T2-MI (T2MI) PLP scan support has been added to the Octagon SF8008. You probably do not need this feature if you have to ask or do not know what it is.
Also, a bad commit was made to the blindscan plugin which may cause the loss of the feature after doing an online image update. Some users feel the need to update every time an update is available. OpenATV usually updates daily, but bad commits such as the blindscan plugin may also be in these daily updates. It is always a good idea to backup the whole image as least once a week so you will have a restore point if an update has problems. A better idea is to not update the image everyday. On an average, maybe 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 updates will have something useful for North America, so why update everyday?
