Hello, My new unit with the bt350 remote setup and updates went perfectly... Thanks to help from STB`s moderators. I did notice however that unlike my other boxes that there is no radio button icon for the remote on the home screen page (for the updates and such). Is this something I should be worried about?

This is the first Google box by Buzz. Typically Buzz handles both Firmware and app (BuzzTV 6) updates themselves, and they are pushed by OTA. On this device, the box firmware will be handled by Google. And BuzzTV 6 app will be updated through the play store, by Buzz themselves (like the release an update of any other app on the play store). BuzzTV 6 get's regular updates now on the PowerStation and L1 (via OTA). So I am sure it will get regular updates through the Play store also. To get an idea of how long it will be supported, BuzzTV 5, was introduced at end of 2020 I believe, and it is still getting regular updates today on all boxes. Frequency depends on a number of factors, including criticality of any bugs that may exist, time of year (summer vacations or holidays), etc.. Sometimes it is a few in a month, other times it can be a 2 or 3 months, but with a larger update at the end. Hope this helps.

I thought the firmware was made by the manufacturer, which in this case is SEI ROBOTICS... I didn't know that it was Google that made the firmware. Thank you for your answer. But I would have liked you to answer what I asked about the updates.

Firmware is done by Google Buzz does the buzz6 app that will be on the Google playstore The manufacturer has nothing to dowith firmware

Hello, I bought the new G series tv box from buzztv, I don't know anything about this brand, but I liked the technical specifications of the product. How often is this device updated? Is it updated via OTA? Is it constantly updated? I think that all that will also depend on the manufacturer, which in this case I think is SEI ROBOTICS, and as I have read, this manufacturer does not have a very good reputation with firmware. Is it true?

AVR interaction with the PS6 has been the subject (or side discussion) of several topics on this forum as well as other forums since the PS6 hit the market with some PS6 users unable to resolve their problems and either giving up on the PS6 or living with less than desirable situations. I have started a separate topic on the subject here to bring focus on the issue in one place. Also, my family members have grown to despise the PS6 and long for the simpler days of Fire Sticks connected to all our screens (ugh!!) so I feel the need to resolve this somehow. As described in other topics here, we have a Yamaha AVR. This seems to be common with some (but not all) others also having difficulty. It would be quite helpful to hear from you if you are successfully using an AVR with a PS6. Specifically, what make and model of AVR? Sound bars don't seem to cause problems, just AVRs, so I don't think identifying sound bar/AVR combinations will be helpful. Success would be defined as: PS6, TV and AVR consistently functioning entirely as they are intended using just the BT-500 remote, including power on/off and volume.

I tried that too. Didn't save it. Hmm, guess I'll have to contact Buzz TV support about this issue.

I edited end time and selected set recording

I edited the end time and hit save and it does nothing too. in order to set that change what did you do, would you please go by a step by step of what you did Dishuser?

I did a recording from 6:00 to 7:00 and changed end time to 7:05 and it recorded 65 minutes

Did that too, same results.

press the back button

Another issue I am having is when setting up a scheduled recording. I edit the stop time to 30 minutes more and when I click to set the recording it reverts back to the original stop of the stop time, I've tried to save the edit I made and it still reverts back original stop time. I noticed that when I am in the edit window it does not give me option to save the change. I have to hit the home button to exit the edit window. Am I performing the function right. Can someone tell me how perform the edit function correctly?

Tried that too, no change with the guide.

Since they are both XC, have you tried switching EPG source (menu->settings->configuration - and scroll down to EPG Source), to switch between xml and server epg, as mentioned by aab above ?

Sorry, didn't state that both are XC.

I am having same issue on 2 servers. I have tried all your suggestions Emporium, without any success. Thinking this is a server issue, seems strange that it's happening with both servers.

Any solution to this issue?

I had that issue ages ago (back in Nov 2023 - On firmware: V20231104 and IPTV version: 5.0.906) when the box first came out and it's like the video subsystem has failed to initialize. Provided logs to buzz and it was determined that the issue was that for some reason HDCP was not being activated. Since then I changed TV & Cables and it hasn't happened since. I suspect that the TV was occasionally incorrectly reporting HDCP capabilities, or cable was causing the problem. I do have another box (xrs4900), which is connected to my really old Sharp Aquos and if I accidently turn the box on, before the TV is on, there is no video shown by the box, and I need to reboot it.

This is what I do except once every week or every other week, the video/audio does not show up till I reboot. It is as if something does not get initialized.

XC defaults to using XML EPG Mac uses a different method Could be that the EPG is up on the XML but down on Server method via MAC MAC only has one method for EPG, XC in Configuration can use XML or Server

Can you give us a summary ? For the benefit of anyone else who may eventually have an issue similar to what you described

Solved this issue. Thanks for reply.

Having it boot up every day is the best imo.

5.0.961 Currently it seems to shutdown, I used to have it on all the time but this stopped working at some point so now I boot it up each day so I have the buzz logo every day.
