I contacted GigaBlue support to see if blindscan could be fixed. here is their reply:

If you want to search for satellites, you can manually search for individual satellites and networks. This is exactly the same as blind search

I really believe GigaBlue is dumber than VuPlus. It is obvious neither one cares about their product as a fta receiver. At least VuPlus will tell you their blindscan is broken instead of claiming a manual search is the same as blindscan.

The GigaBlue UE I have been setting up will be going to a new home soon as I was never the intended owner. There are several different bugs in this receiver, but there is no reason to list them as there is no interest in fixing anything. After all, Blind Search and Manual Scan are the same thing....What a bunch of idiots!
