    Hey everyone, Before i make a purchase, is anyone able to test Aspecta Cinema Player on this. Just want to see how well it does with the dynamic tone mapping. Theres a free 7 day trial. Just works as an external player to emby, jellyfin, etc. Or just open a file with. Want to see if it works with 4k remux files. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aspectacinema.player&pcampaignid=web_share

  2. Last couple of nights I haven't been able to see the TV guide. When I hit guide on the buzz remote it kicks me to my server settings. I select the server and it shows it refreshing etc then goes to the guide, but no info. can't see any shows ahead or behind? Doesnt matter which server I use. same issue. I use the 3 line button on the remote to refresh and nothing changes. Goes back to single channel. Thoughts?

    Well it is coming up on 2 years with, what I thought was going to be my dream machine. Well it didn't work out that way, and I will be moving in a different direction. I purchased a BuzzTV Classic and it works flawlessly. Same account, same provider. Catchup works, channel change works, basically everything just works. That doesn't seem like too much to ask of a TV box. I am not sure why you were not able to get the P6 working equally as well after almost 2 years, but you have not. Thanks for all the work though.

    I thought it would be great to have a place to report Bugs and if someone has a workaround, post that also. I will repost the Bugs I mentioned in another post, and the workarounds I was told, or found. If you find another Bug, please add it to this post and hopefully they will get addressed.

    I have a Fire Tv set. Anything I plug in to one of the three HDMI ports can be controlled by my Fire TV remote including my Buzx TV U5 box. I have tried everything I can think of but am unable to control my Powerstation ? Any suggestions Thank you, Jeff

    Here's another issue I am having with recording besides the end time not changing with P6. I go thru the process of recording a baseball game last night. I turned the box off and started it back up about an hour later, I like to do this with a well known streaming app that has Live TV channels so that I can skip over the commercials. I am able to watch the game from the beginning while the recording continues. I turned the box back on went to the recording to watch while I assumed that I could do the same thing and it stopped recording at the time I turned the Box back on?? what's up with that? I would think you shouldn't have to keep the box off to complete a recording.

    I tried to do a recording last night on BuzzTv Powerstation 6 Unlimited and it kept failing. It couldn't see the internal storage or my WD NVME 2TB. I tried rebooting, I tried unseating the NVME no luck. The TV menu was also acting slow to go sideways. Any thoughts?

  9. AVR interaction with the PS6 has been the subject (or side discussion) of several topics on this forum as well as other forums since the PS6 hit the market with some PS6 users unable to resolve their problems and either giving up on the PS6 or living with less than desirable situations. I have started a separate topic on the subject here to bring focus on the issue in one place. Also, my family members have grown to despise the PS6 and long for the simpler days of Fire Sticks connected to all our screens (ugh!!) so I feel the need to resolve this somehow. As described in other topics here, we have a Yamaha AVR. This seems to be common with some (but not all) oth…

  10. Hi, So I have a new P6 and am experiencing something I find strange. Every morning my tv is turned on automatically since the connection of the P6 Ultimate and have been unable to find any setting that controls this feature. So fare the only method to keep the tv powered off until required is to unplug the HDMI cable. Any ideas to fix would be appreciated. Frank

    I just purchased my buzztv powerstation 6 and set it up. However, my tv screen constantly blinks. Sometimes this happens every 30 seconds or so and sometimes it blinks every couple of minutes. This issue has never occurred before with my tv and only started when using the buzztv device. I have done the following to fix this issue: 1.) unplugged and switched out the hdmi cord (tried 2 different hdmi cords), 2.) plugged the hdmi cord into a different hdmi outlet on the tv, 3.) unplugged the buzztv device and started it back up to restart the system. However, none of these have worked to fix the constant tv screen blinking. The tv screen blinking is very quick but has become…

    Upgraded from an older Samsung led tv to a new 83" LG C5, new 2.1 certified HDMI cables new LG S90TY Soundbar all new correct length network cables etc. For some reason when watching any content on the PS 6 after sometime 20 mins or so the LG screen goes blank and shortly indicates no signal, if I hit the middle round button on the BT 500 remote it comes back on and continues playing just fine. I have all power saving functions turned off on the TV and PS6. This is really frustrating knowing I could have bought a much cheaper Android based hardware box for how it performs and now this which is making the device unusable in my opinion. Hooked my old Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 …

    Considering a PS6 purchase, but saw several threads online that raised issues with it being plugged into an A/V receiver vs directly into TV (then using e.arc). I have a remote electronics cabinet with a 25' 8K HDMI cable running from my receiver to my LG OLED TV. All current video and audio devices (including 2 Android TV/Google TV boxes) are plugged into the receiver with HDMI-CEC enabled on all devices, and everything seems to work just fine. So, a new Power Station 6 would be connected to internet via ethernet and by HDMI to one of the inputs on the receiver -- with the TV connected to the TV OUT HDMI port on the receiver. The Buzz PS6 setup says “The …

    The Lon.TV YouTuber just posted a highly critical review of the P6 (the low-end version, not the Unlimited). Aside from perseverating on the lack of support for certain audio and video codecs (features that are lost on me), ignoring the Power Station’s purposeful design as an IPTV player, as well as overlooking the plethora of admonitions about using Netflix, Disney+ and Plex on the Power Station, he does make a potentially useful observation that the last security update for the Power Station (according to him) was in August 2023. Is this correct, and if so, does Buzz TV plan on improving the frequency of the security updates for the Power Station? On a related sub…

  20. I am migrating my extended family from the Fire TV ecosystem and I am looking for a remote control somewhat analogous to the 16-button Fire TV remote, with perhaps an added feature or two, but definitely a far more simple remote than the basic 38-button remote that Buzz currently offers. So I would like to suggest to the devs an invitation to consider releasing a very basic remote that might work well for new users transitioning from Fire TVs or for senior citizens who do not play well with a remote that has too many buttons. Also, following the example of some alternative Android boxes, perhaps some new remote model could include a find my remote feature triggered b…

    Hi all, Just received my power station and getting things set up. while using the remote it seems to freeze and the red light stays constant. i have replaced the batteries and it keeps happening. i have to remove the batteries and it will start working aging but only for a few minutes and freeze again. Any recommendations?

    My Buzz XR4500 suddenly stopped working. When I turn it on, it blinks a couple of times with the Buzz5 logo, and the screen goes black- continuous repetition with the same pattern. The power light always remains blue. If I press the standby power button on the remote, it won't respond.
