Thread: TDA10071 based DVB-S2 receivers

The Pansat 9200 has a new add-on tuner that does blind scan S2. And, the Vantage set top box does blind scan S2. If there are others, I'm sure someone will say, but that's all I can think of.

I contacted Pansat directly and they told me it uses the stv0903 chip, but I know this isn't true because that doesn't have blind-scan. That may be the initial/onboard demodulator that comes stock with the 9200. I'm going to query them again and clarify that I'm talking about the add-on board. I'd ask somebody to take a picture of the demodulator, but it's integrated into the tuner ...

I could do it for you - just give me the receiver. I promise it will works as before me.

From Pansat: Quote: Got more information from sactory for the S-2 Plus tuner modeule. Tuner name: Seritt platform tuner. Tuner PLL Chip: STB 61110 FEC Demod : STV0903. If this information is correct, the Prof 7301 PCI S2 tuner card for a computer should theoretically be able to do blind scan. I'm trying to order a sample/test card ...

I can't find any bit of info what is support your statement "should theoretically be able to do blind scan". I would be glad to follow your hints in the direction.
