Edision OS NINO PRO S2X

The Nino Pro is the first receiver I have owned that will blindscan multi-stream transponders and resolve them. The Zero 4K can find the multi-stream transponder and log it, but it cannot resolve or successfully scan the transponder it logged.

The multi-stream example shown here is at 125W c band.
The transponder is 4140v music choice channels.

The Nino Pro has a couple of blindscan issues.

(1) DVB-S transponders are found using a FEC of AUTO. Sometimes a bad FEC (2/3,7/8) is shown instead of Auto.
This issue is only cosmetic and has nothing to do with signal quality or channel reception.

(2) Blindscan will hang sometimes when searching for 1000 Symbol Rate transponders.
This issue has only appeared or only happens when low symbol rates of 1000 are selected in blindscan. Low symbol rate 1000 is my default setting.
This issue is not predictable, and does not happen often. But it does exist and Edision knows about it. We will see if it can be corrected or solved, but it does not happen often enough to worry much about it. Blindscans using symbol rates of 2000 and up have never hung up with me.
 
DVB-S2X transponders found in blindscan will automatically be displayed as DVB-S2.

Other receivers such as the Vu+ Zero 4K would identify DVB-S2X transponders as DVB-S2X. This created a problem because DVB-S2X is not yet defined in the enigma2 operating system, so the fta receiver would crash when the Zero 4K logged a DVB-S2X transponder in blindscan. Code was added to the blindscan plugin file to keep the system from crashing when a DVB-S2X transponder was found during blindscan.

The OS Nino Pro automatically assigns DVB-S2X as DVB-S2. This is done in the tuner software, so DVB-S2X is seen as DVB-S2 in blindscan. The only thing I do not like about this is I cannot see DVB-S2X transponders being logged by using telnet terminal. You can see some blindscan data using telnet, but this is not something that is commonly done.

The only clue to tell if a DVB-S2 transponder that is logged in blindscan Might Be DVB-S2X would be that the FEC is set to Auto. However, it could also be, and more likely will be DVB-S2 that has no FEC assigned or no FEC found.
Anyway, this is what we will have until DVB-S2X is properly added to the enigma2 operating system. The positive thing about this is there are only a few active DVB-S2X transponders right now in the entire world.

EB, see If this feed plays with the Edision pro 91w Ku s2 11744 v 7200 auto 8psk
It is one of those 4:2:0 feeds that acts like 4:2:2
It came in one time with the zero 4k but once I changed the channel and went back to it just black screen with audio.
