    Default Forced Firmware Problem

    So after the forced to 1.2 firmware today I see that one of the main options in the set up menu is gone.
    'Hide feeds not availible in your country'

    Where has this gone and more importantly why has it been taken off ?

    Can you downgrade firmware to 1.1 ?

    I need this feature !!!!!!

    Thx

    Once you connect to a country's VPN, the apps for that country are supposed to show up.

    See this post about downgrading: http://forums.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=40772

    From Boxee Jira:

    Eli Schwartz [Boxee] added a comment - 31/Jul/11 12:00 PM
    In the latest version of Boxee we've removed the "Hide feeds/content
    from other countries which are not available" option from the Settings
    menu.

    we are contractually obligated to content partners to restrict access to their app in countries where they are not available.
    Running Boxee Box firmware: 1.5.1.23735

    Understood but it was always nice to see what we couldn't get !!!.
    This is such a great product I just hope that it continues to grow without sacrificing what it currently does
