Just tried, says no update available. When will it be rolled out to everyone?

Its being slowly rolled out, but you can grab it now if you want...

Your Boxee Box will automatically prompt you(when available) to download the latest firmware at start-up. You can also check to see if there is a newer version of the firmware(without a restart) by going to Settings > System > Check for new version of Boxee.
If you are still having trouble then you can download the firmware to a PC, copy it to a flash drive, and then install the firmware on the Boxee Box. Just following these instructions:

1. Download the latest Boxee Box firmware at <a href="http://www.boxee.tv/download/boxeebox">http://www.boxee.tv/download/boxeebox. The downloaded file will be named boxee.iso, and that name must be maintained.
2. Copy the boxee.iso file to a thumb drive. Make sure to properly eject the flash drive after copying the file.
3. Power down the Boxee Box.
4. Power up the Boxee Box by pressing and holding the power button for 6-10 seconds. Upon release, the Box will boot with the logo turned orange.
5. After the Recovery Menu appears, connect your thumb drive to the Boxee Box, wait 2 seconds, then select Upgrade from USB from the menu, and follow on-screen instructions.

The version from Boxee is the new update.

"Settings > System > Check for new version of Boxee"

That is what I did - no new update. I'll wait a day or two, and then DL on PC if need be.

Thanks Scott!
