Which is better to use, a blind scan or regular?
I am beginning to think that blind scans are only good for figuring out what exactly you are pointed at.
If I do a normal scan on the transponders that are loaded in my Viewsat - they are weak.
And I get a lesser amount than if I blind scan. But the blind scans seem to find the channels "a little off" their given frequency, therefore making them really strong or really weak.
However, it seems that if I add a transponder with an exact frequency from Lyngsat or elsewhere - it is a lot better.
It is kind of like the difference between putting radio station 97.3 on 97.1 when the station is actually 97.3. It will still pick up, but not as good as if it is right on.
Should I just erase all the preloaded tp's and input the Lyngsat one's?
But here is what throws me off. Different sights also list the channels as slightly different frequencies.
How do you know what the EXACT frequency is like on a radio station, or does that matter?
Thanks,
