T28, do you connect your receiver to the TV eARC HDMI port or one of the non-ARC ports ?? Does it matter for HDMI-CEC performance -- I do not use any TV apps that need to play back audio through the receiver ??

I should have know to do that brfore making this post. That been said a big thank you for the reply and it fix the issue. Have a great weekend

did you try a reboot?

I turned on my box today and my whole main page has shrunk to a tiny square in the top left hand corner. How do you change it back to it's regular size? What would have caused this so I can make sure it was not something I did by mistake.

what firmware and software versions do you have?

Just purchased x5 today for my wife who only watches YouTube on the box and it doesn't work...says the device is unsupported! I spent all day trying to update it with various YouTube apks and none will work and neither can the pre installed YT app be uninstalled...how stupid is that??? Unless this is fixed immediately I will have to return the buzz x5 for a refund.

Hi Joe, thanks for posting this and keeping it constructive. On the security patch date, yes, the P6 is currently on an older Android security patch level. That’s a valid callout and we agree it should be more current. I’ve already flagged this internally and we’re pushing to improve the security patch cadence on P6 going forward. On Netflix, Disney and home theater style Plex use, it comes down to certification and licensing. P6 is Android 13 AOSP, not Google TV certified Android TV. The TV versions of apps like Netflix and Disney require certification and DRM compliance to run properly and to support features like 4K, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Also worth noting, Google does not certify every chipset. As powerful as RK3588 is, it cannot be Google TV certified, which is why P6 remains an AOSP performance and IPTV focused device. On the Triple M video being taken down, we don’t have any official information from YouTube or the creator, so I don’t want to speculate. Appreciate you bringing it up. Cheers

Any way I can install an older version of the tv app? my current :- XRS4900 Firmware V20220923 IPTV Version 5.0.956

P6 runs on Android 13, which is actually one of the few mainstream media boxes that has such a later version of Android. And DU mentioned above, security updates end in 2026. One of the other big media box manufacturers released their "latest box" last fall (Sep 2025), and they released it with Android 12, which google discontinued security updates on Android 12 since March 2025. There are a few generic boxes which advertise Android 14, but but they are generic boxes which you can't compare, since most don't even get any updates after delivery. Most people do not use these boxes for very sensitive tasks. No banking, or browsing the IRS/CRA or other sites which they would be afraid of being compromised. They are primarily for consuming media, and typically behind a router using NAT anyhow, so rarely facing the outside world. So unless you sideload some sketchy app or addon for some package, there is very little risk of anything. And if you suspect something, a simple reset, will clear it to factory settings, if you were smart enough to take a backup of your servers/favorites,etc.. you can restore your backup and be back up in less than 10 minutes. So there is really nothing wrong for these purpose built devices to run older versions of Android (Andoid 9 and 11 are also very popular for media boxes). And unless you have a "certified" box for netflix, disney, etc. you will always have to jump through hoops unless you sideload custom mods. And you say "plex" ? What is wrong with plex. Not a huge fan of it, but it works. I have Plex server running on one of my synology, and plex client on most of my buzz boxes and it works. It all comes down to what you want to do with the box. But as a media player there is no super critical need to have latest security fixes. How many new Android TVs out there are still being sold with Android 13 or lower ? You'd be surprised.

security updates ends this year

The Lon.TV YouTuber just posted a highly critical review of the P6 (the low-end version, not the Unlimited). Aside from perseverating on the lack of support for certain audio and video codecs (features that are lost on me), ignoring the Power Station’s purposeful design as an IPTV player, as well as overlooking the plethora of admonitions about using Netflix, Disney+ and Plex on the Power Station, he does make a potentially useful observation that the last security update for the Power Station (according to him) was in August 2023. Is this correct, and if so, does Buzz TV plan on improving the frequency of the security updates for the Power Station? On a related subject, the YouTuber Triple M recently posted a review of the Power Station that was taken down by YouTube. Does anybody have any information about the content of this review?

Give buzz all your info so they can look at the issue

I tried all of the above suggestions. EPG will not refresh and update. Buzztv 6 not worth it! Same Streams on other apps working fine. Go figure!

Just the one. But it does this from a power down start

how many connections do you pay for?

I have the same issue. Cannot load portal: Not supported. yet tivimate works perfect. i can sometimes get it to work by first running tivimate then exit and run buzztv but doesn’t always work.

app update is menu/settings/check updates

App and firmware are updated all together ? Not necessarily. The app is updated typically more frequently than the firmware. Your Firmware is dated 2025-11-27, and App version 5.0.956 was on 2025-12-15.

You're using the exact same account on tivimate? As that app stays logged in, even in the background The error message you're getting is a cloudflare error, its basically kicking the app connection We have no control over this

Yes of course

These steps resolved the issue Go into Android Settings Go to Device Preferences Go to Display and Sound Go to Advanced sound settings Go to Select Formats I think you have it set to none:never use surround sound Switch it to None And it should fix Primar player with the unknown stream error issue We figured this out via PM

Hi! I mentioned firmware to mention everything is up to date since app and firmware are updated all together. Buzz version if I got the right number is 5.0.956 Yes, Tivimate and IMplayer and installed on this same box and both working with m3u/xc api format without trouble No special characters in username nor password. Once again it works like a charm for 2 years (with same provider) and suddenly stopped working properly. I haven't tryied any other provider

Yes, same url and infos, just different format

remote wars?
