I have found some stuff by guessing and using incremental manual PID entering but it takes a very long time.

I think you can only get blind scanning with a set top box. The PCI cards apparently have tuners that aren't suitable for quick scanning. TSREADER needs you to know the freq and SR , but then it will show you all sorts of info about the streams. It doesn't play by itself, but can stream video to other programs or other hardware. I think that the
Twinhan card only requires a 400 MHz computer to work with SD, and that should give all the speed that TSREADER would need, but to play 4.2.2 or
HD, you'd need a faster computer.
