Hi, and thanks for writing the FTA article. I'm an FTA satellite enthusiast and also use Linux with a Twinhan VP-1020A (budget DVB) card.
BTW, Project X is wonderful for editing and demuxing DVB transport streams, and works great on Linux: <a href=http://sourceforge.net/projects/project-x>Link here</a>
Other software I use with DVB streams: mplayer, mencoder, mplex
Why I replied: blind scan is a function of the receiver hardware, not software like Kaffeine. To the best of my knowledge no PC satellite receiver cards support it. However many set-top receiver boxes do, even at the < $100 price point.
