For blind scanning support using chinesebob's blindscan-S2 [http://chinesebob.net/dvb/blindscan-s2/] you will also need the UDL patch [http://updatelee.blogspot.com/2010/09/prof-7500-linux-kernel-driver-mods.html]

===Sample Kernel Output===
If you wish to tune the card with old apps that have not been ported to S2API reverse this patch [http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin/rev/02f01aa83bfa] and the card will tune DVB-S or DVB-S2 without having to manually specify one or the other.


$dmesg | grep cx88
With all these patches applied all that is necessary to tune the card is the frequency, any relevant switching control and any symbol rate between 1000 and 45000. As long as the frequency is close the card will quickly blind scan all the other parameters including symbol rate. dvbsnoop -s feinfo will provide the current tuned parameters.
