hi guys
just some feedback which may help some people.
i had a ZGemma H7S - this was great box triple tuner STB for general satellite use (and cable when it was "good") IP tv etc, but blind scan on it, was a no go , although to be fair it wasnt advertised as having it - it came along during its lifetime
anyway...
time has passed, and i saw the Zgemma H9S was advertised as having blind scan - so i plucked for one - to my surprise it uses uses the same tuner as Octagon Sf8008 so it looked promising (but not same chipset) -
anyway, after some initital config, i did some testing last night, well, what a disaster, IT found nothing on 22w, found nothing on 34.5w and found nothing on 45.w (although it could accept china radio TPs manually so it is capable of low SR)
not sure what it is with the the Zgemma's - the blindscan looks different too, maybe its not running the same blindscan plugin as the octagon and edision, and other models
i noticed that there was no option for scan for transponders or channels, it was either scan for channels or save to xml.
