OpenATV4.0 Blindscan and Image Review
OpenATV recently made a platform change from 3.0 to 4.0. Overall, I think the 4.0 platform is a good improvement over3.0, and my only real complaint about it would be that it is fairly easy to cause a green screen and a system reboot.
It seems a few remote buttons are not mapped or incorrectly mapped. This issue is causing most of green screen system crashes
Blindscan with OpenATV4.0 is a mixed bag for me The blindscan seems to be faster in parts, and it is finding some small and difficult transponders. On the other hand, the blindscan misses some transponders that I would like for it to find, and sometimes it fails to find channels on found transponders.
Being reasonable, blindscan is a crap-shoot on any of the fta receivers that I own and have owned. The Duo2 with OpenATV4.0 will miss transponders/channels on one blindscan, then find them the next. This is also the nature of the blindscan beast on the rest of my fta receivers.
Overall, I would rate the OpenATV4.0 as an 8 or a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10, depending on which receiver I was using for comparison.
Receiver sensitivity on the Duo2 using OpenATV4.0 is excellent, Receiver sensitivity is as good, or better than any of the other fta receivers that I own.
Good Job OpenATV! Hope to see more in the future! EB

Blindscan Results conclusion
55.5W Ku
There is not much at all for me on this satellite, but the Duo2 was able to find this transponder and one scrambled channel on this transponder.

Glass System Utility is a great plugin. It may be found in OpenATV4.0 in the downloadable extensions.

No blindscan review would be complete without a picture of its inventor! J/K

Most of the satellites listed here are not easy to blindscan using any receiver. The Duo2 has improved in this area tremendously as compared to when I first got the receiver in late 2013. EB
