XR4500 / XRS4500 / XRS4500 MAX

  1. Started by stan767,

    What is the difference between these 2 settings and when should they be used? Under Screen saver you can set a suspend after x hours. Under config settings then app settings you can do an auto shut off the buzz app after x hours.

    Help Please. I am planning to start a trial with new supplier. Do I have to delete the M3U of existing provider, or just add a 2nd source. If the latter, can I switch between the two. Thanks

    I have a xrs4500 ver 5.0.793 which stops recording the current tv live show when I hit the power button which suspends the box. Actually it records for about 12 seconds. Am I missing some settings?

    Lately I have been having a problem with my remotes not working on my XRS 4500 Max. When I press the STB button on the remote the box does not respond to either the BT-100, or the ARQ-100 (stays on suspend, red light on). Only way to fix it is to unplug and re-connect the power supply. The lights on both remotes flash when the green button is pressed. Checked the remotes with my camera and the sensors flash on both remotes. Tried fresh batteries, no luck. Problem started about six weeks ago, and is happening a few times a week now. I'm currently on FW 20220919, IPTV 5.0.793. Any thoughts?

    My box (XRS4500) has been working GREAT for about 10 months and last week it stopped working the way it normally does. When the video freezes from being on for a while you can usually just change the channel and the video starts right back up. Not the case anymore, i have to restart the box now every time it freezes. When i did the factory reset to try and fix it, the home page is different with a blue background now. The box updated itself and i am still have the same issue. any help would be great thanks

    Hi all, I have an external USB 3.2 enclosure for NVMe SSDs, with SP 1TB Gen3 SSD in it. It works fine on Win 10 PC, Win 11 PC, and on nvidia shield. When I plug it in into my XRS4500's USB3 port, it gets recognized sometimes, but not always. When it gets recognized it doesn't stay connected - in 10-20 seconds it gets "safely ejected". It works OK and it stays connected all the time in USB2 port, but obviously I'd like to have higher speed of USB3. What could cause that? USB3 port doesn't provide enough power? Is there some enclosure and/or NVMe SSD brand that is confirmed to work fine in USB3 port?

  18. I was trying to sign into my buzz tv box but i did not want to use my personal android account, instead i was trying to use the supervised child account but it was not working. It looks like it needs to download some other resources but it would be stuck at the loading screen for like an hour. Has anyone been able to successfully login to their family account? my kids want to use apps on this that require their google login so that is why i was avoiding to use my own account. Any ideas?

    Hi folks. I haven’t posted anything for a while, so I thought I would give an update on my XRS 4500’s. I’m currently running FW V20220919 with Buzz5 version 5.0.783, and both boxes are running perfectly. I’ve been running on the new firmware since October 14th and haven’t had any issues to deal with. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, recording all working as expected. Current iteration of backup works fine but is not interchangeable between boxes. TWRP will hopefully solve that when it becomes available. Just a note about Wi-Fi, I was having issues a few months ago with dropped connections and router issues, so I installed two powerline adapter kits with Wi-FI extenders. No more WIFI iss…

    Hi all. New here. First post. I was having repeated error messages "Buzz TV wont respond." and "Android something something something something." But it keeps displaying these same messages back to back to back to back. I went to Buzz TV website and filled out the "contact us" form. They asked for my serial number and mac address, which i provided them, but nothing since. I was in my bedroom. Just came out to the living room where the box is and it is stuck on the Buzz TV XRS4500 landing page and wont reset. i've powered down and powered it back up and it stays stuck on this page. I've tried using the remote to restart it but it won't respond. A…
