Lots of good thoughts. Everything is more complicated than it may seem. The reason I missed this feature is that multiple satellite (configurable) blind scan was available on my little Geosatpro microHD that I bought over 10 years ago. So I got used to using that feature.

As for the satellites.xml file, I can provide a copy of mine if it's ever needed. I recently edited it using TS-Satellites Editor based on current lyngsat listings for both C- and Ku-bands. This won't be perfect, but it removed a lot of the tps listed that are no longer valid due to the 5G updates. When exploring C-band on a 1m dish, I can now fairly quickly use Satellite Finder to manually scan across the arc checking tps for any signal. Since I can now physically see my dish as it moves in my temporary installation, I can see when it's ready to check for tps.
