This is completely inexcusable for those of us in the Scranton market! https://lite.cnn.com/2025/08/19/media/nexstar-tegna-billion-deal-local-tv-stations

So, what's the pricing going to look like for those of us who have bundles? 2026 is only 4 months away, they'd better be thinking about things like this.

Someone selected the wrong chroma encoding?

I concur with what you said about the blindscan only being accurate with the non-T2MI driver. In addition, unless it's changed from TNAP 5.1, the non-T2MI driver is the only one that doesn't randomly shut off the LNB power after a blind scan, or when coming out of standby. Nobody seems...

Neutrino is another interface that, like Enigma, runs on top of a full-blown Linux system, but appears more like a simpler STB interface. If I remember rightly, some variation of it shipped with the AZbox. I actually found several open-source Neutrino projects that claimed that you could...

I'm using one called Copper-FHD, which is not in the TNAP repository. I don't remember where I downloaded it a few years ago. Maybe we should ask El Bandido on the official TNAP forum? I seem to remember that Neutrino-style controls were the default in TNAP 5.x and below, I'm not sure why it...

If you're talking about legacy-style (or as I like to call it, sane) channel navigation with the arrow keys, Menu>Setup>System>GUI Settings>User interface. There are two entries there, "Enable 'neutrino' style zap controlling" and "Enable 'neutrino' style channel select controlling" I have no...

I had a dealer put a dish where trees grew into the LOS in just a few years. Then when they moved it, they planted the pole so shallow that it moves every time the ground freezes.

It is absolutely necessary to be able to see if something is recording when it should, since they can't provide accurate guide data!

This whole thing sounds a bit like David Gerrold's novel "The Man Who Folded Himself." Has anyone read that and watched this series?

I guess my alignment was off after all. I moved a few clicks west and now it works. Funny that it doesn't seem to be affecting any other satellites though.

This afternoon I'm getting it at 7.7dB, which is a lot more than yesterday (almost no signal) but not enough to lock it. Occasionally it'll jump to over 8dB and lock for a few moments. I don't think there are any storms close enough to block the signal, and if they were blocking it at at the...

Well then I have no idea what's going on. Montana and the NBC transponder are stronger than I've ever seen them, so I can't imagine it's an alignment issue.

It's barely showing up at my location, won't stay locked for longer than a fraction of a second. All other transponders seem strong.
