I got the last update to Windows 10 on Tuesday, but I see nothing about upgrading to Windows 11 despite the fact that my system is capable of doing so. I DON'T have Secure Boot turned on, but my BIOS supports it, which is all that it's SUPPOSED to require -- or is Microsoft incapable of using...

I'm thinking that those are probably T2MI transponders, but I don't know why it also says "T" on ones that aren't. Bug?

Well if the frequency table selection is only for cable, as your one picture hints, that might explain it. On cable, channel 14 immediately follows channel 13, instead of being hundreds of megahertz higher. It looks like, above the cable selections, there are OTA selections for specific DMAs...

You shouldn't scan it, the radio channels have already been entered with their names -- the channels won't even show up in a scan, this receiver isn't doing anything magic compared to any other receiver. Try enabling the satellite and then changing your channel list to radio channels. The...

Just did a scan again and got nothing from 91 or 93.

The ones I saw had a much lower symbol rate. I think it was 15500, which is kind of distinctive, maybe it'll mean something to someone. The Edision supposedly scans up to 60000. I wonder what's going on with the 63999 -- are they on the Bell satellite, or something else? I haven't scanned...

I scanned that location early this morning and I found three transponders, but no channels. Unless they're bleeding over from 95W. I haven't scanned that because it's supposed to be all DirecTV. I tried again just a little while ago and got nothing. So either they're not full-time, or...

I think my Mio (no "plus") is staying on 5.1 for a while. I've had no end of blind scan problems with 6.0. It misses transponders frequently, even using the No-T2MI driver (which is the one I'm also using on 5.1, due to the others having problems with dropping LNB power which I've mentioned...

I haven't had a good experience with the T2MI driver in 5.1 either. It doesn't fail on simply switching polarities like the OP's system, but it will randomly fail after blind scans, and randomly fail when coming out of standby mode. There doesn't seem to be a set time period, but it WILL...

The FCC hasn't served the public interest since -- well, wait a minute, have they ever served the public interest?

I must have not used Crystal Disk Info in a LONG time, I don't remember anything other than a normal UI. On the other hand, I remember whipping the llama's ass, and I still put a Santa hat on my traffic cone every December.

The boot logo is stored in /boot/bootlogo.mvi What can you use to create a .mvi file? No idea. Why didn't Enigma use a more popular format? No idea.

Proprietary standards should've never been allowed on the public airwaves in any form in the first place.

I should've been a judge. I would tell them "be glad you're getting carriage at all with that attitude, now get out and quit wasting my time!"

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
