There are a lot of good people on this thread who I will be forever grateful to for their help and information. I've found this one and other threads to be extremely helpful, but, if people can't be bothered to do their own research or read a few pages of a thread which gives specific examples (with direct links!) which answers their question, then I don't see why anyone would bother to help them. Probably can't be bothered to read the reply either... Anyway, rant over. I'll see ye on the next thread about this topic when the admins inevitably close this one down.......just like the others.....

BandMember wrote: » Thanks a million for that, I wasn't sure. Going to update to 15.2 in the next few days (I think that's the most stable recent release?) as I've been using the pre-installed XBMC for Minix which is Gotham but a lot of the new add ons are no longer compatible with it, unfortunately.....
bazzz wrote: » No bother,make sure just to keep a backup before you update.....just in case anything goes wrong.Jarvis might be stable enough 15.2 was never great.But you can try them all anyway,once you keep a backup spare.
BandMember wrote: » Yeah, I've got a back up saved on a memory stick so it'll only take a few seconds to sort out. I thought that 15.2 was more stable than 16.0, no? I've read a lot of people posting about having issues with Jarvis and it's obviously not a great release when they've gone on to release 17.0 already.....or maybe I'm wrong.....
bazzz wrote: » Jarvis is stable,even more so than Isengard in my opinion.I've been using Jarvis on multiple devices/OS's since early Beta's and have not really had any issues.Even Krypton is not so bad currently,but it is a long way off.Jarvis & Krypton might cause issues on some lower spec Android devices with the likes of Acceleration.But try Jarvis and see how it goes with your setup.

UK’s Police’s Intellectual Property Unit (PIPCU) has made a tiny dent in this illicit market after arresting several individuals said to be involved in the sale of ‘pirate’ boxes configured to stream content including movies and sport. Following the execution of seven search warrants at as many locations in the north of England (Consett, Lanchester, Washington, Gateshead, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Seamer), six people were arrested. Police say that a 37 year-old man targeted in Sunderland was arrested on suspicion of distributing an unauthorized decoder, money laundering and making and/or supplying items for use in fraud. The investigation, which was carried out with the assistance of Trading Standards and the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), led to the seizure of 42 “illegally modified” set-top boxes configured to receive subscription-only TV.
