XRS4900

  1. Hi after the latest update all my XRS4900 the TS error comes and the USB drive only shows ready to eject. I remove the USB drive and it doesn't fix and it doesn't give me an option to format the USB drive. How do I fix the TS issue?

  2. I've tried several SATA, SSD drives and USB drives formatted as NTFS and exFAT, even tried delete volume and let the XRS4900 format each drive. In every case I am unable to create folders or copy files to the drives. I've been trying to figure this out all day and no luck. The goal is to add a 1TB SSD drive to use for PVR recordings and media storage only. If it's not possible with the internal SATA port, I have a Seagate 1TB external USB 3.0 drive that I can use instead. If anyone has any ideas for me to try or a link to a guide, I would really appreciate any help!

    I already have a xrs4900 which works fine. Been looking around to buy another one here in Canada, but seems they are all out of stock. Am I missing something? Is a different model coming out soon I should wait for?

    Hi, my BT-200 was causing me issues with my Buzz 4900 device, so I was recommended the new BT-250 or the BT-400 as an alternative, Can anyone confirm they use the BACKLIGHT in the dark the same way my Bt-200 currently does?

  11. Hello, I have 2 BuzzTV XRS 4900 Android devices. I have much Buffering and Some Freezing. One device is near my Spectrum modem and Router. The other is in an upstairs Living Room. I have a Samsung 1TB SSD drive installed and a 2TB thumbdrive in the device nearest to the Spectrum modem and router. The SSD will be used for DVR/PVR recordings. The 2TB USB thumbdrive I hope to be able to set up for use as RAM to lessen or prevent the buffering and freezing issues I am having with both devices. The 2nd BuzzTV XRS 4900 device in the Living Room is connected to the Spectrum Internet via a "pod" that is plugged into the Surge Protector on the TV stand and it uses the …

    Hi, ....again I wish there was a forum for general questions and not just model specific...anyway, are there any Buzz boxes that have built-in bluetooth transmission for audio to, say for example, bluetooth headphones? I need to be able to watch TV with no sound in the room due to a sleeping parrot.

    Hey guys, been trying to update user apps on the device but unable to install updates via Aptoide TV store. I'm also unable to uninstall any app, I get error saying "this app cannot be uninstalled. Sorry for the inconvenience". I'm not just speaking about system apps but any regular apps that I have installed in the Aptoide store. I also have a prompt for buzz tv update and I keep getting parse error.

    I'm also having recording issues with my 4900 and 4500. running 5.0.774 when I set a record time of say 9 am to 10:05 am it only records for 30 minutes. when you look at the recording in PVR recordings it shows 9am to 10 am but the recording is only for 36 minutes. I have tried recording from the epg and manually with the scheduled record option but they all fail and sporadically record the entire 65 minutes. Any ideas?

  19. Recently I have been getting updates coming up on my screen. I have not seen this before and I have had my box for more than 2 years. Since these updates have been showing on my screen I have been having problem after problem while streaming live TV. I am having channels freeze up, sometimes just for a few seconds and sometimes longer. When I change channels my screen stays frozen on he previous channel. Sometimes I am not getting Live TV at all. I have re-booted soft and hard several times and am still having the problem. Can anyone tell me what is going on with Buzz Box TV and how I can fix it?
