whitch has the best OpenVix are OpenPli Are ?
OpenViX easily has the best blindscan and yes I am bias towards ViX, but we (Huevos) has spend a lot of time working and perfecting blindscan for ViX. That said there is nothing preventing Pli or any other team from incorporating our blindscan plugin into their image in fact many of the OE-A teams already do.
The blindscan driver binary file for the receiver is supplied by Vu+. The blindscan enigma2 plugin has been modified several times, but the driver supplied by Vu+ more or less dictates how or what the receiver will scan. Blindscan only finds transponders, then the Service Scans looks for channels on the transponders that were found in Blindscan. The Service Scan can be extremely slow when compared to closed source receivers.
The Blindscan in OpenPLi and OpenVix are more or less the same because they use the same driver that is supplied by Vu+.
The Vu+ blinscan works well and a bit slow at times when scanning sats with many transponders. However, it misses many transponders. I scanned several satellites with my vu+solo2 and my x2 premium III, the latter scanned in many more channels and transponders. I have used the Vix image from day one, I flashed my receiver before ever plugging it in.
Current Vu+ models do not receive 16 and 32 APSK, but the X2 will receive these modes. This may explain some of the channels you are missing.
When watching satellite tv, which I do often, the Vu+ is my choice as its picture quality exceeds all other fta receivers I have ever tested. Also, it is an extremely refined receiver which adds so many other dimensions that others don't. I'm not sure if the tp or channels that were missed were 16 or 32 APSK but that doesn't bother me at all as I have never tested E2 blinscan before. My c band feed, which my solo2 is attached to, is dual so I keep another receiver always as a back up in case one or the other misses something.
OpenPli has a couple more features in blindscan than I cannot find or do not see in the OpenVix blindscan plugin.
(1) OpenPli will sometimes show when the motor has reached the target satellite. This information is displayed at the top left of the blindscan menu screen.
(2) OpenPLi gives you the option of opening a saved satellite .xml file onscreen instead of having to dig it out of the file system and open it.
Both images find about the same or the exact same transponders in a blindscan. I have attached a couple of .xml files scanned with each image on satellites 99W c band and 87W ku band.
I used to use PLI because it was avant-garde in coding, but lately have stayed away from using it due to incompatibility with multiboot. The PLI group does not support it. In the interim I enjoy playing with ATV with all of its beta bugs. The other con with PLI is plugins that are available with other images that are not available with the PLI DB. Searching and manually having to load the ipk is a pia.
Occasionally, I will load PLI in flash just to see how it runs, but I continue to go back to ATV. I have enjoyed using PLI in the past, but until they bring back support for multiboot, I can wait.
I have been a fan of OpenPLi for a long time. The SH4 receivers that I used a few years ago ran faster and easier for me with OpenPLi based images.
Different plugins can be found in various places including images feeds for different image groups. I have a plugin folder and can usually transfer the few plugins I want to any image within a few minutes. The satellite editor and the channel pid editor plugins are hard to find, but they have installed in about every image that I use-even SH4.
OpenVix images is what I mainly suggest to people who have just got their receiver and are fairly new to the e2 operating system. It is a very nice operating system.
I don't have VU+ butt enigma2 don't have until today one good blindscan
Ku Blindscan what setting do you use with a standard Lnb i have mind set to user defined all 3 boxs i have 10750 it will not sca in any thing with blind scan only with a manual scan.
Universal lnb is needed for blindscan.
Thanks I"ll have to get one
We are trying to get standard lnbs added. You can use a standard lnb but the transponders will be 150 MHz off. To do this, set the lnb as universal for the satellite in the antenna settings, then only blindscan the high band in blindscan. Do this by setting the lower scan parameter to 11700.
I got a Universal lnb installed and it still will not scan anything in on amc-21 here are my setting.

Does c band blindscan work?
Yes it works but slow
No enigma 2 receiver has a fast blindscan that I know of.
Have you verified that the universal lnb is receiving signals? Have you manually scanned one transponder to verify that it works?
yes it is working i scans in one tp 12180 manually
Are you using universal setting for LOF? See attached.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Yes i am
It should work if everything is set correctly.
What message do you get after a ku blindscan? What is the make/model of the universal lnb?
This is the lnb [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

It looks like it is finding transponders, just not any channels on them.
Try a blindscan, but use the save to .xml option in the blindscan menu. Then zip and post the .xml file. It will be located in the /tmp folder of the receiver. The transponder information may tell us what is wrong.
I haven't attempted ku band with my solo2 but I have noticed on many sats that blind scan will not find all tp but they scan in manually but make sure your info for the tp is correct like dvb-s and dvb-s2 with fec and qpsk or 8psk.

How strong is FNX? I get about 13.8 db/snr on that transponder.
My blindscan got 9 transponders and 19 free tv channels. A copy of the scanned transponders is attached.
Check the lnb installation. I think your receiver is working OK, just need to check the antenna hardware.
You may reinstall the 10750 lnb and test it using the universal settings. The blindscan should still work with the 10750 lnb but the transponders will be 150 MHz off. Use 11700 for the lower blindscan frequency or else it will scan the 10750 l.o. twice, giving you duplicate channels.
I hooked back up to my Dr-D15 and it found 7 tps with 12.8 db so antenna settings are good.
Did you connect the Dr-D15 to the exact same coax as the Solo2? Remove one receiver and replace it with another using the exact same antenna connections?
12.8 db on what transponder? What is the signal strength of the Solo2 on the same transponder???
Yes and Yes transponder 12180 on Dr-D15 12.8 db and 12180 on solo2 13.0 db using the same cable
Does the solo2 get the rest or the other 6 transponders if you enter them manually?
Yes they scan in manually
Try another scan or try scanning a different satellite such as 87W.
Please get the satellite.xml out of your receiver and post it here. Let's make sure it is OK.
Just curious EB because this is the case on almost every sat that I have scanned as well, the solo2 misses many tp that any old receiver will scan in-does the image make a difference? I am still using OpenVix but am going to give OpenPli a shot. I too have the same satellite.xml file that you posted. I will flash OpenPli and use the sat file associated with it before flashing another sat file and see if it still misses tp.
The big question is: What does it miss? Please make notes of what it is missing! Thanks.
this is anew scan of 125 using OpenPli this morning still not finding channels

Just scanned 97w ku got 315 channels and 28 Transponders so it seems to just not be working on amc 21 125w
Please get the satellite.xml out of your receiver and post it here. Let's make sure it is OK.
Blind scan of 125 and 97 using free scan only
Please get the satellite.xml out of your receiver and post it here. Let's make sure it is OK.
