    Your Boxee Box automatically prompts (if available) to download the latest firmware at boot time. You can also check to see if a new version of firmware (without rebooting), go to Settings> Check> System for the new version of Boxee Box.

    If you are still having trouble then you can download the firmware to a PC, copy it to a flash drive, and then install the firmware on the Boxee Box. Just following these instructions:
    • Download the latest firmware update Boxee Box from the Boxee Box firmware Update. The downloaded file will be called boxee.iso, and that the name should be kept
    • Copy the file boxee.iso to a USB drive. Be sure to correctly extract the flash drive after copying the file
    • Switch Off the Boxee Box.
    • Turn on the Boxee Box by pressing and holding the power button for 6-10 seconds. After his release, the box will start with the logo turned orange
    • After the recovery menu, connect your flash drive to the Boxee box, wait 2 seconds, then select USB update menu and follow the onscreen instructions

    It worked well for me. As last week, Boxee failed to connect to the Internet and network shows extremely little Wi-Fi signal strength, but neighbors give the impression to contain 3 full bars, while two Wi-Fi was showing a bar. I tried to restore factory settings, which worked well, but it will not upgrade to the latest firmware. To start downloading and reach about 90% and left alone. So I'm glad I was able to find this unofficial version for a manual update. I hope this fixes the small number of problems I've been experiencing lately.
