211/411 - L2.62 Software Release Notes and Discussion

[leestoo]

I had to turn my 411 off today to move it and when I plugged it back in, I got L262.

Is there any info on any fixes on enhancedments?

What on earth is this in reference to? I seem to have lost my magic decoder ring.:)

I believe this item refers to the new policy that if you do not subscribe to HD content from Dish, the OTA tuner will be disabled unless you pay a $6 "HD Enabling" fee. I think this means that "HD Enabling/Disabling" has been activated.

Aha. That makes sense.

Unfortunately my HD Local downmapping does not work, and Dish Support cannot help me resolving the issue.

Why is this thread still a sticky. 211 is up to 2.66 release now.
