April 4, 20251 yr Hi everyone. Where would I see a difference between this box and the base b5 box? Would I see an improvement in speed/stability in the TV guide? Would I see a difference between in the VOD area? On my b5 I have to refresh the lists a lot and there are issues in the saved series. So not sure if it is the box or the service. Any other ways I would see a difference between the boxes?
April 4, 20251 yr There is a significant speed difference, since the B5 is the entry level "5" series box. The Classic, X5 and U5 use the same CPU which is significantly faster, and they have more internal RAM, which will make them faster overall. The U5 also adds an internal slot for a 2.5" drive for recordings, which is nice, so you don't need any external USB sticks or drives. However they all run the same software (Buzz TV 5). So you will not see a difference in VOD, EPG or anything else. other than "possibly" how quickly they load/refresh. And reason I say possibly, is because the slowness may be directly from the server. Sounds to me, that there are instabilities with the service you are using.
