Buzztv XR4000 Connection Related Issues

Sat, 24 Sep 2022 02:42:32 +0000

So you know this is a Buzz TV XR 4000 box that I have here

it is running the latest version of the software being

Firmware Version V20220105

Current IPTV Version 5.0.769

So I have noticed a few things first thing is when I go into the settings and into Network

in there it says that the Ethernet is not connected but it is. So why isn't the box detecting

that the Ethernet is plugged in because it is. This connection is wired and has an Ethernet

cable plugged into which goes directly to my router Which is maybe 15 feet at most away

using I believe a cat 6 cable.

When a Network cable is plugged in the Buzz TV XR 4000 box should detect it but it isn't but

I still have full connectivity. It is set up to pull an IP from DHCP which the box has done

as you can see in the picture that I attached.

The 2nd issue I am noticing is wow some very slow speeds coiming from my

Buzz TV XR 4000. Now I am on a very fast connection a Gig-bit connection

My connection caps out at 1000 Mbps now when I run a speed test on the box

using an app that I put on there the speeds are horrible for it being a wired connection

I was getting 23.3 Mbps Down and 90.1 Mbps up.

Now in comparison when I run the same test on my laptop which is also wired

using a network cable I get the following speeds on my laptop.

I was getting 902.59 Mbps Down and 107.17 Mbps up when I ran the same test on the same

network That is much better. So why is the Buzz TV XR 4000 box getting such bad speeds

my network can clearly handle more and it isn't coming close to capping out my network.

I even took the network cable off that I was using to my laptop and ran it over

to my Buzz TV Box and plugged it in reran the test again on the Buzz TV Box and

still got low speeds i did that to ensure that this wasn't a network cable issue

which it wasn't I am trying to eliminate everything here. This clearly isn't my

network and is not a network issue here.

So why are the speeds so just terrible on the Buzz TV XR 4000 box

when the network clearly can do a lot more and provide a lot more

bandwidth than what the box is using.

I believe that this is something with the box itself and yes the box was

just reset recently too when I went up to the Beta this is not an issue

so please don't tell me to reset my box that was just recently done and isn't

the issue here.

I believe this is something to do with the Buzz TV XR 4000 box and is a bug.

with it.

Also so you know I have rebooted the box then rerun the test and it doesn't

change the speed either it is still low. So that doesn't fix the issue.

Can you please look into these issues please.

Thank you,

Freezing VOD videos

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 18:51:46 +0000

My XR4000 got updates 5 beta installed and now VOD keeps freezing every 30 seconds. I factory resets and it automatically updated again to buzz 5 and still the same issue. I have MAG box also and that is working fine so server and internet is not an issue. Need suggestion to resolve or like to know if box is no longer good.

Thanks in advance for help.

My Review of BuzzTV5 (Beta) f/w installation and operation on XRS4000 STB

Fri, 16 Dec 2022 18:20:06 +0000

I will start and preface with a couple of statements before I start my review; All my comments are based on my personal experience and knowledge and I take no responsibility of anyone procuring different results from following my instructions or comments.

I have been involved in the IPTV scene for about 5 years. I had became tired of paying exobarant fees to both satellite services and cable companies. I own 5 Buzztv stb's (4x XRS4000 and 1x XR4000). I also own several Dreamlink boxes of which all are non active and am planning to give them away to my family and close friends.
My introduction into BuzzTV5 firmware came as a result of a close friend for whom I had purchased a new XRS4000 box as she wanted to sever her ties with her cable tv service. She was extremely happy with the STB and all its features but could not record some of her shows while she was at work. Unfortunately, with the OEM firmware there was no option to record one channel while the rest of the family were viewing other channels. She had asked me to find if there was such an option. This led me to finding about BuzzTV5 which does offer a multi-stream option (watch and record two different TV Live streams). I will make a notation at this point to check with your IPTV provider before you jump into multi-streaming game. Some providers will not allow multi-streaming and will only allow a single stream service per single IPTV account. Read your TOS from your IPTV provider.
In order to download and install the new firmware, I will make a note once again that everyone should follow the instructions provided in "How To" section on the installation of BuzzTV5 Beta firmware. Not following the specific instructions may cause STB's operational issues to as far as "bricking" your box. I will also raise an issue to copy the server portal address(es) from your Server settings before you proceed with the next step as you will be required to re-enter this information after the firmware re-write. We are not allowed to discuss anything to specific IPTV providers, but make sure to copy the correct Server portal address as every period/coma will make a difference in your connection.
In order to download the BuzzTV5 firmware to your (XR4000 or XRS4000) stb, you have to make sure your box has the latest firmware. At the time of my writing the most recent firmware is V20211111 for XR4000/XRS4000 stb's (each model of BuzzTV stb will have a different firmware version for which you need to familiarize yourself before you commence on the cfw update). This step is very important. Once you have confirmed you have the most recent firmware, you are ready to move to Buzztv5 download page. This is accomplished by staying on your firmware update page and keying with your remote the following numbers: 2015. You will be directed to a BuzzTV5 Beta firmware page if you are compatible or enabled to continue with the BuzzTV5 update. If you do not have the access, there is a reason which I will not go into at this time.
The new firmware is of considerable size (~1 GB) and once you have started the download do not touch any keys on your remote or unplug the power from the stb. Let the download come to a full and complete installation. It may take from a 2-3 minutes to several minutes depending on your internet speed connection. Once the firmware is fully downlaoded, the box will go through a couple (or more ) reboots. Again, it is important to raise this caution and mention to let the box go through a full re-write of the firmware and not interfere in its operation. For much of this update you will have a black screen on your tv with the blue breathing LED flashing. I would go as far as saying the less you touch the better you are off (under no circumstance do not unplug the stb while it is in the midst of rewriting the firmware; Go have a tea or a coffee while the system is updating). You will have reached the end of this update when the box shows your new BuzzTV home page (Live Tv, VOD, PVR, All Apps icons...). Keep note that your Settings icon will now be located in the top right corner of the TV screen including the date/time and your location. All your previous settings including your IPTV portals will be erased and you will be required to re-enter this information once again to connect to your original providers. In order to access the Server portal settings click on the Settings icon and right-click to Server Settings.

At this point I will suggest to re-enter your IPTV portal addresss and see if you can connect to your original IPTV service. It may take a minute or so. One of my observations when I connected to my IPTV service was the message that I could not connect to many streams/channels. Do not worry as this will resolve itself in a bit of time. Even when the BuzzTV5 is fully installed there will be more updates to follow and thus I suggest you leave the box for several hours to fully install/integrate all the new updates. I started my BuzzTV5 update during the evening hour (around 7pm) and decided to leave it on through the night to resolve itself of all these little issues. The next day, I can unequivocally say that everything was working like a Swiss watch. There are still some minor bugs here and there but Buzztv5 is fantastic and my impression better than the original firmware.

This is a lengthy post will receive more edits from me as I come across your questions and hopefully some of you will offer me corrections when something is stated incorrectly. I hope this will help to those that are about to consider an update to their BuzzTV STB.
Cheers.
