I have a 4500 max and while watching live tv it keeps randomly going blank then coming back on. Usually only a second or 2 every few minutes. Im using wifi connection and at 300mps download. Any idea on the cause or is a repair needed?

try to take out hdmi cable from both ends and insert again, try different hdmi port and hdmi cable if possible.

thanks, I've already tried a different HDMI cable and port and no change.

are you on buzz 4 or 5?

The box says the latest update is installed. It was Nov 2021 update. V20211108

Version 4.0.530  Ive tried updating and it always says I have latest installed

And you are entering 2015 on remote?

my first 4500 did that after 2mo's.. audio goes out of sync or no audio, change channel the audio's back .. goes to blue screen reboots randomly ..reset many times 

replaced it was still under warranty (only had it for 2months) guy replaced with new box not reburnished ..

Runs great  ..

I dont want to up date to the beta version so no, Im not entering 2015. I did notice under menu/configuration it wasn't on the default video player. Switched it now waiting to see if that was the problem.

BuzzTV 5 is  out of beta.  IT is what gets delivered with all new boxes (X5, HD5, U5, etc..).  Been running it for over a year, and it works great.

If you choose to stick to buzzTV4, be prepared to live with any issues it may or may not have since there will not be any updates on v4.  All efforts are now on BuzzTV5, and the fact that most boxes are synced (E2, 4000, 4500, 4900, X5, HD5, U5...) are running very close to the same version, it makes it easier to concentrate efforts on a unified front.

Last week 766 was released, and all beta users were updated to that, and they are public OTA now for anyone on buzztv5.  The 2015 method will take you to a beta, sure.  But then there will be an OTA update to update the beta to release.

But you are FREE to chose to stay on buzzTV4 if you chose.  It is NOT being forced on anyone.

Should I do a backup before upgrading to Buzz5? 

I have never tried but im doubt you will be able to restore after you upgrade to Buzz5.

I personally think you will love Buzz5 because it has lots of improvements and features. 🙂

no need because you don't lose any apps or data

I JUST upgraded my second 4900 10 minutes ago (t was long overdue, but I used the file in the downloads section of this forum - since my box had really old firmware 20210411 or something like that).  But even then, everything worked like a charm and lost nothing.  Even my favorites are still there, and all my apps.   Only thing I had to do was go into PVR options and redo the options of where my pvr recordings, TS, and vod downloads go.  That's it.

Got one message upon first boot about some service not starting, but that was only first boot.  rebooted twice since then and it is clean.

I just did my older 4000 unit to try it first. it seemed to download fine and took a while for live tv to start but all seems fine. Only issue is some shortcuts on homescreen dont work like settings. Also tried update and said none available. Did it update latest file when I changed to 5?

What theme are you using ?   Try switching themes to something like Buzz Classic.. And then go back in and change back to buzz modern.

 

I cant access the settings page as the link isnt working to change the theme.

try a pin reset and select boot

Just wondering If your using xcapi as login or Mac Id. Maybe your Mac ID has been jacked do not know much just trying to help.
