Does the baseline server level of the controller go up as the firmware moves closer to the radio/touch as well? Is 7.4 a one way trip? -- sander sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View

I don't really understand the question. If you run 7.4 you will get 7.4 controller firmware. If you go back to 7.3.3, you'll have to downgrade to 7.3.3 firmware. -- andyg andyg's Profile:
