Download and installation
Please be advised: you can only install SideWinder 2 firmware on SideWinder 2 Xtreamer media player.
Unlike with our previous models you will need some kind of local storage for online firmware upgrade since the file is 3 times bigger than version 2 firmware.
There are two ways to upgrade the firmware on your SideWinder 2.
You can go to Settings -> Firmware upgrade and choose "Check for Firmware" option. If your Xtreamer SideWinder 2 is connected to the Internet and there is an update available the player will automatically download and install the firmware.
Or you can download it manually:
http://download.xtre..._SW2_3.0.9.xtr2***
