Hi friends ..
Finally got Easy Blindscan ..up and running ..
It controls the diseqc 1.1 switch nicely ...selecting the correct port ..
There is some sort of issue using EBS built in positioner ...
I guess this might be because my 'Darkmotor' isn't listed ...so tried the 2 options that are Usals/Stab ....and SG2100 ..
A recent scan of Badr @26East ...produced results ....just not the ones expected ..
The dish had located a satellite and scanned it ...just not the one I wanted ..
17 tansponders aquired ...non of which identified as Badr 26East

I gave up ...and deselected 'postioner' ....and switched on the F15 ...
..moved the dish to 26 East ...and put the F15 in standby ..
I then performed an EBR blindscan using port 3 ...diseqc 1.1 having left the TD110 (port3) where the F15 placed it.....and it correctly found the badr transponders I expected to be able to see ..
24 transponders

My conclusion ..
EasyBlindscan and/or Crazyscans positioner algo ...as I assume EBS uses the same....doesn't like my motor ...and so can't accurately position the dish
...So ..for now at least I'm going to have to manually position the dish with a set top box before using the TBS6925 ..when using the TD110 (darkmotor)
Yet to try the TD88 on the SG2100 ...but that one appears catered for ...fingers crossed ..
..and No probs moving the Alcoa(vbox) using diseqc 1.2 ...as this also works just fine..
Its certainly an education ....and bringing back memories of why I migrated away from pc sat cards ..in favour of set top boxes..
This card is too useful ..not to use ..so If I have to use a stb as a positioner ...then so be it....
Inconvenient I know...but I do need to know what I'm pointing at.

VS
....another possibility that just occurred is that maybe the TBS card can't generate enough current to power the 1.1 ..8 port switch ....the darkmotor ...and the lnb ...thus making for inaccurate dish movement..
This being the case ...I'll never find a cure ..and will have to continue using a stb as a positioner.
