WD Legacy Products WD TV Themes

I’m still on the firmware that came with my WD HUB when i bought it (2.06.10). I’m afraid to upgrade it because i think no themes, like Joeys Aeonish Media Flag theme that i love and use will not work anymore.  But there have been so many fixes and enhancements in the last few firmware upgrades that im rly  tempted to update.  If i update to the latest firmware what themes would i be still able to use? 

Thanks!

mine (Black Mamba) works with 2.06.10 upwards and will always be adjusted to work with the mos recent version.

there are lots of new features in the new firmware if you care for the web services at all , i really started to enjoy them and use them quite often . Despite several reports it runs absolutely stable for me. My Live hub is idle for aproximately a month or so and did never cause me any bigger headaches. You can always downgrade your firmware .
