    I am going to post a few common satellite blind scan times. I will be scanning all channels in the scan, 1st up is 97w Ku where it took 1 minute 33 seconds. This scanned in 280 tv channels where some were encrypted with 175 radio channels. I am not sure if this is a good time or not but there are no special options for the blind scan. This receiver tends to find much more channels on average than the Openbox S9.

    Next satellite is 125w Ku: 2 minutes 52 seconds. Scanning in all of the PBS channels available and the encrypted mux.

    83W C band: 1 minute 26 seconds scanning in 3 channels.

    123w Ku: 2 minutes 41 seconds (Scopus net tech seems to slow this one down some) managed to scan in FSTV with a 1784SR

    91W Ku: 3 minutes 20 seconds. I scanned in 9 wild feeds. This was in Free mode, I have a huge signal from Bell that interferes with this.

    Sometimes the receiver will have polarity problems when blind scanning and for instance on 91W ku it will scan in a channel on both polarities. Not sure if this is an LNB problem or the receiver.
