[VU+ Solo2] What is the latest info on 'blind scan'?

[sandiego69]

Blind scan is in the Vix feeds but I get errors when attempting to download. Does blind scan work in OpenVix or is it still being developed?

Hi,
my last Info is 4 month old and VU+ had to ask Broadcom if it is possible at all.

ciao

From next build on (i.e. 731) blindscan will be pre-installed on the Solo2.

Background: when we discovered (months ago) that the Solo2 didn't support blindscan, we decided to leave out the blindscan plugin. VU+ told us to look into this (driver related) issue.
As we're not 100% sure atm if blindscan is actually supported, we decided to embed the plugin again, so we can all try and see.

Blind scan still not working im on latest 742. Its looking for something and cant find it so it just don't install.

The Solo2 still doesn't support blindscan. As this is a driver issue there is nothing we can do about it. We asked VU[SUP]+[/SUP] (again) about it, but got no reply at all.

I should have reported this earlier, sorry about that.

Solo2 support blindscan or not cuz i bay it for that thanks

 

[Rob van der Does]

Yes, the Solo2 does support blindscan (and does a better (although slower) job than any other VU-box).

ViX does not need a plugin for blindscan, receivers that support blindscan have the functionality built rite into the image it self.

thank you for the reply. would someone kindly explain to me how i scan for a feed using vix 3.0 build 808 on a solo2 without a blindscan. using this as an example:

Intelsat 905 (24.5°W)
Fréquence: 11047 - Pol: H - SR: 13330 - FEC: -
Catégorie: Sport - Courses auto/moto
Transmis en: MPEG-4

Thanks

If you wish to use blindscan with this receiver you need a newer more up to date image.

ViX works well with blindscan for the solo2 but it needs a newer image than the one you have quoted in your post with newer drivers etc, ViX 3.0 is simply too old a image for this to work, the same is true of all images, you need one that is upto date with current drivers not a old image.

 

[lfc84]

ah, right, i understand. so im in vix apollo territory...?

 

[Larry-G]

yes update to Apollo and you should be fine.

 

[lfc84]

im running appollo3

why does the solo2 only allow me to enter between 3000 and 4199 Mhz (c-band) on the blind scan screen for 10E in the "scan start frequency" and "scan stop frequency" ?

i want to scan 11296 V 14400 on 10E

thanks

 

[lfc84]

here's a screenshot showing the issue

other sats allow scan start frequency between 10700 and 12749
