Why do you have to blindscan these satellites? Is the information for the channels published, or do you have to hunt for channels like we do in the U.S.? Is it possible to take the channel or transponder information from the 5 other receivers and transfer it to the Duo2?
If the 6 receivers (5 + the Duo2) do not work together using universal lnbs, why will they work together using a 10700 lnb?
Yes my friend I have a very complicated system and I like feed hunting and if it wasn't for my paid version of EBS Pro I would partly be in the shit although my collection of Openboxes that use a local oscillator set at 10700 or even Universal ALL of them blind scan correctly.
See the duo2 being such a great box is the boss and the rest of the Openboxes the S9,S10,S16 and AZBox , UltraPlus are secondary boxes but how the system works is I have the duo2 going to a 8 port DISEqC switch and each input of the DISEqC switch goes to a Spaun multiSwitch and each of the two outputs of the Multiswitch goes to a twin LNB so by this you can see that the Duo2 can go via a DISEqC switch to a Multiswitch and then to the dish and we have pictures. NOW!! That is Sat input 1 on the Duo2. The Second input on the duo2 copies the same as the First.
Now all the other receivers have there own DISEqC switch either a 4 porter or an 8 porter DISEqC SW and there cables run back and connect to any of the 10 Plus multi switches I have and by having this system like this I can sit in my lounge room with multiple monitors on all on Different channels watching all of them at the same time and if I like one it takes me a second to send it to my hundred inch screen in the middle. Now the Duo2 Controls my motorized (DISEqC 1.2) dish via a VBOX and with all of this after some initial niggling problems the entire system ran like clockwork until I introduce the UNIVERSAL setting on the duo2 for the one and only reason and that is to utilize this Expensive box and give it the ability to blind scan ku and Cband (well on this image Cband will not work at all) but after giving the Duo2 a Universal setting so blind scan would work it forced me to change all other boxes to Universal (9750-10600) and this is where the problem started.
The Problem
If I leave the Duo2 turned off, turn on ALL OTHER BOXES with there new Universal setting and new Universal LNB's all works perfect UNTIL I tun on the Duo2 as when the Duo2 is turned on the Duo2 the Openboxes and other all start to misbehave as in Pixalating, the Channel locks up on and off the channel on one box disappears after you change channel, they all again misbehave and when I turn the Duo2 off all are ok so work that out.
Now I have noticed that for a example the Openboxs have 4 Universal settings being 9750-10550, 9750-10600, 9750-10700, 9750-10750 for these and other boxes I have selected 9750-10600 but for the duo2 it has only Universal so since it has only one Universal which one of the 4 is it. I do understand that possibly using the Setting USER DEFINE you could select any of the 4 above but have not tried this.
As for your above question of taking the blind scan info from the Openboxes and transferring it to a manual update to the Duo2 yes this is one way I have been doing it but my computer room is set for ALL blind scanning via EBS Pro and use SmartDVB and DVB Dream to do what I want in the computer room.
The Logic behind this issue
Well I have a great collection of Openboxes and soon I will be buying a Openbox V8 and all they have cost me is around $80 each and they blind scan correctly either on 10700 or Universal yet the Masterpiece the Duo2 that cost me a arm and a leg by the time I got it into Australia and I feel embarrassed to say that it fails in the most wanted option being the Blind scanning but saying that this this could be possible fixed by changing to another image ( but I like BH images) or trying BH Open image.
OOO Well Time for a rest now, will have to scratch my head on what do I have to do to get the Duo2 to blind scan correctly and leave it on 10700 like the other boxes or even Universal without pissing the other boxes off.
