The only thing I don't like compared to the ATV2 is that in XBMC the video does not stop playing when you press the back key. This is annoying. I read that you can put in keyboard xml code to do this but am unsure of how to do this on the FTV.
Has anyone got any ideas? Would really appreciate some help.
Cheers,

1. You bought an FTV with XBMC? As in, you paid extra to have XBMC pre-installed?
2. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Alt..._TV_remote
Edit: I checked eBay and there are, indeed, numerous listings for Fire TV with XBMC pre-installed for a $50 markup. Sad. Some ads even advertise the FTV as being jailbroken.
Colin: If you bought one of these, I'd recommend returning it (maybe complain about their false claim about the box being jailbroken, because it's not). Then, buy an FTV directly from Amazon for $50 less, so it has a real warranty, and follow the steps at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Ama...Installing and spend 10 minutes installing XBMC.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE ECLIPSE
THANKS....
Follow steps at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Ama...Installing. It will walk you through everything.
Thanks for the advice on Keymap. I did pay more than RRP but I'm in the UK and bought one locally. Less hassle/time receiving it and no import charges. Guess if it goes wrong I am screwed though.
