Hi stasik, the reason is because I'm mostly interested to web browsing and youtube videos and I've read that, actually, there are some problems.

I watch youtube videos only via browser and with update20110804.zip I have no problem...I can tell you more that if I set browser as Ipad the resolution is higher that when browser is set as android (almost MKV resolution).
Can you change browser setting as Ipad?
 
there is no option to change browser settings at all. i just notice that when u type "youtube" it goes to "m.youtube", so its not desktop. i dont think its ipad. well, if u in 2.3 version anyway, why dont u try update20111102.zip urself and see, u are not gonna make it any worse (except data erase), i mean before u decide to go back to update20110804.zip.
 
I prepared short manual Howto add new Google Market to firmware 20111102.

1. Please download this zip file Market_apps.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
There is few files what we need:
- rootexplorer_2.16.apk
- z4root.1.3.0.apk
- Vending.apk (new Android Market v3.3.11)
2. Unzip them to USB or SDcard
3. We need to root our ATV box, so install and run z4root then take "root" button. Box can take self restart or show info that the box is rooted.
If box will restart please run z4root and look for info below if was rooted.
4. Now we install and run Root Explorer.
Importent thing: please in Root Explorer take a button Mount R/W first.
Then go to ..system/app and renamed Vending.apk to Vending.apk.bak
To rename file please hold the mouse button longer on the name.
Then go to ..data/data/com.android.vending and renamed the folder to com.android.vending.bak
5. Last step is copy new Vending.apk market from SDcard to ..system/app
We go to ..mnt/sdcard/ and hold the mouse button longer on the name Vending.apk
Push button Copy. Go to ..system/app and push Put button.
Then change permissions to this file to rw-r-r (Hold the mouse button..)
6. Hot reboot and the new market icon will appeared.

Have fun with new market :D

The question is that, actually, my firmware installed is 20110804 and I asked (who had already updated to 2.3 releases) to make the trial, to verify if it is possible to return to 20110804 or not...I've this doubt (as I wrote above).
 
Ok.
Managed to stuff the booting of my device. Now no longer boots with HDMI only component.
Can change into HDMI once unit has booted fully using settings.
Anybody have any idea how to fix this.
Thanks

Before you must update your SPI... you can do this downloading the file: update_spi20111028_all_2.3.zip (that you find above in this page) and rename as: update.zip
Then, after this first upgrade (SPI), copy your 20111102 firmware renaiming it as: update.img
and do a second upgrade (firmware)
 
the "update_alink_1019.zip" alink fw is perfectly upgraded, with online system update, to latest alink 20111102.155840 build number firmware, and updated the uboot, and the recovery too.

If you have not yet resolved, you could try with factory data reset and eventually
with a reinstallation of firmware
 
Already done so as well as various firmwares and SPI. Looks like there is some low level corruption in the device.

u r not doing anything wrong. my wifi keyboard did not work aswell. i just connected my wired keyboard from pc and was able to select menu #3.
 
could you please explain step by step, like to a moron, how to get to play video from samba??? please please please...

i get as far as installed File Expert, search for samba, find samba, see file, click on video and select "video" nothing fappens. if i click and hold on file, then select "open with" -> video player, its open in browser and say it can not download.

also if i open network, i can see the folder, click on it to get the green tick, go to video player but its empty.

what do i need to do to make it working????

The apk network work fine, with update20111102.

There are 2 ways to play in samba:

1) With the apk Network.

a) Run Network
b) Click first icon (scan red)
c) Select Folder Samba
d) Click first icon
e) Click in select Folder (Wait 2-3 seconds if it fails, click again)

2) With the apk CifsManager can mount any samba folder of our network and very easy.

a) Download apk cifsmanager of Market
b) Run cifmanager
c) F1
d) Add share folder
My Example:
192.168.1.88/downloads
/mnt/cifs
guest
Click to expand...
e) Save share
f) click in share.
g) In apk video player, enter cifs folder and select video.

3) Also use the apk MXVideoPlayer + Codec ARM7 and works well but it is better to Geniatech apk, no cuts in streaming.

Salu2.
 
kgdteam, big kiss to you and thanks a lot.
i had success with CifsManager.!!!
mxvideoplayer dont play smooth, not even 720p.
but i still dont know how to do it via Network. what do you mean "Click first icon (scan red)"? when i start Network, it says "searching" then i see the samba file. all i can do is click on it, nothing more. i clicked on it, went to video player, but no success. coulod u provide with a print screen?

Thnaks again, u made my day:)
