  3. Hi there! I got a classic 5 box and wanted to install SurfShark Vpn as my ISP gives me trouble. I've installed on Formuler Z8 and Z11 and it works like a charm. However, when I wanted to install it on classic 5 (way more recent than Formuler Z8!), Google Play says it's not available for it!!! May be I'm wrong but classic 5 is not an android box? How come it's not supported? Does anyone have a way to install it (like with apk or something else?). I have licence and all! Thanks Fred

  5. When I turn off my TV using my TV remote, it changes the channel on my STB. Even when I turn off my TV using the button on the TV, it changes the channel on my STB. This being the case, I cant start a recording and go to bed because I know shutting off my TV will stop the recording and change the channel on my STB. The only workaround that I've found, and it's not a good one, is to leave my TV on all night. Does anyone know a better workaround?

    Trying to record content from my IPTV subscription. I’ve tried a scheduled event and a direct recording using the RED button on my remote. It goes through the motions, but I’m unable to find any recordings. I have a friend who is having the same problem. Yes, I have the latest firmware. Suggestions?

    Just bought The Classic 64GB. When we turn the box off with the remote, we can't get the box to turn back on (using the remote power button OR the side power button on the box), and the only way to get it to turn back on is by unplugging the box and plugging it back in. We discovered that the specific issue is if you set the power button on the remote to put the box to SLEEP. There are no issues (the box will turn on and off with no problems) if we have the power button set to SHUT DOWN the box instead. But we would rather the power button on the remote put the box to sleep. Can anyone recommend a fix, or is there an issue with our new box? Details: …

    Just curious, was the "AppInstaller" app that used to be included been removed from the firmware images ? I have a friend who for some reason could no longer boot her Classic after the last firmware update. She brought me it today when I saw her, I brought it home and I could not get it to fully boot, it would go through the boot animations and all, go to the last logo, but then when it typically goes dark and then starts the Buzz Launcher, well it would stay dark. Tried deleting cache from recovery screen, param directory and cache, but made no difference. Decided to just do a factory reset and all came up as expected, and the latest firmware was already in…

    I have 2 Classic 5's. On Box #1 the BT-250 controls the Classic 5 and TV, as well as my Home Theatre using the source (power) and Source Vol+ & Vol- controlling sound on the Home Theatre device. I want to do the same on Box #2, substituting a sound bar for the Home theatre device. (The sound bar has power & vol+ / Vol- on both the device and remote). No problem programming Box and TV power on Box #2 BT-250 but I can't get the remote to control the Sound Bar's power and volume using Source, Vol+, Vol-. Can someone who has done this on a sound bar, walk me through the steps? Please and thank you. ...Bill...

    Hello, I have a new Buzz TV Classic box. I set the box up and it did all the updates. When I try and watch a movie on VOD I get this message, "Unknown Stream Error", the movies will not play. It seems when the Buzz box does the final update then the problem is created. I have reset the box twice and still have this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Raymond

    I just bought a BuzzTV Classic. Downloaded a few Apps (Global TV, TSN, Sportsnet, CBC Gem). I'd like to be able to record something, but when I press the record button, nothing happens. I'm likely overlooking something simple and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've downloaded the manual, but it's really more of a quickstart guide than a manual. Not sure if a more detailed manual exists.
