I just received a Edision MIO+ 4K from Titanium today. It came with TNAP 3.2 installed. I did a quick setup and scanned a satellite. WOW! The blind scan is excellent. Way better than the other images I tried. Way better than TNAP 2.0 . It even finds the transponders that won't lock. :) Very Nice. I'm putting this on my other receiver.

I think I am rather clueless... how can I tell if my box is fully up to date?

Under Information / About , it doesn't show any updated dates past May 17.

When I perform a software update, it says No Packages Updated. But I do see the latest commit for Enigma2 was 8/31.

"No packages updated" means you already ran the update, and it loaded everything to date. So, you are fine for now.

same for me, no package updated (I ran the update yesterday)

I can display the list of commits.

But can someone explain the difference between updates and commits? And does that update the kernel?

on a different note, I tested the CRI (China Radio International) mux on Intelsat 14 @ 45W, US/Europe/Africa beam, 11605 H 990
As you can see it's a rather low SR, and challenging for any receiver.
For reference, the Amiko miniHDre does not detect it in a blind scan, but once entered manually (with SR=1000 as it's the lowest allowed value), it usually scans in after a few tries. It plays the audio intermittently as it struggles to keep the lock.
I had tried it with the original TNAP, no luck at all. Even when entered manually in Signal Finder.

Now with TNAP 3.2, it finds it in a blind scan! But it does not appear to lock fast enough for the service scan, I tried many times without any success. I ended up entering the services manually through dreamboxedit, and bingo! it plays flawlessly and keeps the lock! Note that usually, not all 5 services have actual audio content. Tonight the one with APID 36 was playing CRI in French, the others were silent.

I tried the Mississippi "supertalk" radio mux on 101W, but maybe i'm pushing my luck... that one has a SR=726 according to Lyngsat. And i'm not sure if it's still actually there. No luck at all there.

Those commits you see are for openpli current develope image.The TNAP 3.2 is based off openpli but it has the update server changed. That way only the updates useful for North America will be added if needed.
I noticed the Fox News Channels on 99w KU-band (audio only) SR 1000 also is found now with blind scan using TNAP 3.2 .
Titanium
Sorry, late to reply. No recent updates or commits have been made to TNAP 3.2 since May 17. The online software update is highly recommended as it has several improvements over the distributed 3.2 file.

A new TNAP version is currently being built.

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Seems in some ways better. Nicer layout, as others said maybe cleaner. Moving ahead in the guide is better.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.

At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

Meh. The 4Ks I have will do everything that these do that I need them to do.


Which that's most tech these days for anything released the last four to five years.


It's honestly a testament to how good the previous gen Apple TVs were and are.

Don't tell them that. They'll adopt planned obsolescence.

Not a bit. IMO, Apple's are slow to boot up. Time is about the same with 1st gen and 3rd. Roku runs rings around them in that department. I only reason I stuck, is the Apple infrastructure, which has it's definite advantages. But $300 is a deal breaker. Later, Apple!

Yeah, they boot up a bit slower than Roku, but the OS does a lot more, so it makes sense. How often are you booting them up that is a differentiator? Aside from OS updates, mine are on all the time. I will say the ATV4K is generally quicker than the Roku Ultras I have, when it comes to launching apps and responsiveness, not that the Roku is sluggish.

I assume you mean services, like iCloud and Apple Music, and not actual software sales. Services have been growing quickly for Apple, but hardware still brings home the bacon. As for where Apple's revenue comes from, the iPhone is still king with 49.58% of revenue as of June 2026. Services comes in second with 28%. iPad, Mac, and Wearables/Home makes up the rest. So, that is 72% coming from hardware. Their profit margin is around 25%, FWIW.

I am skeptical the AppleTV 4k makes them much money on the hardware though, which I suspect is what you were getting at.

Just checked my account and it shows mgm+ at 8.00 per month, but that has red line drawn thru it and shows 0.00 per month. But it doesn't say how long this lasts,...... 1 month, 3 months, forever. I called customer service to get an answer, and they said nothing like that exists. Should I add the offer or not? Already paying them too much, but want to take advantage of something free.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.

You have a different offer that is free for a shorter timeframe which is different than the one that I and bnewt saw without defining the promotion period as I sent the question to DISH Care via Facebook Messenger and this is the response I got back 20 minutes ago.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.
