    Hello. I’ve had no problems with my U5 since I bought it. I went out for vacation and since returning, the U5 had a black screen. Unplugged and waited for 5 mins and when plugging it back, it loads the BuzzTV animated screen logo and then goes back to black. After about 4 minutes it restarts and does the same thing again. Any suggestions regarding what I should do? Thanks!

    Does the U5 have Multi Server Connection Support, like the Power Station and the Linux Player has?

    I thought I seen something on here where you could use your computer to enter a URL on your U5 box. I did all kinds of searches and cannot find anything on it. Could someone please explain to me how to do this or am I just imagining I seen this somewhere?

    Hello all Helping a friend setup his new U5 box. (remotely) Has entered server URL properly (I verified via facetime call, no typos) Saves portal info Goes back to main screen and selects "Live TV" And the box just flips instantly to the server settings page. No Loading portal message I'd normally expect I've never seen this before. Any suggestions? Any possibility internet provider is blocking the server IP range? Oh, Internet to the box is good. Hardwired and YouTube plays fine.

    Does anyone know a way to easily move downloaded or recorded movies from one internal hard drive to another on the U5 models or any Buzz models ? Seems the formatted internal drives can not be moved from one box to another. Is it possible to link the U5 as a Server on internet and send the recordings or downloads to another box ? We need an easy way to do this. I tried a Copy HDD unit where you can install a blank SSD and the removed internal SSD of the Box into this HDD Copy Unit. Files were moved but the Buzz units did not see the files.

    Hi everyone. Where would I see a difference between this box and the base b5 box? Would I see an improvement in speed/stability in the TV guide? Would I see a difference between in the VOD area? On my b5 I have to refresh the lists a lot and there are issues in the saved series. So not sure if it is the box or the service. Any other ways I would see a difference between the boxes?

    Is there any issue using a microSD card for extra storage vs an SSD/HDD? MicroSD cards are pretty cheap and easier for me to format. Is there a size limit? I'm thinking I only need 256GB.

    I'm using a Samsung for more than a year. It worked perfectly until my drive was nearly half full. Now it often behaves as if i'm out of recording space. The record feature won't start. Upon deleting some of my least favorite movies, games and shows, it works perfectly for awhile until i get closer to half full again. Once i get closer to half full the issue begins anew and i delete more movies.

    I purchased Buzz TV E5 and an iptv subscription. When I press the "series " button on the remote it then shows me three headings: All Series, Favourites and Recently Watched. Everything is empty. Should this be.

  24. Just bought the u5, the light in the front goes from blue to red after 15mins or so... Is there a way just to have it stay blue and on? It stayed on and blue until I restarted it with my 4900... I checked the settings but can't seem to find that setting... I must be dumber than I thought...😂 Thank you

    This issue has been happening for a few weeks now, and I can't link it to any event, such as a firmware update. When I turn it on and go to LiveTV, the volume is at the Max setting. It startles everyone in the house! It's getting really annoying, and I've looked everywhere in the settings and can't seem to find anything that fixes it. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks! Here are specs on my box: U5 128 Firmware Version: V20230815 Current IPTV Version: 5.0.935
