Hello everyone.

I have received a new unit that I got for my son.

My question is , can I do the newest firmware update to this unit prior to bringing it to his house without doing all the regular setup stuff. It would be nice to give him an already to use unit. 

Thanks 

What is your definition of "regular setup stuff".  When you boot the new machine, it will ask you basic stuff like language, and to pair the remote, and I believe to connect to network.  You can do all these, and the box will then be able to take any updates (firmware and/or software).

Then when you give it to your son, he only needs to connect to his wifi (easy enough), and add his IPTV provider credentials.

If you want to test it, you can possibly even use your IPTV server credentials to test the box, and then when you are done, you can easily delete the server entry, leaving it blank for your son to be able to enter a new server.

I do this all the time for friends and colleagues all the time.  These boxes do NOT force you to sign into services like google play, etc...

Thank You! Emporium for your help and quick response. I am worried as to the BT-350 remote pairing and TV setup as I am not to techy and my PowerStation and X5 AX at home work flawlessly now. I think I will just wait and take the extra time at his house, that way he will familiarize himself with the whole install.

Again Thank You.

for tv setup is easy. all he has to open up buzztv smart remote app from Home Screen and follow onscreen instructions. super easy. 🙂

The BT350 remote does NOT pair/program like the BT400/500. 

The BT350 has 4 IR programmable/learn buttons, which you can program for TV use.  The rest only pairs to the box via Bluetooth.  If there is any interaction between TV and Box, it would be through the HDMI CEC.

Outstanding help! 

He has a new big screen Tv... so it is his to boot. All the info is really appreciated.
