I just wanted to report my firmware so  it was known why I have not yet reported feedback on new update 🙂

Probably a stupid, off subject question but, how do I get rid

of the dropdown window on the top right of my screen?

TK

Back button?

I tried up/down/ left/ right

I tried shift up/down/left/right

I tried tap

I tried shift tab

I tried the left/right 

I tried shift left/right

The only thing I haven't tried is the garbage can, soon.

Thank you.  The other theme (which is actually the default - not just named Default - since I never manually changed themes) was getting buggy.  Had lost the "heart" icon for when you say thanks on the right side (it was a grey circle).  And today I had noticed the "search" menu dropdown which was pinned to the top.  Everything worked fine before, but sometimes early last week I lost the heart/like icon (figured it was something being blocked by my new firewall rules - so I ignored it - since I had no time to play with them).  And this morning the pinned menu.

changing theme works..

just like video player in live tv

default is not default...lol

Thank you "Dishuser", default theme worked like a charm.

Please add in the new update when you put a reminder in the program program that would switch when the reminder is on this channel and not a message that your program has started, click OK and switch. Fix 5.1 surround sound still doesn't work! In general, everything is OK!

I would rather having to click ok to switch in case I'm watching something interesting

Same here.   Happens many times I get reminder, and I just dismiss it since I am already into something else.  It's not hard to just hit "OK" if you want to switch.  At least if you are at the end of something you can hold off for a minute or two before hitting OK to switch.

 

 

Can anyone confirm that you can now record one program & change the channel while the recording is in progress??

CS/Tech Support said it was rectified with this update (which, obviously, i haven't installed YET)

TIA!

if they said it was fixed it was fixed

Did you have the issue yourself??

If not, don't assume - i'd like to hear from someone like 'Emporium' who i believe did have the same issue.

CS/Tech Support were throwing possible solutions against the wall hoping that one would stick - none did - i know, i spent a week/10 days trying to get the issue fixed!

you spent 10 days trying to get the issue fixed?lol

It took them sometimes days to get back to me - hence, the week/10 day timeframe. 

Oh, & i'm glad you find it funny!

I have no issues recording

I currently am recording two channels and watching a third

I haven't checked today, but I don't have the latest firmware, since my X5 has the 20220624 firmware, which will be released shortly for these units. (unless it was done yesterday or today, which I have not checked).

However the issue was fixed pretty quickly on one of the updates that I got on my xrs4900 (actually it was fixed pretty quickly).  I had the same issue on my xrs4900 and one of the older updates fixed it.  I managed to record 4 streams at the same time, while watching one of them with no issues.   I did not test it on the X5 since there was a small glitch with the OTA update.  But if the OTA update is available for your unit, I would recommend to get it, since it does include the latest BuzzTV 5, which will include the fix.

 

 

 

and like before when I ran these tests I changed servers and watched live tv for a few minutes and then went back to first server and my 2 recordings were still working
