I have just released Portsdown Software update 201910103. This is an important update because it restores the regular updating of the software packages (this had to be temprarily disabled due to compatibility issues). As such, it will take a while on Steps 4 - 7, so please allow it at least 30 minutes. It also has these new features/bug fixes:

Adds a button (Menu 3, System Config) to enable composite video output with a 7 inch screen fitted (thanks to G7JTT)
Adds separate attenuator and lime/express level buttons on Menu 1
Sets the attenuator properly from the Console Menu (thanks G6MNJ)
Improves OMX Player performance with the LongMynd receiver
Allows independent tuner input selection for satellite and terrestrial RX (thanks G7JTT)
Includes error checking for the Sat LNB offset (thanks G0MJW)
Allows Terrestrial LongMynd receive frequencies to be stored correctly (thanks G4FRE)
LeanDVB is now selected from its own button on Menu 2 (thanks G4XAT)
Adds a 12-hourly reboot for keyed TX mode

If you have a 3.5 inch screen and find that you have no composite video output after the update, please go to the console menu and reselect Waveshare as your display; this will cure the problem.

Please report any other problems here.
