L and M using for Linux based models ( M by 2WIRE ).

"Looks like they changed it. Must of been a typo?"

That's what it looks like. Smith checked both bin files and they are the same for both PIDs. Someone made a type mistake at E*.

Are there any new features in P405

**RandallA** · 03-13-2008 11:23 AM

For notes on the software updates, we'll need Scott to post them or E* to send them to him. I haven't seen any release notes and we've had quite a few software updates this week.

Does Dish publish what was updated/new features, etc for the updates or they just sent to Scott?

Look at the thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-net...es-thread.html and you'll find Mxxx versions and models.

Real info still classified; we're getting very narrow filtered data by PR ppl .

Would be interesting to find designated letters in spooling FW IDs.

For sure third letter "T" means test.

There should be a sign of mandatory and not, phase spool or for all.

I just saw this in the Tech. Portal. I'm just wondering if they will finally turn on the EHD on the 211s. Team Summit is coming soon so I'm hoping this is it.

5/7/2008: 1000 Software Version L4.38 for ViP 211/DISH 411

Effective Thursday, May 8th, Engineering plans to spool a PARTIAL PHASE of software version L4.38 for the ViP 211/DISH 411 receiver. This is primarily a non-forced maintenance release available at ALL satellite locations.
At this time L4.37 and L4.38 will be the valid software versions for the ViP 211/DISH 411.
