contact the dev of that app and let them know

Added on V19 sent yesterday to both Android and iOS

I followed your instructions and found that I do have the same 5.0.969 version. I then navigated to the backup options and can now see the 2 options you mentioned. It is great indeed that the backup file can be restored on newer devices. Thank you kindly for taking the time to provide a complete and helpful response that quickly helped find what I was looking for.

That is the kernel, I wanted the buzztv version. That is where the functionality is. My kernel is a little older than yours. And no, there is nothing newer as far as I know. And really no point, if it ain't broken, don't fix it 🙂 But BuzzTV I am running 5.0.969 (which is pretty recent - from earlier this summer). If you do not see that, hit "Settings" in the menu and then you should have option for "Check for Updates" so it can get latest version of the app. If you have recent enough version of BuzzTV 5, From that menu (which you can get to by hitting the menu button while in LiveTV), you can go to Settings->configuration and if you scroll down a bit, the first item under "App Settings" is "Backup&Restore". And that is where you can do the backup I am mentioning. And the nice thing about this version is that the file it generates can be used to restore on pretty much any BuzzTV device going forward, so you can easily setup a new device if you ever upgrade and not need to redo all your favorites.

That's the bt350 https://buzztv.com/remote-control-comparison/

that's why I've always said fresh batteries not new batteries

Just working my way around the new Classic AI, and I've found a couple of things; Under Utilities, Power Options, Power On Action it's stays on default regardless of the setting selected. Power Off works fine. Under Utilities, Remote Control, pointer speed changes won't save the setting I select, always reverts back to zero.

You can try few suggestions. Reboot your box, Reseat hdmi cable on both ends, try a different hdmi port or tv, replace hdmi cable if possible, and worst case try a factory reset but make sure you backup your servers and other settings if possible and see if this helps. Reset do it on your own risk. :)

Have you tried changing the HDMI cable ? Depending on the resolution/bitrate of the videos, the cable may be borderline. A Good quality HDMI cable is important on higher bitrates.

This topic can be closed He never let me have a look at it to try ttoubleshot at my end....was supose to drop it off and then....told me his wife decided to send it back 🙄.....thanks guys for tryin to help me.

Check the remote carefully and make sure it is snapped closed properly. Wife drops my older BT200 often and when it doesn't seem to register, it is always because the case has slightly split open (barely visible). Quick squeeze/snap back together and works fine again. And I would stick with an original remote (like Ryu mentioned above). Otherwise you will have "fun" trying to map the buttons (colored buttons, menu, info, last channel, etc..). Not worth the hassle.

No information on guide is almost always server side issue Loading is usually box related

Could also be the EPG server is down. I know of at least one service who's EPG has been down for the last 2 days.

did you do a refresh?

Clear cache and setup fast login option if using Xc option

Huh ? Don't know how you came up with that assumption. I'm in Canada also, and have no issues with it, works fine on at least 3 different services, with and without VPN enabled. Some ISP in Canada now block many streams from a few different IPTV services, some ISP are worse than others. VPN is often a requirement lately with some services&ISP in Canada, especially during prime time evenings.

Definitely NOT normal. Try it and let us no.

That is pretty tell tell sign that your internet provider is blocking during prime time. Typically just before puck drop (7 or 8 pm), many channels go dark. And then once games are over (around 10 to 11pm) everything is fine again. If this persists, you will have to get yourself a VPN service to bypass any blocks. Please keep in mind that this is the last mention of this topic, since we do NOT provide support for IPTV services or 3rd party apps here (there are other forums for that). Issue is NOT the buzz box. What he meant, was to go into Menu when you are in LiveTV and scroll down to the Refresh option. Forces a reload of the playlist/channels and all their links.

I forgot it was changed before it woulldn't list buzztv 5 backups but now it does

Well, On the L1, when BuzTV 6 (lite) V1.0.105 was released back in February (at least on the L1) the release notes stated: I have not tested it on the classic AI, but if I get a sec, I can try it later tonight after I get home.

Great Dudette. No chance. You must have misunderstood, because there is NO buzz box that came WITHOUT a version of BuzzTV already preinstalled and functional. I got all 3 of my X5 boxes (X5 128AI, X5 64XC, and X5 SS) before they were released to general public and all 3 had BuzzTV preinstalled and fully functional. So there is NO way yours came without it.

This thread HAS zero to do with any storage or recordings. When it is mentioned to remove some categories, it is that some services/panels allow resellers to customize the categories that are available to users accounts. So instead of having 100 categories, where you don't ever watch 60 of them (international, specialty, etc..), then why not remove them and therefore you box does not see them or need to sort or index them. This can help speed up some devices. Not all services offer this amount of granularity, but some do. I have one service where I can literally select nearly every single category and enable or disable it at the server panel level. I even have one user who asked to enable only 1 category (50 some channels) on his account. So instead of getting over 13000 channels, he only sees just over 50, so loading up or refreshing channel list is super fast.

This has been fixed

He did say he tried with BOSE headphones also and got same result. I tried 2 different BOSE headphones and had no issues. I'm assuming however that he has at least unplugged the power waited a few seconds and then re-plugged it to power cycle it. Using the remote to power it off is obviously not the same (especially if device is configured to suspend instead of shutdown)..

Does he have a spare USB-C power supply to try ?

Might be unlucky (it can happen). If he has another USB-C power supply (most do, since most phones today use USB-C), he can try to swap power supply/USB-C cable. If TV has an option for CEC, maybe try turning it off.

Exactly what you told him, try another HDMI. Try another HDMI port maybe. And if he has another TV, maybe try another TV (or computer monitor can work if it has HDMI input). When you say "blinking" on the box, are you talking about the Video output, or the LEDs on the box are blinking ?

Will be added in Q1 2027

Have you uninstalled the app and tried to reinstall? Also android or apple?

I put it on my iPad works really well Thank you

Ok sorry, reboot worked.

Wrong thread to post in. This is for upgrade of Forum web site.

reboot your box? tried on over 20 servers here and no issues with any of them.

Upgrade not working, sound ok but screen black.

did you do a refresh?

No issues here. Both of the 2 main services, I have, still work perfectly fine. Have you tried turning on a VPN ? Many ISP are blocking certain CDN networks used by IPTV services. And lately they seem to start around the time that local hockey games or other sporting events are starting to air. If you don't have any paid VPN service, you can always download and install Proton VPN. And you can create a free account, which works relatively well.

you never spoke to the dev at buzztv

You did misunderstand Buzz 5 has always been functional Where the misunderstanding might have come from is there was talk of buzz 6 becoming available after it was released but buzz 5 has always worked

My 10gb box was filled 9.5 gb and did same thing got rid of kids stuff and made big dif.. id like to delete more but cant fig it out
