Thanks for your input. I have narrowed down the problem. If I scan as if I am using a C band lnb using defining frequencies then your scanning methods do work. This is not working for a universal lnb. I wonder if this is because auto is not being shown in the blind scan screen for band selection. Auto is the default given when choosing the Lnb type as universal in the dish menu screen. This is not being acknowledged in the blind scan screen.
