    Hi there, I have two boxes and used a stereo headset hooked up to the optical on my living room tv. It stopped working. So switched it for my bedroom box and it worked for three weeks and now it stopped working too, just the optical nothing else. Is there a setting that I need to change? thanks

    Hi, I love the buzztv but the vod and tv series menus are really slow loading content. If I compare to tivimate or televizio, the thunbnails and menu loads really fast. The interface of the buzz 5 seems to heavy. What dyou think?

    My problem with recording with my X5 box is the fact that I can't turn my TV off after starting a recording. As soon as I do it cancels the recording. Doesn't matter if I turn the TV off with the TV remote or manually by hand. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to get around this?......thanks

    I'm getting descriptive audio on some UK channels and I can't find where to turn off this feature. I have tried all the settings and I could only find closed captions.

    Buzztv records iptv program is very good. There is a problem to record public iptv. The video will record the ads but audio skip the ads. So when it plays back after the ads video and audio will not synchronize. Is any way to skip record ads video or include ads audio in the recording? Please help.

    My location is incorrect on my Buzzbox. I have tried to fix it and have had no success. I am hard wired to my internet. Any ideas on how to fix that? I checked in the settings menu and cannot seem to change it. Thank you. Raymond

    I'm enjoying the update but have found a couple of issues I'm not seeing others posting about in the 4500 forum or in this forum. I'm sure asked and answered but I can't find it. I have issues with the info bar timeout setting. No matter what time I set to hide the info bar (I like 1 Second) it only works for a couple of times and then goes back to a full 10 seconds timeout. I have recording issues. When I set to record a program through the EPG it works fine. When I do an instant record and go to play back later the thumbnail is blank and I get "Format not supported". Any thoughts about my issues ? Thanks for your help.

  10. Hello, I recently set up my X5 64. Everything is good except for this issue. I am getting no Sound when my resolution is set to 3840x2160. I am hoping someone can help. If I select the Auto Switch to best select resolution, the system sets the resolution to 1920x1080p 59.9hz and the sound is working. I tried switching to another HDMI port but no change. Here is my setup: TV: Vizio M658-G1, 4k 120hz refresh rate Audio: optical digital cable to Bose 550 sound bar I have most the current firmware update. Thanks for your time.

    I have removed all paired devices except the remote and bluetooth speakers. The only thing I do with this box is watch videos in Kodi - not streamed, they're all downloaded. So, Kodi is the only app that I've loaded and run, the box still keeps skipping audio. I have an Amazon Alexa Echo Dot in the same room, it does not exhibit audio skipping. I've paired multiple bluetooth speakers to the buzztv, they all have audio skipping. When the buzztv starts up it shows a window that says "IO Exception". I don't know if this has any bearing on my bluetooth issue. If this device truly has bluetooth 5.0 installed, I should see great signal performance in my 20' room,…

  16. My BUZZ TV X5 has been working fine until last night: after starting up and seeing all my TV favourite listings on the screen as usual, but then, after I click on any of the TV icons I get the message CANNOT LOAD PORTAL: INCORRECT USERNAME OR PASSWORD. I use an ethernet cable to connect to the router; switching to wifi gives me the same error message. There is absolutely no problem with the internet or the ethernet cable.

    been getting these "Unknown Stream error" msgs on some channels. There are a handful of sports channels that its been happening to. I've tested different apps on the same channels on the same provider and they do work, just not on the BuzzTV 5 app. I believe there are some updates that need to be done. I remember having the same issues back in the day with the XPL 3000 and 2000.

  19. Not sure if this is a BuzzTV 5 issue or an issue specific to our box (X5). But if we set up to record a channel, and when the recording starts and while watching the channel, the channel will (a) freeze or (b) go black, but recording continues. As a work-around, we will end the recording early (by editing the recording end-time) and set up another recording to immediately start, but this issue will repeat ~3 times for a 2 hour recording. We are using TS mode. Any idea what is happening, or how to fix this?

    Hi all! Just bought yesterday The Classic. Big change since I was with formuler z8 for a while but box began to show bit of trouble. Anyway, entered provider infos and everything is ok, most of the time, for stalker. However, big problem with m3u playlist! It doesn't change channel! It kinda try but show the first channel no matter the one I select. Is there a fix for that? I switched to buzztv because product is similar to formuler (remote, app) but I need to have m3u working since I have an external epg provider that use m3u playlist. also, is there somewhere a page with all "shortcuts"? like i want to close 1 app and cannit…

  22. My Buzz 4900 Android box is not responding, is in limp mode-red light on the front panel -box does not turn on. I tried doing the hard reset by pushing and keeping the reset button pressed for 15 seconds and plugging the power back on but it did not do anything. does anybody have a way to get it back? thank you.

    Is there any way you can put all your favorite channels from ALL your servers in one favorite folder? I have 4 different servers, I have favorites in their favorite folder, but I need to switch servers to use them. It would be very nice to have then all in one favorite folder and when you click on the channel you want, the system changes server for you and go’s to that channel. I know there is an app on the market that does that but I was wondering if there is a way to do that in the BuzzTV 5 app system?
