Better to keep below 4.3 as iOS uses less resources so has more available for XBMC is the general consensus.

wicked thanks deanmv so when i get it check in setting general about look for 4.3 ? is it possible to downgrade these tvs if i need to ? thanks ....................................................br

Not without SHSH blobs which you won't have as you have to save them from each version. XBMC will work on any iOS software and personally I didn't notice much difference between pre-4.3 and post-4.3 but apparently it's the best for 4.3 or below.

it depends on what you like to have on there.
I, personally prefer the new Layout and some channels which came with 5....

But if you don't use any of them and are OK with the old layout, then try to stay with 4.3, as deanmv noted.

If you buy a new ATV2, then you should have already 5.something on there. But no worries, XBMC works extremely well under the most current version.

hi Kaiserlein i was asking about the ios as as soon as i joined the forum there were forum member having problems on the new firmware ios 5x and was wandering weather it just might be best to stick the older version if it comes with that all ready loaded on the tv thanks for the reply along with deanvm .......................br

do you think it would be better for a thank button on here ?? regards
