Thanks to some new code from Tim MW0RUD, I have just released an update to the Ryde Build with the following features:

- The RF Input Power to the MiniTiouner is displayed in DVB-S/S2. As for the Portsdown it needs to be above -70 dBm and below -35 dBm for best results. It is not generally useful as a received signal strength indication, but should be used to achieve the optimum system gain. See this Wiki description, which is applcable to both the Ryde and the Portsdown https://wiki.batc.org.uk/MiniTiouner_Po ... Indication.
- The second HDMI port on the Raspberry Pi 4 is now usable as an alternative output if the primary port has a fault. Note that this is not intended as a duplicate output, just an alternative to overcome hardware failures.
- The Red and Blue buttons on the Fortec Star Remote Control can now be used to control audio volume.
To get the update, go to the ssh console menu and select the update option.
