And there are more than 2 voltages to check. 6% is marginal. 5% is a more reliable value to be within, except for the 22 volts, which normally runs at 24+ volts.

The advice given is to upgrade the toppy's software before retuning. My problem is that the toppy is nowhere near the PC. I have never been able to connect the toppy to the PC. I once did an upgrade off air though. What is my situation now?

You need the Asus to run the thing wirelessly. Otherwise, you will need to run network cabling to the SLU2. Alternatively, you can get an NMT, such as the PopcornHour, which has an optional wireless dongle. This will do many other things, as it is primarily a very capable media player. Please note that wi-fi is not the best way to stream media, though it will transfer files to and from the ...

The T version does have a different front panel, which you may find more attractive, and has a different ID, but is other wise identical to the original 5800. The place to look for model availability would be the Turbosat web site. They are the official importers.

Mine has done this twice - once with 6.0 and once with 6.1. I followed a more blunderbus course and deleted all the lnk, dat and epg files but it sounds as though this post adopts a more methodical approach to finding out what is causing the problem. If it happens again I'll try culling the epg files only.

You should be able to set this from the TV. Most WS TVs have a 4:3 setting, which will set to that ratio if the broadcast is in that format, and auto set to 16:9 when ws is shown. Or use WSSKiller tap.
