[QUOTE="el bandido, post: 1033178, member: 316102"] I am not wanting to cover-up for the SX88, but the lnb you are using seems to be a £15 item. Inexpensive lnbs can drift and cause issues as you have described. If you get a good, professional lnb that costs 10 - 15 times more then your blindscans may improve on the symbol rates using the SX88. Having worked on some blindscan code in the past, I can tell you that it is real difficult to fix one problem without starting another. It would probably help us most if there were more user selectable features available for the SX88 blindscan. In enigma2, I have modified the blindscan plugin so I can ignore the transponders that are in the channel or lamedb file. The receiver looks for all the transponders it can find, then throws out the ones that are in or are similar to the ones in the channel or lamedb file, then it scans whatever transponders are left. (This is what you need for your SX88!) One problem is if you set your transponder comparisons too tight, then you miss transponders. If you set the comparisons too loose, then you get duplicates. I doubt much if anything gets changed in the SX88 blindscan. It is what it is... If they changed the blindscan much from what it is now without adding additional user features, then you would probably start getting duplicate channels. [/QUOTE]
