Hit the menu button account info and it will tell you how many streams you are allowed Not all xc servers allow multiple streams unless you pay more

by the way pushing the power button doesn't turn it off

I have tried several xc accounts the same results.

OK everyone. Support got back to me and said the issue was due to the server only has one active connection at one time, so when I shut off the box and then turn it back on that the server starting a new single connection which shuts down the one for the recording. Is anyone experiencing this. I have been online searching for this and only come up with multiple device connections which is not affecting this issue. Any input would be welcomed.

What you are describing is an oversimplification of how a certified Google TV device works. This is not a typical AOSP box where one party can freely control and modify the firmware and update path.

Just to clear this up, BuzzTV G-Series is a certified Google TV device, so the platform and firmware update process is different from our regular Android boxes. There are multiple parties involved in this ecosystem, including the platform manufacturer and Google’s certification and approval process. Because of that, we cannot freely modify platform firmware the same way we can on our AOSP models. Platform-level changes must go through the proper approval, testing, and certification path. So this is not as simple as saying it is only “SEI firmware” or only “Google firmware.” That oversimplifies how a certified Google TV device works. From the customer side, the important point is simple: system updates follow the certified platform update path, while the BuzzTV 6 app is updated separately through the Google Play Store. From our side, we test, collect feedback, escalate issues through the proper channels, and work to get improvements delivered properly.

you dont send portal url to buzz and buzz does not provider iptv service/portal either. you need to subscribe to an iptv service from third party and then go to server settings from the buzztv app and enter your credentials/portal information provided by your third party iptv provider.

How do I set up the server? I entered my chosen portal name. Portal url is from Buzztv after i send them the mac address - how do i send that to them??

Here's another issue I am having with recording besides the end time not changing with P6. I go thru the process of recording a baseball game last night. I turned the box off and started it back up about an hour later, I like to do this with a well known streaming app that has Live TV channels so that I can skip over the commercials. I am able to watch the game from the beginning while the recording continues. I turned the box back on went to the recording to watch while I assumed that I could do the same thing and it stopped recording at the time I turned the Box back on?? what's up with that? I would think you shouldn't have to keep the box off to complete a recording.

Glad you shared your knowledge...lol "On the other hand, what is the Buzz app for? That's just another app and I don't think it has much to do with firmware. "

I asked: what is the Buzztv app for and I said: I don't think this has to do with the firmware. At no point did I say that anyone said that the app is related to firmware. In fact, I still don't know what the buzztv app does. But it doesn't matter, I'll find out when I get my hands on the device. Thank you for your discussion.

Yes! After a lot of research, the reality is that the manufacturer of the G series, which is SEI ROBOTICS, is the one who makes the firmware and is in charge of making the updates and not Google. This discussion helped me learn something new, so thank you all.

On top of dishusers post no one ever said the buzz app had anything to do with firmware

well if you're sure then case solved

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I have been researching and I am almost completely sure that the one who makes and updates the firmware in this case is the manufacturer of the box (G series) which is SEI ROBOTICS, it is the Chinese company that is in charge of the updates and not Google. On the other hand, what is the Buzz app for? That's just another app and I don't think it has much to do with firmware.

No thermal paste. For thermal paste to be of any use, you need a heatsink. Thermal paste or pads are only meant to allow/facilitate the heat transfer from the drive to a heatsink so it can be dissipated easier.

Has anyone put thermal paste on their nvme in their power stations? An enclosure I bought for another nvme came with a strip and said to be it on nvme. Since the power station is similar in the sense that no air can really get to it. Just curious thoughts if it would help or not!?

Still having issues with guides. Both types have issues. some channel info, other none. So you can't select a show time slot only go up and down in the channels.

Excellent, that is a very good answer. Thank you for taking the time to assist.

So my understanding, you are wondering why there is no "buzztv SMART REMOTE" option ? Keep in mind the remotes are very different. The X5 and the Powerstation have "smart" remotes (BT400/BT500) which you program to your TV and all. The Classic uses the BT350 which is not a Smart remote by the same definition. You do pair it using Bluetooth, and other than the 4 IR learning buttons, there is no programming the remote to match your TV, etc.. I typically don't program my BT400/BT500 remotes to my TV anyhow, but some do. The BT350 does not have that option (and I personally prefer it that way). I prefer the BT100/200/250 and 350 remote layouts, over the BT400/BT500 remotes, but that is personal taste. Since you are not "programming/matching" the remote to your TV in the same fashion you really don't need that app on the Classic Anniv, hence why it is not included. That smart remote app is included typically on devices that ship with the BT400 or BT500 remote.

Thank you for taking the time, it means something. My device and remote work flawless as I can see. I cannot check the settings or utilities at this time as it is at my sons home. What I am concerned about is when on the home page and I scroll down to the ALL APS row of icon/buttons for example it goes like this on my PowerStation (app installer/ Aptoide Tv/Buzz TV 5/ Buzztv OTA update/ Buzztv Smart Remote/ and it continues. On my X5-AX it goes from home page 1 row below All apps (appinstaller/ Aptoide TV/ Buzz Tv OTA/ buzztv SMART REMOTE/ Crome) along the same row of buttons/slections on the Anniversary Classic Edition there is no button/switch/radio button for the remote. I do remember seeing the firmware update for the BT-350 during the initial set setup so I know that the firmware did happen and everything seems fine but like I state the is no access from the home page. Is there supposed to be?

With very few exceptions, firmware updates for remotes would typically go out at the same time as box firmware on the classic buzz boxes. Do you not have a "remote" app in the settings menu, or under Buzz Utilities ? where you can map your colored buttons and you can see remote firmware version, etc.. ? The new Gbox (with google remote) is the only buzz box where remote updates go out as standalone remote updates. Is there something not working with the BT350 anyhow, which you believe it needs a firmware update ?

Thanks for the response. Radio... is what early computers had as the icon buttons for select on/off or drop down windows. I am old and learning this stuff as my years we/i worked with dos. From the home page yes I can select OTA icon and check for updates and from the same line on the main page/home page on my PowerStation and my x5 ax, I can then select an icon button to check for updates and stuff for my remotes. This is where I do not have the icon/button to do anything with the remote on my Anniversary Edition Classic. So I am inquiring if it is supposed to be without to ability to check for updates for the BT-350 remote.

Radio? Firmware updates are sent ota and you can check from home page Buzz software is done from the menu button
