Also, If I have loaded a sat file with the current transponder info, will just a regular sat scan (as opposed to blindscan) give me all the active channels?
If, in fact, the sat file does have all the current transponder frequencies with the correct SR values, then yes, most receivers have some sort of "satellite scan", which scans all transponder freqs in memory, and this will actually probable be even better than a blind scan at picking up channels, because blind scans generally miss a few signals.
HOWEVER, it is unlikely that this file that you loaded is actually current, or accurate. I'd check the transponder freqs vs Lyngsat to see how they compare, and manually add any missing freqs.
