Knowing how to update your Boxee can be the difference between having a fun digital viewing experience and being annoyed at your machine. If you want to learn how to update your Boxee setup quickly and easily, just follow these steps. You will have your Boxee up and updated in no time at all.

  1. Turn on your Boxee. This way you can actually use your Boxee system for the update. Once your Boxee is fully running you can begin the process of updating.
  2. Open Launcher. It is from this menu that you will be able to update your Boxee from the menu.
  3. Choose Update. If you do not see update then you should select downloads. The option that you need to pick will depend on the version of Boxee that you have currently installed. It may also depend on your operating system version. So don't be afraid to be flexible. If you do not see this option try a reboot. This is a known error that some users have encountered. If after the reboot it persists you will need to contact the Boxee support line to get the help that you need.
  4. Allow your update to run. Once it is complete your system should make your reboot. If it does not ask you to reboot then you will need to do so manually. This is no different then your usual Boxee reboot.

Now that you have your Boxee updated, you can enjoy your new features and enhanced reliability. Just remember that you are going to have to keep up with the updates as you need them.
