  7. Is it a good idea to save a bunch of show, mostly series or 24/7 categories as favourites on say a B5 or any BT5 box? So like on guy probably has save 100 or so favourites. Is that advisable? I told him just get a Princess Auto Keyboard and search your series/ 24/7 and us them directly. Like each favourite is it taking much memory? What is the best way to manage this?

  9. I have both a micro SD card formatted through the buzz utilities and I also have a Kinston USB stick. I have tried setting both as the default. But some of my recordings get cut off, or only the fist 30 secs... just curious if anyone else has seen this issue?

    I need a simple IPTV box for my 90 year old mother in-law she only watches a few channels. I have a BuzzTV XR4500 and a BuzzTV X5 C and love them both I have recommended them to others. I wonder if the B5 would be a good choice for her to just watch IPTV at $99.99 Canadian it seems like a pretty good deal and the IR 100 is good I don't use my BuzzTV BT400 it's in a drawer. I also don’t want to use a third party app for her to watch IPTV, to confusing so that narrows it down and BuzzTV 5 is so easy to use and a great interface. Anyone have any feedback on this box?

    Hello folks, I am coming from a Mecool m8 box to a B5. Could you help with a few questions. 1 - B5 has 2G ram and I prefer to close apps after running. On Mecool long press home and current running app list comes up and can be closed from there. Can't find any info on doing that on B5 (Google, knowledge base etc) 2 - Is there a detailed manual on B5 OS more than quick start. 3 - Any suggestions for an EPG when using free m3u github iptv list. Many thanks, Art

    My new B5 randomly blanks the Lg C3 oled screen ever so briefly perhaps once in 10 min. This never occurred with my Mecool m8 and other boxes. Anyone faced the same issue.

    Hi, I’m a new user of a buzzbox and im very impressed with the Iptv functionality but I’m struggling a bit using any additional streaming apps. (BBC iPlayer, itv x, even the google browser app is a bit annoying) as I have to keep activating the pointer function on my remote and floating around to click on stuff. does anybody know if it’s possible and (preferably) easy to install the android tv versions of these apps as the play store and aptoid that come on the box will only seem to install the mobile app version! I’ve emailed support and they advised this is normal? (Which I thought was a bit odd) Any insight or work arounds greatly appreciated! Thank…

  15. Hi everyone. Can I buy the Bt-400 remote to use with my B5?? I really hate the IR line of sight remote.

  16. I received my new B5, everything was fine, the first update was correct, I put in the info from my provider, I watched television for a couple of hours, then it did another update and now it says: it can't load the portal: not supported? Why if it was working before? And I even took a video to send to a friend and then nothing could be seen until it went away completely, without changing any configuration.

    Fully updated B5, tried an 1 terabyte ssd, a 64 gig jump drive, all formatted by the B5. Live TV won't timeshift, and freezes after a few mins and flashes "timeshift error stream not available". Only had the box about a month, time shift worked great first 2 weeks, now not at all. Live TV works flawlessly with timeshift off. Checked the forum here, tried all the recommended fixes, but still no luck.

    Is there a size restriction on the external SD slot memory size you can use on the B5. I could get a 64GB to work but not a 128GB. Should it take one that size 128 and bigger or is it maybe the card itself. Also is there a general guide to adding storage? I look around (read) in the mean time

    I have a couple B5 units that won't install the latest update. Receive the notification that an update is available, select Download & Install, get 'Preparing system update' and there it stays. I've tried factory resetting a couple of times but to no avail. I don't mind not being on the latest version but there is a constant popup stating that there is an update available and asking if I'd like to install it. Any suggestions?
