VidStick / VidStick + / VidStick MAX

  1. Has anyone else experienced an issue with flickering or juddering pictures from their Vidstick Max on certain 1080 channels? It doesn't happen on all of them, and I'm seeing it on two different devices on two different TVs, and across different services. I don't get the same on my XRS4000 I have in another room, which is what is making me think it's to do with the sticks rather than any service/HDMI port issues. Do you think it's possibly to do with compatibility with the codecs involved, and if it is could it be resolved in a firmware update?

    So I’ve purchased 3 vidsticks and I started to set them up. The first one I noticed has new packaging so I’m assuming this is a 2nd gen of the vidstick. Anyway when trying to use the remote it is very unresponsive while trying to navigate and pretty much doing it’s own thing, it seems as if the stick is getting the remote commands late. So I thought maybe it was a bad remote or a bad vidstick, so I opened up another one and same thing was happening. Now before you ask YES THE IR WAS PLUGGED IN(not that it should matter much because the remotes are Bluetooth) but it seems like the signal is not strong enough in these new batches of sticks. Is there anyway to fix this??

    BuzzTV Support, I have had my new BuzzTV VidStick Plus for one week, and have encountered two frustrating problems and one unexplained issue. I have used both the IR sensor cable and the Bluetooth connection methods for my BT-100 remote; but keep having to either unplug & then plug-in the power adapter or wiggle the microUSB connector to get the VidStick to start-up using the remote. This happens if I use the stand-by method or Power Off method to shut down the VidStick device. In addition to VidStick start-up issue, I have encounter three total lockups (device would not respond to any key inputs from the remote) of the VidStick. To work around the…

    I ordered 4 vid sticks as presents. I planned on setting them up one at a time and giving them. to family. Thus far the 3 I have set up have frozen and frozen and needed rebooting too many times. I changed the first one out, and was sent a new one and its doing the freezing here and there also. I got until the 25th to send them back and I'm leaning that way. I also notice the sticks get very hot . The reseting over and over again has had a toll. I'm going to return all 4 and stick with the BOx's XR4500 etc.. Any suggestions

    Good evening. I ordered 4 sticks. The first stick was replaced as it froze on the BIZZTV Logo. I was apprehensive about connecting the other 3, so I did one and it gets stuck every time at the OTA %6 downloaded spot. This has been going on for a week and it never gets past that point. It allows me to go back and watch and do things but a few minutes later it goes right back to the update screen. Please advise

    I have the vidstick 4000 and the XR-4500 connected to the same tv. I have a 1gb etherent cable coming in and i use ethernet on the xr-4500 and get 1gb speeds (900mbps). IF i disconnect ethernet from the XR-4500 and connect it to the vidstick 4000 which has the Ugreen FBA_20256 usb 3.0 ethernet adapter and im getting 125 mbps download speeds, nowhere close to the 900mbps im getting from the XR-4500. Why the big difference in download speeds?

    I don't know if i'am spelling this right, but When using a specific app that I cannot mention on the site, I'm getting the black bars on both sides narrowing the picture. I'm assuming it's the aspec ratio with TV? I looked at buzztv settings changed at settings there but nothing, other apps look fine, so maybe I answered my own question? might just be the app? or do I need to make a change in settings on vidstick?
