Satellite 1992 Theme

The satellite 1992 theme recreates an early 1990s analog C-band satellite receiver. The tuner shows a satellite label, channel number, and channel abbreviation in a simple text overlay. When the tuned channel changes, TVS can briefly show analog interference and can simulate a motorized dish turning to a different satellite position.

The theme uses its own tuner and audio info display. Volume, mute, and channel info fall back to the default OSD components.

Colors

Satellite 1992 uses primaryColor for the tuner text. If you do not set it, TVS uses white.

accentColor controls the text stroke around the tuner text. If you do not set it, TVS uses black.

Because this theme uses the default receiver and channel info components, those components also inherit the same colors unless you override their sections.

Theme Options

showChannelInterference

Type: boolean
Default: true

Whether TVS should briefly overlay analog interference when a positive-numbered channel is tuned. Set this to false for a cleaner receiver display.

satellite

Type: string

The default satellite name to show on the tuner OSD. Channels can override this value with their own themeOptions.satellite.

satellites

Type: object mapping satellite names to numbers

A lookup table of satellite names and motor positions. The numbers are arbitrary pulse positions; TVS compares the previous and next position and animates the dish turning at the theme’s simulated motor speed.

Example: Simulated Dish Positions

osd:
  theme: sat1992
  primaryColor: white
  accentColor: black
  themeOptions:
    showChannelInterference: true
    satellite: C1
    satellites:
      C1: 3600
      C3: 4100
      G2: 4700
      T3: 6900

channels:
- number: 12
  name: Classic Movie Feed
  abbr: CMF
  themeOptions:
    satellite: C3

- number: 18
  name: West Coast Feed
  abbr: WCF
  themeOptions:
    satellite: G2

If a channel does not set themeOptions.satellite, TVS uses the satellite from the main osd.themeOptions block. If neither is set, the tuner simply omits the satellite line.
