, I noticed that he is on IA6. I thought that is odd, I have never seen him before. So using the information that Iceberg posted, I added it manually with no problems. The problem is that during a blind scan, it never picks it up! I have noticed the same with other channels and other sats, makes me wonder what I might be missing out on. I'm not sure why it won't add it during a blind scan. I have a Coolsat 4000 Pro. Thanks!
 
Some channels will just never be found using BLIND SCAN and can only be entered manually : (
 
are you sure it didnt maybe pick up the frequency but off by 1 or two?

Doc is at 11865 V 3515 but my receiver picks it up on 11864.

But as PSB noted, some just won't pick up on a blind scan and have to be manually entered
 
When I entered it manually, I used 11865.

I forgot to mention that it did pick it up a couple of times during a blind scan after I had added it manually. And yes that was after deleting all channels before doing the blind scan. So that seemed kinda strange to me. But that only happened a couple of times, after that it hasn't picked it up again.

By the way I'm watching right now, and he is sitting in front of a blue screen, wearing a blue shirt... good one!! Whenever any video comes up "behind" him it looks like it is showing right through his chest. :D
