    Of course some things would be different, such as the specs and etc, but the options and setups should be the same in most cases and similar in other cases.

I saw that some users were having some boot up issues after this install.
I have held off loading this new Firmware just yet.

But as a tester for our community, I will load this up here in next couple hours and see for myself :)

Started with v20200525
Updated to v20210126

Update file size = 813.10 MB
My download speed = 2.4 to 2.8 MB/s
Time to complete download = approx 7 minutes

Download completed and the next step of 'Checking for File Integrity' took approx 5 seconds and then the VidStick rebooted and the update started it's install, which took approx 3 minutes and VidStick rebooted again onto the Buzz splash screen.
Then approx 30 seconds later the startup proceeded and landed back onto Home/Launcher screen.


Update was a complete success with no issues seen :)
