Lost Original Launcher Screen

Featured Replies

Newbie here.

I had to do a hard reset on my XRS4500 and now I don't have that very functional launcher that came with the box originally.

I tried the others in settings, but none are as clean as this one. There is probably something in settings, but I can't find if there is.

Thanks dishuser

I don't get that screen when I try the modern setting. I tried all four and ran into all kinds of problems when I tried the Media ones.

The 4500 Upgraded itself to BuzzTV 5 due to the reset.

There are 4 launchers "skins" available, you can choose one of the 4.  There is the modern, 2 mdeia ones, and the classic (which is like the old 3000 series).

Thanks for the replies,

What was the launcher like before BuzzTV 5? I've tried all 4 in the latest update and none are the one I had before. Is ti possible to go back to the older version? It was black and white and very clean.

I shall try that if I can figure out how. I have no media files on the box. I assume I should just get a black jpg and use that.

Thanks again, dishuser!

I don't subscribe to this site except for private messages

it's just a generic email

I've seen on many sites that only staff have the option marking it as solved so they might be mistaken
