Blindscan utility and clones

[mfaraj57]

Blindscan is new function supported by few original new images which has enigma 3.2 built in
Blindscan depends on:
1-drivers-at least original drivers 02092011
2-Tuner type Blindscan Support (Tuner: BCM4505, BCM4506, Alps BSBE1 C01A/D01A) .I tested blindscan in my dm800 but i got message Alps BSBE1 is not supported
3-Enigma: At least enigma 3.2 and this present in few images like nemesis 2.4 and official release 3.2
so the common question about blindscan and clones depends how could clone use the above three factors and most of clones could not use 1 and 3 from above requirements because they are protected against most of clones
Sim2 boxes as exception can use blindscan function because original drivers 2-9 and enigma3.2 are supported by sim2 boxes
other clone types like Ferrari and sim star could not use this good function because the above requirements are not available yet.

sorry if this is a daft question but i have never needed blindscan , can you tell us whats the benefit of blindscan is please mfaraj , or anybodyelse for that matter

just googled and a blind scan is a full deep scan with no parameters, apparently picks up everything on the sat

Normal scan as i understand usually scans the stored transponders in the satellite.xml file for the possible available channels but blindscan scans for all near frequencies from range 10700-12700 with changing different sympol rate and polarity so it takes long time to finish
This blindscan is more accurate and sensitive but it is slower than normal scan
just for example i scanned today nilesat by blindscan and normal scan ,1100 channels detected by blindscan while 950 detected by normal scan

is it with this blind scan that some peeps find these 'feeds'?
or is it just for scanning general channels?

both as it finds new txp,s on the tv sats and feeds/turnarounds on the ou birds like 10e. regards mdt

sorry to sound silly but what you mean by ou?

so if i got this plugin i'll be able to find feeds,
that would be wicked!

also consider that software based blindscan is far less accurate and takes a longer time to complete than dedicated hardware based blindscan. for example with my Uno which has hardware based blindscan a full scan of 28.2 east takes me just over 4 minutes, you can quadruple that at least for software based blindscans,

blindscan is built in new images that support enigma 3.2 and no need to download anything
to do blind scan just select manual scan and from second option select blindscan

The most effecient (and more expensive) way of finding new channels
(even if you do not have Blindscan) is to use a Spectrum Analyser.
You can then get all sort of information by sellecing the trnasponer peak and expanding it.
But this toy is not used by most of us and the good ones are expensive.



Cheaper ones are there but with less features.
