After the Buzztv logo, the box goes to the Android recovery screen. It says "Can't load Android system, your data may be corrupt". Factory reset doesn't help. Any ideas?

what brand tv? https://buzztv.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/BT-500_manual_v3.pdf

look at buzztv power station section. https://stbtalk.com/forum/114-powerstation/

The BT 500 is perfect but can't control volume on X5 SS and it won't pair to TV. Any suggestions where to look? I use BT 500 on other X5 without no trouble

I just got the BuzzTV powerstation 6 a few days ago, and I cannot get it to pass through Dolby Atmos at best if I go in and manually check it, I can get it to do Dolby audio unknown sources that should work and do work on my shield and Apple TV. I do have certified 48GBPS cables and I’ve had no issues before. All the boxes are checked for everything that I’ve researched online and that I know from years of experience and still know Atmospass through. Called support and they were a joke. Looks like I might return the box. Any help would be awesome and I’d be very grateful for it. Also, this thing seems to take its time loading most things and I have gigabyte Internet.

Hence why it is always a good idea to use the backup feature that is within the BuzzTV app (menu->settings->configuration) and select backup/restore. Save it to a USB stick (file it generates is tiny, so perfect reuse of those tony old USB sticks). I have some tiny 128MB sticks lying around from ages ago from some promo item thingy, and that is what I use to back all my units up. If you accidently delete data or need to do a factory reset due to a bad update or something, you always have your server info on the USB stick, including all you favorites saved for a quick restore. Back up and running in a few short minutes.

You dont .You have to re-input your server info

what kind of data?

I accidentally deleted the data on buzz tv 5. How do I restore it?

Not enough room ? Has he checked under settings and storage to see if it it really nearly out of storage ? Do they use the internal storage for recording or downloading media ? If so, maybe delete a recording or 2 ?

transfer or delete recordings or some apps.

Friend is trying to download update and being told there is not enough space. Rebooted and got same message. How can I help them work around this issue and get the download? Thanks!

I only managed to get HBO max to work with pass through in advanced system sound settings I have this set to manually select formats this worked for me. Disney plus didn’t work

No, the BT400 only pairs to some limited brands of TVs only. And there is no IR learning keys either. The BT/IR200 series of remotes, does not pair with other devices, but they have 4 keys which can "learn" IR codes from other IR remotes. The IR/BT100 remotes have 2 keys which can "learn" IR codes from other IR remotes. What I typically do in cases like this is set my receiver (and I have an old Yamaha myself), to about the 60% position (which would represent the max volume I would ever use), and then disable the "force max volume" option, so that way the volume buttons on the BT400 remote actually control a variable volume level from the box itself. So when the box says 10%, 50%, etc.. of volume, that represents a proportion of the max level you have already dialed in on your receiver. I know it may not sound convenient, but at least this way, you only need to set a volume once on your receiver, and then the rest of the time, you can control the volume from your Buzz box remote. PS: If you have already tried to pair/program the BT400 remote, you may need to just do a factory reset on the remote. If you wish to factory reset your remote to erase all settings press and hold the D-Pad Down button and the 0 (Zero) button for 4 seconds until it blinks 3 times to indicate the remote is factory reset BT300/400 remote manual: https://buzztv.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BT400-300_manual_MOBILE_v6_Compress.pdf

I want to control the volume of my surround sound with my BT-400 remote. Is it possible to pair this remote to the receiver? If so, how?

Thank you for the replies. I am certain it's not the HDMI itself but I will try a different port. It is an issue I only seem to have on this TV and not the others I have boxes on but there are different streams on each through the provided I use so I suppose it could be the stream service on this TV if it's not the port. It is a newer Samsung Smart TV and sometimes I wonder if the TV itself has some kind of safeguards on it for certain streaming links creating the issue but I figure that's likely a reach. I only notice it on live sports streams in high resolution.

Also, if you have a VPN service available, try installing and using a decent VPN service. Sure it will bring the 900 speed down, but sometimes many ISPs have a tendency of throttling media streams to speeds just enough for HD or FHD.. Anything higher will struggle. Using HEVC/H.265 encoded streams for higher resolution streams, helps quite a bit if that is an option with your provider.

channel freeze and quality is usually server related if you don't have connectivity issues. on your end try to replace HDMI cable and try a different hdmi port on tv if possible.

My X5 Super Sport freezes on higher resolution content. Latest update on it was done in April and it states there are no current updates. I run it on an Ethernet hard wired gigabit fiber optic internet source. Speeds show over 900 up and 900 down. Lower resolution channels seem to be fine but on a 75 inch screen look like garbage. Any ideas on what my issue could be?

yesterday got some time to update my classic and it started to download firmware and during download it also started to download and install buzztv 5 update. during that time I got black screen with buzztv 5 logo which started to flicker. I did not panic and left it alone until firmware got completed. once that completed I got Home Screen and all good. so far so good. thank you

Guess it was muscle memory. Where the back button is on the BT/IR 100/200 remotes, is now the GUIDE/EPG button on the BT250/350 remotes. Guess it would explain why you see the EPG screen. Cheers

Thank you for the quick response. My mistake, using the wrong button! Thanks again

Please provide a little more context. First of all, always start with F/W and S/W versions of your box. You are in what screen when you press the "return" button ? Channel listing, EPG listing, settings menu, etc.. ? And you are talking about the "return" button, and not "last channel" button, correct ? Layout on remotes is slightly different, ensure you are pressing the correct button. Muscle memory can get you to press buttons, in the location you are used to pressing them on older boxes, but they may not correspond to the same function.

Good afternoon, My Classic Ann. Ed. does not go back to previous channel when the return button is pressed, it goes to the EPG ( half the screen will be the EPG and the other half the current program being watched) . I have reloaded from my provider and rebooted numerous times which does not help. I also have a 4900 and a couple of 4500 boxes which always go back to the previous channel. Any suggestions as to what might be the issues? Thank you

That's the issue, even after you regain internet the home tab screen is still blank and you have to reboot. Yes on the P6
