U5

Guys I have a big problem, I have (2) U5’s so I purchased (2) Samsung 1TB SSD to use as storage for any recording I want. I formatted them exfat on my computer and installed them in my U5 boxes. Both the U5’s recognized the SSD, and I set them up as removable storage, I recorder 2 programs to each of them. I played all 4 recordings and everything worked great. Later on I checked on them and discover it was saying Samsung USB drive is safely ejected, Samsung USB drive not connected! (I NEVER EJECTED THEM) When I remove the drives, reboot my U5 and try to install them again the U5 doesn’t see them. And the thing that troubles me even more, whe…

I was having issues with the screen freezing and of course buffering on my U5. On a whim, I bought the ifi LAN iSilencer and installed one at my Comcast/Xfinity router, and another at my Verizon router, I have two ISPs, two different internet services, so two of these ifi units in my case. The freezing and buffering issues are not 100% gone, but I would say 90% is. We have watched TV for hours at a time in the past week without one single freeze on multiple channels. And my troublesome channels, the freezing issue is now not that big a deal. It will freeze at times, but now it is momentary, and pops right back. Check out one of these ifi LAN iSilencer units, they work on …

I posted this on the BuzzTV FB with no success. I have a problem with my U5/32 that’s just started in the last few days. I have my box set to “suspend on power down”, and it’s been working fine until the last few days, but lately -when I go to restart it (after being off for a while) it doesn’t respond to the power button on the remote and I have to manually unplug the power cord, then plug it back in to restart the device. I’ve put new batteries in the remote, so I know that’s not the issue. Any ideas?

I am looking at getting the u5 will it be getting buzztv6 or staying on 5

Hello All, I've been using streaming boxes as a hobby for many years and have had very expensive ones as well as budget devices. I recently became aware of the Buzz Tv line of products, and am quite impressed by the specs and build quality of what I've seen. I've narrowed down my purchase choices to the X5 Special Edition with 128 GB of storage or the new U5 model. I will also be ordering the Air Mouse remote to use with it. I was hoping for some feedback from experienced users of Buzz TV and what you see as the major differences between these two models. Thank for any thoughts that you may wish to share.

Hello everyone, Here is the problem that i am noticing for the last month or so and here are the steps i took to debug it. 1. Full restart of U5 2. force to stop Plex (this is the app i use to mange and watch all my movie libraries) 3. Make sure i am on the latest firmware for the app and the unit. Problem is for whatever reason the U5 has been having slowdowns while watching new movies in my collection. They start playing fine but then every 10-15minutes i get little loading icon in the middle of the screen that shows the precashing of the movie OR it indicates that connection is slow and its unable to pull the moves from my local PC conn…

I finally broke out my U5 box and have all my programs installed. When the update notice pops up, I click on the download and install, the last time clicked on it, it set there for at least 35 minutes doing what you see. How long do I wait? What do I do? I can back out of it, but it pops back up.

I have an LG smart TV I get the image for home screen, but when I select YouTube I can hear the audio, but get no picture. When I connect the box to a different TV I can get the image with no problem

When I watch an episode from a serie it's added to recently watched. But the episodes from the same serie are not grouped together. Each episode which is watched display a new icon cover. Definitely all episodes from the same serie should be regrouped in the same icon cover.

I started a recording while watching TV. The issue is when I turned off the TV. I assume the CEC also turned off the BuzzTV. Is there a way to keep it on until the end of the recording? I know PVR+ will turn on the box to record, so staying on while recording shouldn't be a stretch. Worst case, I suppose I can disable CEC.

Guys lately i notice sometimes if im on a service and leave it by going home and do something else when i press back to live its black screen have guide can flip thru the channels but no video or audio having to refresh or having to loging back to the service This is on Mac....weird Im on ver 5.0.922 Firm v20240203

Hello, I have BuzzTV U5 Launch Edition and the 1 TB Western Digital drive (that came with it) is constantly ejected. The only way to get the BuzzTV to re-mount the hard drive again is to factory reset the BuzzTV box. The hard drive will be operational for a few hours and then will be ejected by Android again. I have done this factory-reset cycle 4-5 times now. Has anybody experienced this before? Thanks, Jason

Someone could please explain me why I have these screens ? Thank you very much

I can not change the color space setting it's greyed. It's stucked on YCbCr420. Not a problem from my TV, because on the others devices I can change this option. Could you please fix it on next release ?

After launching Auto TV setup and configure the sound option you can not shutdown/reboot the box anymore with the power button of the remote. Because the power button of the remote shut down the TV and not the box (after launching the Auto TV setup, before all works fine). The HDMI-CEC from TV send the shutdown signal to the box. To be able to shutdown/reboot the box, the power button of the remote should send the shutdown signal to the box and the box should send the HDMI-CEC shutdown signal to the TV. Now I use the HDMI-CEC option on, without the Auto TV setup, all works fine, except I can not control the TV volume with the box remote. Is there an soluti…

- it should be a menu with alternative DNS choice (see attached picture), because many problems with ISP DNS (I know we can change settings in router, but I will be more easy to have this option on the box) - it should be an option in the box to disable IPV6

Tried to connect to my iptv supplier with MAC and got this message : Unable to load portal : not supported It's really sad that the portal works with Buzztv Essential E1 and not with the latest Buzztv U5 ... In my point of view, what is working with previous generation box with buzztv 4, should work with new generation box with buzztv 5 Definitely not a portal issue in my point of view

What's are these new boxes going to be available? I saw where they are coming out with some new ones and BuzzTV 6.

Hi I am thinking of buying Buzztv U 5 . Any issues with this device? Instant recording ?Iptv playing ?

It first happened about 6 weeks ago then 2 weeks ago. Now it has happened 2 days in a row. When I turn on the U5 I have it set to go to live tv. The issue is when it is finished its start up procedure I have no video or sound. I have a loaded guide which shows me which channel I am on, I can change channels but still no video or sound. Changing severs does not make a difference. Menu works. Home button works. I have cleared all caches. On Kodi I get sound but no video. Turning off and back on does not work. To get it to work I have to pull the power and plug it back in. Hopefully I do not have to do a reset and lose everything saved. Any suggestion…

Guide will not organize favorites it is showing the station number of the folder instead 1 ,2,3 and so on it is to show on the home page and were able to move them in order this is happening on a 4900 and a U5 Buzz is getting low reviews with Troy point and other sites also.

I have a BuzzTv U5 box that is fully up to date and have successfully added an M3u Playlist to the Live TV Section and that works fine. My issue is with the EPG. It continually says that it is loading, yet it never loads. I've tried refreshing and everything else I can think of yet nothing seems to help. I use the very same Playlist with TiviMate and the EPG is always up to date. I like the BuzzTv Live app a little better and the Record function looks a little better and would prefer to use it over the TiviMate record function which never seems to work. Is there someone who might have any suggestions to get the EPG to fully load? Thanks.

Last few Days with 3 different IPTV providers every time I try to change stations the box freezes Clear cache everyday, Clear EPG still have to refresh box or must reboot. Is this happening to any one else with BuZZ boxes.

I was wondering i try to recond something and the steam will be fine but it will stop and fo a thumbnail but it will say still recording on the top of the screen
