If that be True, then the TS Sat Editor needs to be modified to work correctly or removed from feeds.

Some parts of the system work fine as long as the satellites.xml is configured in a way that can be read. Signal finder is a good example. I don't know what it would take to make the blindscan plugin perform like the signal finder for showing a signal. Showing a signal for a transponder or showing Lock in the blindscan plugin has always been problematic. At the end of the day, it may simply be removed and forgotten about.
