[Proximator]

I use plugin Blindscan. Work very vell, but i dont know how it use for C-band. Which parameters need?

Don't touch the parameters in the blind scan. leave them as there are. I had the same problem but fixed it by not selecting CBand in the main menu. I'm away from my TV room at the moment but use the User Definded setting I think 09750 10600 11700. Yes set it at that and blind scan should be ok. Well at least it was on Black Hole 2.1.0 on the Duo2
Read my other post it explains a little better (can't post link, Not allowed)

By default settings no find C-band transporters.

From other forum

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))

Yes its very odd isn't it what you have to do to get the box to blind scan

 

[el bandido]

Odd is not the word I was thinking of because there is C/Ku blind scan available in other Duo2 images. I am Very Surprised that Black Hole has not adopted a better blind scan.

You should know that BH images are based on Official Vu+ SDK. Other images uses other SDK and there should be a different Blind Scan plugin.

 

[el bandido]

I do not understand.
Official Vu+cannot adapt what others are using?
It hurts bad no tto have c band blind scan here in the States.

@el bandido : Could you try this?
Connect to box by ftp.
Overwrite plugin.py from attached file and delete plugin.pyo in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/Blindscan, reboot.
Thanks.

PS: It's original plugin with low limits corrected only. Let me know if it works.

I suggest to write directly to Vu+ via www.vuplus.com and open a support request. If you have tech infos for Vu+ Dev team, attach to your inquiry.

 

[el bandido]

Thanks for the modification!
I will try this later in the evening if time permits.

I have written to www.vuplus.com many times and have never gotten any kind of response from them. I will remember this the next time I am in the market for a premium receiver. The quad tuner Duo2 may be my last Vu+ product due to lack of interest from the manufacturer.
The Duo2 has been and still is the best fta receiver that I have ever owned, but I have never had a receiver manufacturer ignore all of my email contacts or attempts to communicate Vu+ has.

Usually, the Dev team reads every mail but some of these haven't a reply.
Most of mine I've sent haven't a reply but they have been fixed most of bugs I've reported.

The C band plugin fix does not scan any channels. I have C band on tuner C, and will try moving it a bit later to tuner A. I am thinking the Blackhole Blindscan plugin may only support one tuner. I may try making some other adjustments too.

Every fix you can do is very appreciated and should be sent directly to Vu+ and they implement it into official Blindscan plugin.
Thanks for your interest and passion

I'll check deeply, thanks for testing .

@el bandido : Can you tell me, what values are you entering in Blindscan plugin?

"In a C-Band antenna setup, the transmission frequencies are typically 3.7-4.2 GHz. By using a local oscillator frequency of 5.150 GHz the IF will be 950-1450 MHz which is, again, in the receiver's IF tuning range."

 

[el bandido]

I will show you in screenshots. I apologize for not doing this earlier. Give me a bit to get them on this site.

This image shows the default settings for the C Band blindscam


These are the settings that I think are correct and should work.


I get the "cannot import name and box type" error when I install a c/ku blindscan from another image.


Access for the c/ku blindscan plugin will be in the Service Searching menu. I think the c/ku blindscan will run on the Black Hole image once the import name and box type issues are resolved.

 

[paolino]

@el bandido : Post here, please, c/ku blindscan file from another image.
Thank you.
