    thanks
    Hi Dreamuser, Tuner 801A is not capable of doing a BLIND scan. It is not made for that job. Try to make a list of frequencies which you are not recieving. Try to do a manual scan ( a test for 4 frequencies from the list)
    Then see whether your box has included these 4 new frequencies. The result will give you an indication about
    the capability of the box to add frequencies via manual scan.
    GOOD LUCK buddy.

    It is worth doing that test.
