First of all, it is not a "beta". It has not been a beta for nearly 5 years now What version are you running now (hit menu button, and should be on bottom left). Latest version is 5.0.961 For your EPG issue, have you tried to "CLEAR EPG" to see if it repopulates ? If EPG gets corrupted for some reason, it may fail to subsequently update, so you may need to clear it. Should be in the menu->settings->configuration if you scroll down to the EPG section. After you select "CLEAR EPG" give it 4 or 5 seconds, until you get the message saying it was cleared, before returning to main video screen.

I have been using buzz5 beta on my vidstick max for months now and has been working great but this week an update came thru and I’ve lost my epg guide on my Mac server only. Works on my XC. Can someone help. My provide says it’s on my end. Thanks

Outstanding help! He has a new big screen Tv... so it is his to boot. All the info is really appreciated.

The BT350 remote does NOT pair/program like the BT400/500. The BT350 has 4 IR programmable/learn buttons, which you can program for TV use. The rest only pairs to the box via Bluetooth. If there is any interaction between TV and Box, it would be through the HDMI CEC.

for tv setup is easy. all he has to open up buzztv smart remote app from Home Screen and follow onscreen instructions. super easy.

Thank You! Emporium for your help and quick response. I am worried as to the BT-350 remote pairing and TV setup as I am not to techy and my PowerStation and X5 AX at home work flawlessly now. I think I will just wait and take the extra time at his house, that way he will familiarize himself with the whole install. Again Thank You.

What is your definition of "regular setup stuff". When you boot the new machine, it will ask you basic stuff like language, and to pair the remote, and I believe to connect to network. You can do all these, and the box will then be able to take any updates (firmware and/or software). Then when you give it to your son, he only needs to connect to his wifi (easy enough), and add his IPTV provider credentials. If you want to test it, you can possibly even use your IPTV server credentials to test the box, and then when you are done, you can easily delete the server entry, leaving it blank for your son to be able to enter a new server. I do this all the time for friends and colleagues all the time. These boxes do NOT force you to sign into services like google play, etc...

Hello everyone. I have received a new unit that I got for my son. My question is , can I do the newest firmware update to this unit prior to bringing it to his house without doing all the regular setup stuff. It would be nice to give him an already to use unit. Thanks

As mentioned, it is NOT possible.

As I am saying , I want to mirror the Live Tv app from the buzz android tv box to a Television in a different floor as Casting , is there any way of doing so ? I am not looking to run a new Hdmi cable through the floor/wall .

If you mean cast the Live TV from the Buzz App to another device This isn't possible

Hi there. I have a Buzztv B5.I am looking to cast the "TV Live " to another set of TV via casting process. Can you provide information & steps on doing that ? Miracast only provide casting to the Buzztv as an input . I do need an output cast from the Buzztv Live TV.

Sorry I double clicked and didn't notice that it had been posted twice until now. I was unsure where to post the question. I will watch more closely in the future.

That worked. Thanks

as far freezing could be isp or network related. I have heard some people same isp with different equipment (router) from same isp being throttled. so allowing url in security or disabling it helps as well as using different DNS (google or open dns..etc) in the box also helps.

I have 3 favourite categories no issues

Live TV is set to "Primary" and VOD+TV Series is set to "Backup". However, I found an option called "Tunneled Playback" ON which I turned OFF now. Let me check if things improved. In the meantime please let me know if the servers are configured correctly or they need any adjustment?

Sure it is not his internet ? If he is using WiFi, maybe as a test have him try using a direct ethernet cable. Speed is not the only factor for internet connection. It needs to be stable. Fast and unstable is useless. Better slightly slower and stable. And not all wifi routers are created equal. I've given my B5 to my mom and she has no complaints (it is hard wired to her old asus router - not wifi) and have not reset it ever since I installed it over a year ago.

OK so then if this is not the issue, the complaint is constant freezing from the server, that I and others do not esperance (same server). So my solution is to just reset the box every once and a while. Should I be recommending clearing some cache memory somewhere and if so where.

I don't see an issue saving them as favorites. That is what it was designed for. For TV Series keep in mind that if your service provider changes servers on and series_id in the back end or shuffles things around, your favorites may show the program and imdb/tvdb summary of the show, but may not show the different seasons and episodes available (if the series_id has changed). If this happens, you would need to remove that TV show from favorites and then search for it, and add it back. It happens from time to time. For LiveTV channels, I have way over 200 favorites and I even have 2 favorites categories (one for me, and one for the boss herself). For TV Shows, I typically have a dozen or so favorites which are the ones I am following typically. For Movies, I typically add them to my favorites when browsing, to tag them "to watch". But once I finish watching them, I untag them. But I don't see any issue adding them to favorites. Sure the B5 is the entry level basic series 5 box, and relatively slower than the more expensive boxes, but it won't harm to add favorites. That is one of the basic features, may as well us it.

Is it a good idea to save a bunch of show, mostly series or 24/7 categories as favourites on say a B5 or any BT5 box? So like on guy probably has save 100 or so favourites. Is that advisable? I told him just get a Princess Auto Keyboard and search your series/ 24/7 and us them directly. Like each favourite is it taking much memory? What is the best way to manage this?

Try creating a new server entry (you can use the same URL and user/password as the one you already have). And see if using the new server entry seems any better. PS: Are you sure you have not changed your default players ? If you go into the menu->Settings->Configuration, what are your LiveTV and VOD/TVSeries players set 2 (they should be the first 2 options on top). LiveTV should ideally be set to "Primary" for best performance.

do you have force usb ts on?
