I finally had a chance to try blind scanning with OpenPLi and OpenATV. As suspected, it didn't work but I'm hopeful it will soon. I get the same results described in post #8 with Open ATV. OpenPLi crashes and reboots the receiver. I explained the North American blind scan problem on the OpenPLi forum so we'll see if it helps any.

Here is one of their replies... "Zgemma uses dmmBlindScan.py and the binary code is built in to its drivers. That means all the great features of this plugin (such as the filters) are not available to Zgemma users.".

The switching is between horizontal and vertical polarity for the linear part and between left hand polarity and right hand polarity for the circular. Each LNB output (2 x linear / 2 x circular) operate independently. In my case, I'm not seeing any switching of polarity or frequency. As you suggest, I'll give openpli a try and maybe we'll be able to fix this in pure2 if we are successful with openpli. Pure2 is a great firmware, and so is openpli of course.

There is the LINKBOX 9000i LOCAL Satellite, ATSC Terrestrial & IPTV Receiver that does blind scan but I'd rather see if I can get the zgemma H7.AC working. I think it will just be a matter of time. There are others but they have a DVB-T2 tuner and we use an ATSC in North America.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

I have a ku band satellite dish with an Invacom Qph-031 Quad Polar LNB (circular & linear).

I have pure2 v.6.2 (kernel 4.10.12)

LOF: 10750 linear

LOF: 11250 circular

Hello, may thanks for implementing the blind scan function on the H7. Its a great feature to have.

For some reason Its not working for me though. I have the zgemma H7.AC for North America. When I start the blind scan plugin with default settings, it finds the transponder that the box was tuned to and keeps finding the same one over and over. It doesn't appear to switch frequency. The list of found transponders gets filled line after line with the same frequency, symbol rate, FEC...

When I start the blind scan plugin with start and stop frequencies changed to 11700 and 12200 to match the satellite band for 95W, the blind scan state window shows "Try to find used satellite transponders..." and nothing is found.

Hopefully this gives you enough information to work with and of course always willing to test changes.

Thanks,

Yes, I'm using those files but no channels opened up. Not much on ku to try. I suspect its just a matter of not having a valid key. I'd like to get 117W. At this point, I'd just like to see anything open up to see it working. I'll be putting up a c band dish later this year. Maybe then I'll have better luck.

Thanks,

I've tried most of the images and find openpli, openatv and pure2 to be the most north american friendly. I'd be willing to try a different image if it makes installation of the latest oscam-emu file via the links on this site easier to install, configure and work. I just don't know enough about oscam-emu to know if I have it right. So many parameters and hard to test on ku band between 87.1W and 125W. From what I understand, I just need an oscam.conf, oscam.server, oscam.user and oscam.dvbapi file configured properly and a softcam.key file with valid keys as a minimum to get it working. So close, but yet so far...

Nice to see USA support. I've been having a tough time getting Oscam-emu to work on ku band? I see there is allot of success on c band but I can't install a c band dish yet.

If anyone has this working on ku band, would you be able to share your config files and softcam file? Would be nice just to see one channel working to understand the relationship between the required config files. Also, what E2 image do you use?

Thanks
