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?

Thanks. Will do

Followed your instructions and even restarted the box subsequently but, still no improvement.

As a test, From the main screen, try going to the Settings icon on the top and go into settings, then scroll down to "Apps". Select "BuzzTV 5", and then scroll down and "Clear CACHE" (be careful if you delete data instead, you will need to recreate our server entry and redo all your favorites). See if that makes a difference.

Email buzz with all your info so they can look into it

Hi Friends, Eversince the update prior to 5.0.961 (probably 5.0.960) on my XRS4500 I've been facing lag in channel switching. Especially, if I switch from VOD to Live Chennels the previously watched channel shows a black screen. I have to then scroll down several times to find a channel that is showing and doesn't have a black screen. Even if the channels are showing, there is a lot of lag before they appear on screen. Any solution?

mine still worx

Timeshift no longer works on my Powerstation. I have performed a factory reset, uninstalled my ssd and still no timeshift. It was working great before the last update.

you only need one thread and this one is in the wrong section

anything that comes preinstalled will install again

For the ones that come with the box initially I am pretty sure it does, since after a fresh clean boot, it goes ahead, downloads and installs all the 3rd party apps (and you see the message on screen as it loads them). However anything YOU installed, absolutely not. You will need to download and reinstall them yourself.

If I factory reset my P6 will the original preloaded apps be reinstalled? My experience with other systems has made me a little nervous about doing this to deal with a couple of issues.
