Hi group,
Simple question. Just picked up an ATV520E. XBMC 12.1 FRODO pre-installed. I want to upgrade to Gotham. Looked through the menus but can't see any place to upgrade.
Help appreciated.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply.
So this can all be done internally on the ATV520E box. Nothing needs to be loaded on a USB stick or memory card, correct?
How did you download the ARM file onto the box?
I run Gotham on my PC and love it.

Yes, this could all be done internally on the atv520e box. You could use the built in browser to download the file and then run it with the file explorer app.
Or you COULD use a usb stick or memory stick if that's easiest for you.
Or you COULD map a drive from your android to your PC using the file explorer app and run the apk file over the network.
Any of those methods would work.

I like it, setup went fine. Having issues setting up the location in the weather, doesn't seem to hold my city info. The WiFi reception is good, picks up the router at the other end of the house just fine.
Wasn't planning on buying one until next week but they went on sale. Paid the equivalent of £37.

No I am in Canada.
XBMC runs just like it does on my PC. It came preinstalled with version 12.1 FRODO, I plan to upgrade that to Gotham shortly.

I've tested it on a movie and an NHL game from Game Center. No stuttering at all. I have a fairly fast internet cable setup, my download speed is about 5 megs per second.
