Hi, I have tested version 6.80, and think that the TBS module for blindscan has some problems:

1 - when locking a frequency, it asks a very accurate number, so changing only one more or one less you cant lock. Ex: 4140 H 6050 locks; but trying 4141 or 4139 wont lock anymore.
The problem is that LNB arent so stable, they change commonly +/- 2MHz, and then after a time we have dificulties to tune that signal.
If hardware control is disabled, you can change frequency a lot (+/- 5MHz) and still get locking.

2 - the blindscanning is loosing many frequencies, compared to the tool EBS, seems to be consequence of the issue above.

Using Prof 7301, TBS module 1.0.0.782, win7, 32 bits.

btw, last version of modules in ProgDVB installer. On site old one.

@marec:

try add option FastTune=0 in Modules\TBS.ini

@Crazycat,
That option softened locking, works much better with it enabled. Thank you! Are there more secrets hidden there?

@Prog,
There´s another strange thing with locking, for me in this version: with bad or no signal, every locking action freezes Progdvb. Its about 5 seconds with no direct hardware control, and about 15 seconds with direct hardware control active.
Problem is that is a must have "refresh channel on lost signal", and with that freezing as said above, Progdvb will freeze forever. Only force killing it to can use again.

P. S @Prog,
Version 6.8 is a good one. Was using 6.65.2. The Prog demuxer seems the best of all, now. Could not find a audio-video out of sync yet. Congratulations!

@Crazycat,
There are some issues that seems related to TBS modules.

1- when starting Progdvb
- if direct hardware control is enabled, program will lock frequency for a short time (1 or 2 seconds), then loose locking, with no quality; doing a new selection to the channel is needed for it to opens.

- but if direct hardware is off, quality keeps on. The channel opens normal.

2 - when selecting level modes 1 or 2, we dont get readings until a locking occurs. Strange, level is always possible, and will help feel if theres some signal present in that frequency. So level should be always shown...

3 - when happens a locking loose, it wont recover quality by itself, only by acting some way a locking; however this recover was something usual before the Crazycat modules. The problem afects more low or bad signals. Strong signals may recover lockin, but that not for sure.
Now, its almost impossible find a satellite by moving antenna: quality never appears by itself when in right position.
