Every time I turn it on or off the damn thing, it flashes the letters "D U I" at me.

Perhaps it's a message from the future?

Or my cable box is becoming sentient.

It's like that Star Trek episode where they could only send a three character message back through time to avert catastrophe.
Except instead of 3, yours is D U I.

Of course! The nacelle geometry is causing the rift and channeling the message through time.

Though we need to keep an eye on the power grid so the energy flux doesn't short it out.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

We need to recalibrate the sensor array, maybe we can amplify the signal.

That's tricky stuff there HC, the legal implications as well as violating the Prime Directive.
You might want to re buffer the transporter to mask the signal if you try and spirit them away.
