TNAP-5 Image Discussion

As a noob this will be an interesting thread to follow and see how the community counters this challenge through knowledge sharing and friendliness of others.

Signal in db, Transponder lock/unlock, and lnb power will be added to the scan reports for the Octagon SF8008. It is unknown if the same features will be added for the Edision 4K receivers because the different drivers return different results.

Showing the signal in db for the scanned transponders helps to get a view of how the dish system is working. Knowing if a transponder failed to scan channels because it was unlocked is also useful. Shown below is a screencap of the SF8008 Supreme.

I don't have the 8008 (supreme or other)
I read in several European forums that the supreme (unlike the normal 8008 which reads up to SR 250) does not read for the moment sr below SR 940. For many radios this is not ideal.

WEDO Big Stories channel is back to working normally. The differences I can see:

Video:
Was 25i. Now 25p.

Provider:
Was Amtecco. Now Amagi.

Audio:
Was AAC undefined. Now AAC English.

My guess is the 25i was the problem.

I would like to second this finding!

The Mood Music channels are now in parallel on 101W at 12000 V 20000. Presumably this is due to them leaving 103W in the future. How can I see them on 101W?

Signal in db and some other information such as whether the transponder is in a Locked state have been added to the scan reports. I find this information useful for several different things, and maybe others will find it useful for something too. The supported MIO receivers do not do a good job returning signal in db during a scan as compared to the SF8008 series, but the MIO's do return useful information. Try it for yourself and see.

To get this feature in TNAP5, perform an online update. This will most likely be the last update for TNAP5.

The new function works fine. More information is always welcomed.

For example:
The new Horizons 4 at 127W Ku blind scan never scans anything in. But now I can at least see something about what's going on.

I am trying out my 1-metre dish on C-band using a Titanium C1PLL LNBF. When blind scanning 105W, I found a transponder at 4117 V 960. I receive it at up to 5.8 dB. Several times when I scanned it, I got a green crash screen. Other tps on 3991 V 5833 and 4025 V 5000 scanned in normally. I'm wondering why the green screen. See attached.
