Vu+ Duo2

Here's some replies about the current blind scan status of the Vu+ Duo2 to some questions that
that I posted on a Euro site....


Vu+ Duo2 and blindscan

Has anyone experimented with blind scan yet? Looking for real life reviews.

2- Does the blind scan work on one or both tuners?
3- Anyone have blind scanning times for both C and Ku vs. non-blind scanning?
4- Do scanning times differ between images utilized?

Thank you and appreciate your input.
---------------------------------------------------

ad 2: On both. However: the dual tuners still don't support blindscan (VU+ is working an a driver update for that)

ad 3: Not sure what you're after; scanning transponders that are present in your satellites.xml has hardly anything to do with blindscan. And any comparison you would do depends on the satellites.xml in use.
I have no experience on C-band scanning, but Ku-band blindscan works fine.

ad 4: Probably not, as the same hardware and drivers are being used. What does differ between images is the user friendlyness of the plugin. In ViX a lot of effort has been spend on the latter.
---------------------------------------------------

In regards to ad 3, I am trying to get an approximate hardware vs. software scan speed as compared to other receivers that I am using. I realize that scan speeds will vary between sats scanned, but it would give me a ball park figure that I can use to evaluate.

The blindscan of 19.2E took 2 mins 10 sec; result attached (104 transponders found).

Are the tuners hardware blindscan?
---------------------------------------------------

Yes.

The dual-tuner cards still need a (promised) driver update for that.
