Just some feedback on the help I received here. The thread that johnnynobody suggested didn't make any sense to me until I visited legitFTA. TNAP was a mystery till I figured out what that meant. So, my initial search for help was good, it just didn't make any sense. Also, this was the first...

Well, tear off my lips....SUCCESS! Am I having fun yet? I think so. I need to catch up on some reading. I been spending too much time outdoors. So I wonder how I buggered it up in the first place? One day I was watching a live feed and then the next, I'm in a boot loop. The box has been...

White screen. Are they down?

Mike, I'm not familiar with this procedure. Where would I obtain a copy of TNAP 3.2?. Thanks.

Can't break the loop by cycling the power. Tried a different thumb drive and using the original firmware I saved back in Feb 2019.

Trying on another Video monitor. Still no luck. I can't help but wonder if I'm missing a step. I went back and reread other threads. I have a txt file named 'force.txt' on the USB thumb drive. Holding down the menu button as I power on. Tried dozens of times without success. The monitor is...

Still waiting to get the boss off the big screen, but I can try without it. If it breaks out of the 'boot' loop, I'll know it.

I haven't tried that yet. I do have a backup image but it is in a folder on the USB drive. Should it be in the root or will the box go hunting all the folders? Thanks.

Thanks, I already read the thread. It does not help me solve my problem.

I don't see this particular problem after searching this forum so this could be new, maybe not. My box display is stuck on 'boot'. I tried cycling the power several times. My big screen TV shows a blank screen, no flashing logos, lights, nothing. Played with the remote while cycling power...

I bought it years ago and I don't recall exactly, from the Internet. But here is an example of what I purchased. VHF/UHF antenna To get started, find out what is out there on a map like this site. Station Transmitters After you enter your location, a map is displayed showing all the...

Barely 20 seconds and more like 5. It amazes me the amount of money they spend on a helicopter to circle for hours on some car wreck or other disaster and it gets 5 seconds or less on the main stream news. They send reporters out to gather news that never gets reported. The feeds are great...

I put up a well tuned antenna on my property. Added a small amplifier, and good cable, and now I receive free OTA local channels. The key is selecting a TV antenna that matches the broadcast transmissions. Find out what they are. VHF HI/LO UHF? It helps to know before you buy.

I found the feeds on the Internet. abcnews Live Feeds Looks much like before but added commercials between feeds. I can select the feed I want, then buffer/stream to my big screen without interruption. So far, so good, and only as good as my internet connection. UPDATE: If that's not enough...

Thanks ALL for the great replies. I'll tape up my plug. Yes it's a bit wonky, but tape fixes almost everything. I'll also try a different -7 hour time zone. My AC power is flaky which is why I have a gas generator, solar, and wind backup.

I successfully scanned in all the FTA feeds from 87W to 123W with my warped motorized dish. 125W remains a challenge. The warp may be to blame, or maybe my motorized arc is a hair off. I have a way to bend the dish mount up and down a tad so that 125W can be received, but then I lose 87W if I...

Must be a good club. Wife left the house and I managed to pick up another satellite. To get any more channels, I will need to get a better dish or beat my warped dish into submission. Its been several seasons since I tried to fine tune its aim so I may try that first as this new box may make a...

I R impressed with this box. I'm loving the positioner controls. This thing is blind scanning like a mad dog, Locking onto birds with the first try. I suspect a mad scientist was chained to a desk to design this thing. I could be wrong, but I think I'm very happy with it. Had to kick the wife...

Thanks. Sounds resonable. I'll play with it and see what happens. 10 steps/degree would be sweet!

Playing around with the positioner settings, I have a SG-2100 HH motor from the dinosaur age. Manual says 1.9 deg/sec 13V and 2.5 deg/sec 18 volts. What I don't see is the minumum step size. It looks like I can configure the box for a step size and I can force the motor speed to move slowly at...

Looks like I started this thread in the wrong area. Should have put it Android and Enigma/Linux Based STB Discussion Moderators may want to move it. I'll post any new questions in the Linux Based STB Discussion area. Thanks everyone for your help.

N6BY, Yup, brought it in the house one day and worked on it for a while. It's not perfect, but close enough to work 90% of the motorized arc. I plan to get a newer dish some day, but for now, it's mostly parked on 91W as the wife loves the ABC feeds. With the new box, I'll be able to play around...

Now it's working with the USB stick. I elevated access to root on my PC and my computer root password let me in. I put the stick back into the box and it is now creating the image backup. Version git45 execution finished in 2.54 minutes contents: imageversion kernel1.bin rootfs.tar.bz2 Looks...

Did that. Tried the USB stick. Did not recognize it until I initialized it. After initialization, it recognizes the stick, but then wants a file stored on the stick called "BACKUPSTICK". I tried to save a file by that name on the USB stick, but permissions are denied. I have no root access to...
