Anyway, blind scan needs to lock onto a transponder to be able to discover its channels.On the Duo the SNR for pixel free (error free) viewing is 32 for 3/4 FEC and 40 for 5/6 FEC. If you compare the error correction between those two FECs you'll find 3/4 has 68% more bits devoted to correcting errors and only carries 90% of the real data compared to 5/6 FEC. In real terms that means 3/4 FEC has 75% more correction for each block of real data, which in my experiments seems to equate to an increase to the next dish size up (50, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, 180, etc).</blockquote>
