  • I've been using the ARQ-100 for a week and it works perfectly which is great and all, but we shouldn't have to replace a brand new remote with a brand new remote at our expense.

  • Maybe Buzz needs to do a software fix

    The reported issues are being looked at and trying to be reproduced + fixed.    Will keep everyone updated.

It can't be the battery, since I've changed mine just to be sure that the remote is like brand new from the box , anyway seams like is not only me who has this problem

Seems like all XR and XRS 4000 owners like myself have the same problems, hopefully a fix will be out sooner than later.

I just bought a XRS 4000 a few days ago and I'm experiencing the same thing with the controller, push the buttons 3 or 4 times before it reacts, it gets frustrating

Same here hope Buzz will have a fix out soon

Ive given out 15-20 buzz xr4000s and have not had any reported issues with the ar 100

There is also no reports on two sites that i frequent

I was surprised to see it is an issue

Probably your clients don't use the remote that comes with the box or they use the arq 100 remote, because all my friends(around 20+) that they use it all have problems with the IR remote.

Clients? They are staff at sites and use the remote that came with box for the most part

I am also a beta tester at another site and this issue did not come up once

Like I said I was surprised

I was using my wifi 5G connection and was told to use the wifi 2.4G and the problem went away. For some reason the remote control does not like the 5G connection.

Regards 

 

I’m hardwired and WiFi is disabled but still experiencing this issue. Artronix remote for BuzzTV works flawlessly.

its IR remote, which is ok, but not all buttons may work on XR/XRS4000 good for 3000 or before that.

So I went ahead and bought the arq-100 and Im impressed with the performance ,but is expensive and bulky.

I've been using the ARQ-100 for a week and it works perfectly which is great and all, but we shouldn't have to replace a brand new remote with a brand new remote at our expense.

The only button that doesn’t work is the Guide. 

 

 

I´ve been using my Buzztv box since October and i´m experiencing the same problems of having to press buttons a couple of times before anything happens.. I´d also prefer any solution rather than having to buy a new remote..

which remote you have this fake brand? or you have Original buzztv IR remote?

Just a quick update: For all of you annoyed with the original remote that comes with 4000 boxes, I just purchased a remote for Buzz boxes and it works flawlessly. It looks more like the original BuzzTV remote than the previous one I posted here

This is an official Buzztv Product.
For those who are wondering

 

Thanks for posting this

@allaboutbuzz, do you know if the new 4000 boxes are shipping with this remote now?

Or if a fix for the original remote will be released?

I want to buy few more for friends and want to make sure they don’t complain about the remote. 
With this remote, I’m finally 100% happy with my BuzzTV XRS4000! 👍

The luminous remote was made to be sold separately 
So it is not the one being shipped + included on the 4000s

 

We will look into this though based on your new information to see why such a difference.

I´m using the original remote.. i don´t have another remote.

Since i last posted the remote situation is worse.. sometimes to move down in a menu i have to press 5 or 6 times..

I´ve written an email to Kuulmedia on FB.. see if they reply.
