Menu ,settings, configuration 

You could also install an app to test your service to confirm its not a server issue

They have been known to BS

also, connected via wifi or hardwire? using vpn or no?

You said "follow all your suggestions and now it works perfectly "...  Now it is not ?

When you say you have the latest version of firmware, can you post what firmware and buzzTV version you have ?  Should be able to find both in the "updates" screen.

At this point, if you gave tried everything else, I would say, you should probably consider a factory default reset

This is the reset procedure for an xrs4500, but it is identical for the 4900.

Hi folks.. I have the same issue - freezing every 30 seconds when watching live TV. I have model X5 218AI connected via Ethernet. Internet speed test on my laptop with Ethernet (same wire) registers a 900mb DL speed. I cannot find the screen to switch media players as suggested in this thread - menu/settings/configuration doesn't reveal media player options. Can you tell me what the solution was to resolve the issue or other suggestions? New to Buzz TV so appreciate any help. Cheers!

its video player and you click on live tv  after menu settings configand you have the option to change it

Have you tested your service on another device?

Thanks for the help. Took me a bit to find the video choices because i was going in through the settings app. All is well. Much appreciated. Cheers!

oops - started happening again. I have checked it is on Backup video. now freezing on both videos. Also on two different tvs. wired and wireless. Any further suggestions?

install analiti from app store and check speed at box

if speed is good try a vpn

Is your sub a MAC based sub, or XC API login (with portal, user/pass) ?   

If it is an XC API, you can always try to download the PC version of IPTV Smarters, install it on your laptop and see if the problem persists on the laptop.  Just another option for testing.

 

 

Speed is 704mb DL and 910mb UL. I'll see if I can get  VPN going.  Re second questions from Emporium - sorry I am not familiar with those terms 'MAC based sub' or 'XC API'. I have a BUZZTV X5 Ethernet connected.

Holding my breath - VPN running and no freezing for 10 minutes. I am curious what effect a VPN will have.  And is there a cheaper one than I installed - VPN unlimited at $90 per year?

ipvanish has sales all the time

I pay less than $40 cdn/year

Don't do VPN Unlimited for $90/year (that's overpriced).    I have VPN Unlimited and only because I had gotten a lifetime sub (not yearly) for $29 through stacksocial.  It works fine for my needs, but it is not worth $90/year.  Actually Stacksocial presently has it for $90/lifetime 🙂  I don't believe lifetime subs are sustainable, but at the price I had figured if I got a year, I was fine (and has been way longer than that).

ipvanish (as DU mentioned above), surfshark and even Windscribe offer regular sales (or promo codes if you search google), which are more attractive.

Stacksocial also has surfshark for USD$84 for 3yrs of service, which is a nice price also, or windscribe VPN Pro for USD$90/3yrs.
