Zgemma H7 UHD 4k Blind Scan Setup Tutorial for Free To Air Satellite TV

THE HAPPY SATELLITE NERD EPISODE 45
I am just learning how to set up the BlindScan and hope I covered enough so that you can get started with this tutorial. also check out this page for step by step instructions.
"This tutorial explains how to perform a software blindscan on your ZGemma 4K satellite receiver. This feature is useful for finding wild feeds (e.g. unscrambled PPVs, events or breaking news) and new programming services that may have been added to a satellite and aren't yet published by the active satellite forums.
For best results, please download the latest Master Channel Listings. If you recently purchased your receiver, it is likely already flashed with the latest listings and you can skip this section." www.tvrosat.com/forum/phpBB3/...
"The purpose of blindscan is to quickly find any new satellite transmissions without resorting to a spectrum analyzer or other expensive equipment. This is usually done by programming the receiver tuner to run through all possible frequency and symbol rate permutations and recording all programming services found. It can be done by using a combination of hardware and software or by software alone."
"Hardware blindscan relies on the tuner performing a preliminary spectral power scan of every transponder. If the transponder is determined to be active, a subsequent scan will be performed to determine the transmission symbol rate. This method tends to be faster because inactive transponders are not retested again for symbol rates. However, if the initial scan is inaccurate, some programming services will be missed.
Software blindscan performs a single scan using all possible frequency and symbol rate permutations on every transponder. This method is more accurate but takes much longer. To reduce the scanning time, it is possible to reduce the frequency and symbol space being searched without compromising accuracy.
In recent times, American tuner chip manufacturers have been turning off hardware blindscan or not providing support for this function. The most likely reason for this is to prevent FTA satellite enthusiasts from finding unscrambled wild feeds that are being resold by American Cable and Satellite companies. :frown Fortunately, with the much faster linux decoders available today and intelligent programming, we can rely solely on software blindscan instead!
Fast Blindscan vs. Accurate Blindscan
FAST BLINDSCAN is a compromise on Accurate Blindscan. Whereas Accurate Blindscan searches the entire frequency/symbol space and is 99.9% accurate, FAST BLINDSCAN only searches the most likely frequency/symbol permutations and does this very quickly.
FAST BLINDSCAN should be used when searching for wide-bandwidth transponders (e.g. symbol rate 30,000). Most wild feeds and new fronthauls/backhauls tend to have symbol rates like 30000, 31250, 28800, 27500, 26666, 22500, 15000, 10000, etc., and will be found quickly with 99.9% accuracy. FAST BLINDSCAN will likely not find narrow-bandwidth transmissions with odd symbol rates (e.g. 1433). To find such odd transmissions, you would use Accurate Blindscan.
6(a).2.3: Tuner Configuration
Before using software blindscan, you must configure the stb tuner for each blindscan tool. The procedure is the same as configuring the tuner for each satellite.
Press Menu - Setup - Service Searching Tuner Configuration and select your tuner."

This looks like a relic from the past... Great channel.

[@foxman362]

that cband dish it like ones had back in 1993 the black mesh ones only problems had dish had when airline went over your area when lnb beam lineup it always went out signal then when airliner flew away from it the signal comes back on.

[@emilehermans3797]

I want to point out that some channels are partly FTA. Chances are a FTA scan will not find them...so it is always better to scan all channels available. For instance Hotbird has Rai1,2,3 and a few commercial channels that are partly FTA. There is little info on this..one has to check the channels one by one i guess. Bought me a H7S. It does have a blindscan options but i had to download the blindscan plugin. It also has a 5 level (1,2,3,4,5) accuracy (higher is better it states).

There is some channels that will scan in is encrypted but when you do a transponder Scan they come in as in the clear like some of the channels on c-band Galaxy 19. So for those channels like laugh Escape excetera what all do is find the transponder do a scan of that transponder
