C/Ku band mixed systems blind scan workaround

    • C/Ku band mixed systems blind scan workaround

      As I explained before blind scan function does not work for the C band due to a silly bug that does not consider the use of a C band LNB and does not allow to change the scan limits, but ...........

      Thanks also to tha Dream Multimedia team help ...

      .... I have found a good workaroud to the problem simply modifing the two lines in the file:

      /usr/lib/engima2/python/Screens/ScanSetup.py

      in the following way:

      the following lines ...

      # blindscan sat
      self.scan_sat.bs_freq_start = ConfigInteger(default = 10700, limits = (10700, 12750))
      self.scan_sat.bs_freq_stop = ConfigInteger(default = 12750, limits = (10700, 12750))

      have to be modified in the following way ...

      # blindscan sat
      self.scan_sat.bs_freq_start = ConfigInteger(default = 10700, limits = (3400, 12750))
      self.scan_sat.bs_freq_stop = ConfigInteger(default = 12750, limits = (3400, 12750))

      When you perform blind scan in the Ku band there is substantially no difference. You have just to remember, if you want to select a different range, to select it within the 10700-12750 range.

      To scan in the C band you can now change the limits, since the firmware now allows the modification, by inserting values within the range 3400-4200.

      I still do not know what can happen if I wrongly select value outside the LNBs range.

      While I am still waiting for a new firmware this workaround is working well for mixed C/Ku band users.
