    I use user defined lnd settings
    Lolo 10750
    Lohi 10750
    Threshold 11700 or 12200 makes no difference.
    polarization
    tone off

    Use what you want, but the blindscan plugin is coded for Circualr to be used with a 10750 L.O. lnb. That is why your threshold settings makes no difference in a blindscan. The thresholds that are in the plugin overrides it.

    Default star/stop frequencies can be set to whatever you want in the blindscan plugin. My defaults are set to 11700 and 12225 as seen here:
    self.scan_sat = ConfigSubsection()
    self.scan_networkScan = ConfigYesNo(default = False)
    self.blindscan_circular_band_start_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 11700, limits = (11700, 12749))
    self.blindscan_circular_band_stop_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 12225, limits = (11701, 12750))
    self.blindscan_C_band_stop_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 4200, limits = (3001, 4200))
    self.blindscan_stop_symbol = ConfigInteger(default = 45, limits = (1, 65))
    I added some extra lines so my defaults automatically change for satellites over the Atlantic.
    if orb < 2990:
    self.blindscan_Ku_band_start_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 11700, limits = (10700, 12749))
    self.blindscan_Ku_band_stop_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 12250, limits = (10701, 12750))
    self.blindscan_C_band_start_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 3700, limits = (3000, 4199))
    if orb >= 2989:
    self.blindscan_Ku_band_start_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 10700, limits = (10700, 12749))
    self.blindscan_Ku_band_stop_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 12750, limits = (10701, 12750))
    self.blindscan_C_band_start_frequency = ConfigInteger(default = 3400, limits = (3000, 4199))
    You can set this stuff up anyway you want. Simply open the blindscan .py file and modify it to your liking.

    I think you are right thuogh the blind scan >xml shows 11550 when it really did start at 11700. Better leave the start frequency 11700 then.
    That is why it was faster because it started the scan at 11850.
    Thanks!

    It would also be a good idea to use the correct lnb settings in Tuner configuration too.
    Enigma2 NimManager defines Circular lnb as a 10750 l.o. Only C band and Circular lnb types are defined in the blindscan plugin. So the default in the blindscan plugin is universal lnb, and that is what the blindscan plugin will use unless the plugin "sees" a C band or Circular lnb type!

    Here is where the blindscan plugin defines lnb types:
    def SatBandCheck(self) :
    pos = self.getOrbPos()
    band = 'Unknown'
    self.is_c_band_scan = False
    self.is_circular_band_scan = False
    self.is_Ku_band_scan = False
    self.is_user_defined_scan = False
    self.suggestedPolarisation = _("vertical & horizontal")
    if band == "Unknown" and self.isLNB(pos, "c_band"):
    band = 'C'
    self.is_c_band_scan = True
    self.suggestedPolarisation = _("vertical & horizontal")
    if band == "Unknown" and self.isLNB(pos, "circular_lnb"):
    band = 'circular'
    self.is_circular_band_scan = True
    self.suggestedPolarisation = _("circular right & circular left")
    if band == "Unknown" and self.isLNB(pos, "universal_lnb"):
    band = 'Ku'
    self.is_Ku_band_scan = True
    if band == "Unknown" and self.isLNB(pos, "user_defined"):
    band = 'user_defined'
    self.is_user_defined_scan = True
    # if satellites.xml didn't contain any entries for this satellite check
    # LNB type instead. Assumes the tuner is configured correctly for C-band.
    print "[Blind scan] SatBandCheck band = %s" % (band)
    .

    I don't Know I did a blind scan 91w KU using circular found 5 Transponders 11 CH. then back to user defined found 8 Transponders 13 CH. Maybe some transponders came online during the second scan but anyway the frequencies are right both settings.

    Did some more blind scans. Circular settings are working good so left if set circular. I maybe still having some diseqc hicups some scans still find more and some less but some of those signals are weak with just a 30" dish.
