Not sure if this is the correct forum. Broke some atv2s in the past. Just got a used first generation atv. Someone upgraded it to an 80gb drive. Has XBMC 11 eden installed. All the addons I like to use don't work. Do I have to upgrade XBMC? I have never messed with the first generation. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Only if you boot from a USB drive when you want new XBMC.

I decided to boot from a USB instead of installing it on the hdd. Used an 8gb stick and downloaded the image on a windows computer. Created the stick. Followed the instructions and set the box to RGB high. plugged in the usb stick.....rebooted and the openelec image shows up then get an error message "k: need terminal for interactive repairs"
