is there a chance the feed wasnt live at the time, or did you run the scans at the same time....which is quicker.
Ran at the same time

I have 8 receivers and they all behave differently and find a varying amount of channels with blind scan. The one that seems to find the most is the SF8008 with the SX88 firmware. I don't think with that firmware though, it will scan below a 1000 maybe 1500 on symbol rates but the DM900 does.. Horses for courses..

do you actually have an sx88 to compare it with the sx88 image in slot

Hi friend. I have sx88 and sx88+. Do you know if sf8008 accepts (manually input) SR below 1000 and max 80.000? Or only 1000 and 60.000?

And how about blindscan sf8008? (Defined OS and Enigma2) 1 ~60 too? Acoording support, sf8008 find 100 ~ 80.000

I have h9, h9 twin, zero4k and, appear only 1 to 60 (OpenATV).

Using blindscan, h9/h9twin/zero4k find only 1 ~ 45.

Sx88/SX88+ find 1 ~ 47500.

I need good receiver to do "C blindscan". H9s/twin show wrong ranges for C band. Work only Ku band.

See here my tests h9s. This week I'm testing my new h9 twin, but same wrong C blindscan.


I'm watching a lot of videos about: Edision Os Mio 4k/4k+, SF8008, Amiko Viper 4k and Ustym 4k pro for good "C blindscan", but I don't know if support symbol rates 0 ~ 80, 0 ~ 60, 1 ~ 60, 1 ~ 80, 0 ~ 45 or 1 ~ 45.

I don't know if sf8008 accept only manual scan 100 ~ 80.000 acording support.

Sorry my english.

@Channel Hopper said that 940 SR - might just be an approximation of the 1000 SR lower limit, which is a fair point.
we need something in the 200 - 800 range to be sure....im happy to test if someone could point me to a lower SR TP

coming in loud (Octagon SF8008) and clear at 16.5db, its a shame the blind scan doesnt go lower than 1000 in E2

neither my SF8008 (E2) - nor my SX88 (non E2) can lock that one mate - not sure if its just a signal issue or an low SR issue

The TBS6903 DVB card can blind scan in very low SR.
I have attached a spectrum and transponder list below from a blind scan of 16E.
The blind scan locked the frequency of 21,563 with SR of 128.

Does anyone know if there are any receivers that can do Symbol rates in kS/s ranges below 1000,
I know that some PCI cards can do it, but are there any receivers that are able to go really low in the 100's range

there are two scenarios here:
a) Which STB's can manually handle lower than 1000SR TP's (i.e manually input)
b) Which STB's FIND lower than 1000SR TP's on a blindscan.

If I remember, PurE2 or SatdreamGR blindscan start search: 00 and end search: 60. OpenATV start search 01 to 60 only.

Yes, different python code (00 ~ 60 or 01 ~ 60) and same binary to scan...

My Vu+ Zero 4k, own blindscan binary (vuplus bindscan) and save to .xml

Zgemma h9s/twin, (dmm blindscan binary outdated) and only work Ku Band...
