I would not upgrade to 12.3 as is does not have hardware decoding for Android. The pre installed version of 12.2 on your ATV 520E is a customized version made by Mygica which has Hardware decoding. I would just stick with the pre installed version if your are looking to stick to using Frodo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flow99 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 hi Justin, I'm interested in using dixie TVguide which requires 12.3 or above. What's your advice to gain access to the dixie TVguide then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can always use XBMC 13.2 ARM Edition for Android. It has built in Hardware acceleration Which can be found here. http://xbmc.org/download/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use a VPN myself, but mainly to get USA netflix, I use www.unblock-us.com Its only costing me $5 a mth, its an added cost to the $9.99 Netflix subscription, however I find this is the best VPN I have used, with zero downtime so far in the 6 mths I have been using it USA Netflix has much better content and selection over the Canadian version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xbmc4u 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2014 "I use a VPN myself, but mainly to get USA netflix, I use www.unblock-us.com" This is NOT a VPN service. It's a DNS hijack with a reverse proxy in specific regions. That is why unblock-us needs to add support whenever there is a new Geo-IP blocking website. A VPN will allows advertise a US IP while use unblock-us will only make that happen for specific domains. Netflix being it's largest driver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
