XR4500 / XRS4500 / XRS4500 MAX

  1. Hey guys - anyone know how to turn on the back-light on the BT-300 remote? Can't find anyway to do this? This is with the XRS4500 BOX. Thanks!

    Hey Guys. im new to the box but because Netflix wasn’t working I uninstalled it and now I’m in a position where I got no Netflix. Any idea how I can possibly reinstall? The App Store says the device isn’t compatible.

    I just ordered the XRS 4500 and it comes with the BT-400 remote. I read somewhere that the backlight doesn't work with the 4500 as it doesn't get the android 11 update. Is this correct about the backlighting on the remote and the XRS 4500?

    I’m having issues with TS and the pvr function. TS sometimes appears, and other times it’s there but I can’t go back at all. the other issue is the PVR will only record a show for 30 min, no matter how long the program is. I have multiple shows recorded, so I know it’s not an actually storage issue, but was wondering if it has to do with how I allowed the memory for TS and PVR

    When I first got this box 2 weeks ago, everything was fine and I was connected via ethernet. Then all of a sudden one day the ethernet stopped working even though the cable was still connected. I switched to wifi and it was fine, then the wifi started disconnecting randomly. I would have to go to settings every-time and reconnect. Anyone know a solution?

    We have XRS4500 and it will not record / pvr properly. We have firmware V20220106, IPTV version 5.0.795. it was last updated January 14, 2023 (yesterday). I have rebooted the modem, router and buzz box. We have 55 GB of storage available 2 problems: 1. it only records 30 minutes of a 2.5 hour program - we confirmed that it was set up to record the full 2.5 hours, but the listing this morning showed that only 30 minutes was recorded but the recording completed 'successfully'. We have tried using the 'rec' button on the remote when in the guide and we have tried scheduling a recording from the pvr tool (what a pain that is) 2. tried to acce…

    Newbie here. I had to do a hard reset on my XRS4500 and now I don't have that very functional launcher that came with the box originally. I tried the others in settings, but none are as clean as this one. There is probably something in settings, but I can't find if there is.

I'm getting a repeat error message "Google Services Framew ... keeps stopping." I am also intermittently getting a "Buzz TV5 keeps stopping" error message. I have tried putting a toothpick in the hole to reset it. Nothing. Remove the power cord, re insert it and immediately do the toothpick in the little hole. No joy. Resetting the box (hold power button on remote) no joy. It's been doing this since about mid day Saturday. I was watching the England/ France rugby game when it glitched and it's been continuo…

  20. Hi everybody Since yesterday I can no longer access my iptv subscription on the server. Last night it was working fine, I entered live tv. After when I came back to the living room, I was back on the main buzz tv screen. So I tried to enter live tv again. It sent me to “Server”. So I clicked on my iptv provider's server and got the following message: “Cannot load portal: failed to connect to ******* (port 2095) from / ****** ( port 32964) after 10000ms). I disconnected my buzz tv 4500 xrs, cleared cache, restarted. Always nothing. So I contacted my iptv provider who told me to try another server address. What I have done. I now get the message: “Cannot load portal: C…

  21. I'm in a pickle. Whn playing around looking at the different themes, there was 4 ... Classic, MediaPlayer, MediPlayer 2 and Modern. BuzzTv defaults to Modern. I selected MediaPlayer 2, and was not impressed, sowanted to revert back. There is a settings "button", whic I assume is where you would access the settings to change it, however, I cannot get the button to do anything. I can't use the controller direction arrows to select it, I can't use the pointer to select it. Please ... how do I access the settings if the button isn't accessible? (image attached)
