This is probably a dumb question, but how does one go about updating to any newer versions of xbmc for apple tv 2G? Eventually a newer version must come out, so how do I get the latest when it does?

My default way of knowing if a new release is out is either
a) check the forum. If someone is talking about an update then i usually assume there is a new release
b) every day putty (or other method of ssh) into the device..
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
if it says there is an upgrade from XBMC then i type yes

dunno if there will be explicit posts about new version, but it's nice to know what Davilla is working on

It is pre-order.. Do you have an early access?

You can already install it if you pay for it, but it is still in beta.

is there any update already? I put that into putty and it did load some stuff saying this "update would take a certain amount of size, would you like to continue, y\n"
hit no, because not sure what this was. did anyone else get a update?

They are basic upgrades to the core files in unix.... zip and others.. doesnt seem to hurt if you hit yes..

Can I do this update Wirelessly or do i need to connect the box to my computer?
I cant seem to find where to do it via the menu system. Anyone got a dummies guide on how to do this....

Yes you can do it wirelessly but it can't be done from within XBMC. Check out the stickies at the top of this forum about how to install. You can skip to the part about "Installing the Latest Nightly Build".
