4.4.4 seems to suck more system resources away from XBMC. Until we can figure out a way around that, for the sake of a smoother XBMC experience (especially when using subtitles), it's best to hang back on 4.3.

....or, just wait for the new and improved Apple TV that may be coming in early March Wink

When it does come out we'll have to wait for a jailbreak to appear and then a port of XBMC to the new ATV. These things can take a long time ....

Has been done any progress in installing 4.3 in devices that have been shipped with 4.4.4?

fwiw I used XBMC on 4.3 and it worked fine, but on 4.4.4 I do get the odd boot out of XBMC. It usually happens straight away, and only very rarely when something is playing so it's not a huge hassle. I usually use the BBC iPlayer plugin and that hasn't crashed once.

Not necessarily, though, right? If it's a totally different thing, then yeah, I agree...but if it's pretty much the same box, runs the current iOS, etc, then wouldn't it basically be identical to the current one for all intents and purposes?

If you have the shsh blob for 4.3, it's easy. BUT Apple stopped signing them so if you have not grabbed it with tiny umbrella (http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com) , it's too late.
