I just purchased my buzztv powerstation 6 and set it up. However, my tv screen constantly blinks. Sometimes this happens every 30 seconds or so and sometimes it blinks every couple of minutes. This issue has never occurred before with my tv and only started when using the buzztv device. I have done the following to fix this issue: 1.) unplugged and switched out the hdmi cord (tried 2 different hdmi cords), 2.) plugged the hdmi cord into a different hdmi outlet on the tv, 3.) unplugged the buzztv device and started it back up to restart the system. However, none of these have worked to fix the constant tv screen blinking. The tv screen blinking is very quick but has become annoying and I’m not sure what else to do. Maybe there is something in the settings to fix this or perhaps it’s a hardware malfunction with the buzztv device. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

ok I will check tomorrow and see if it changes it behavior. thanks

Lol.. I know.. What I meant to say is the issue you describe, works fine for me. When I go to that screen I get the proper update screen with all the details. But I have the other issue I described under that.

not aspect related issue

That aspect works fine for me. Only issue I have, which I already reported to aab, is: While watching a channel, Press "OK" to bring up channel list. Then LEFT on DPAD to bring up categories side panel. If you scroll down to the server name (in my case "w*****" for example) which also has a small down arrow to the right indicating that it's categories are expanded below, and you press "OK" on the server name to technically "rollup" the categories from that server, the left side panel all goes GRAY. Not sure if it was there prior to .281 (didn't really test that), but I just noticed it a few days ago. Does not seem to affect everyone however. But DU has also reproduced it, but others have not.

No issues here

after the update if you go to update from settings or update icon from Home Screen I get blue screen. only way to exit by pressing Home button.

Just checked BOTH of my xrs4900 devices and they are BOTH at 961. And so was my old E2 and xrs4500.

I've noticed this update wasn't sent to the 4900

you'll probably have to get sent a forced update you missed a firmware update

can do it from home screen menu/settings/check updates

connect to server while watching live tv try to update if still not then pm your Mac id to allaboutbuzz.

My buzz5 is version 5.0.945 updated 12/23/2024 clicking on settings, then check updates takes me to server settings. How do I get 5.0.961? thanks

Certain WD NVME require a Firmware update, because they just disappear/get deleted from the BIOS at random This happens on Windows even Look up a firmware update for your model, as this could be the case for you. WD released a Firmware update for this problem about a year ago You will need to connect it to a PC or MAC to do the Firmware update though.

no It was WD NVME... I'll try the reader and see if I can reformat it. thank you!

So I managed to do the factory reset and recording works to the internal storage. But it does look like my name is fried!!! Firmare : P6L 256 V20250815 1.0.281

Hard Factory reset of P6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bnzmXNyXcg Maybe the NVMe is just corrupt. May need to be completely reformatted. I have an USB NVMe adapter and I typically format my drives on my PC before installing them on media players. I have this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09XWLGD48 But there are many cheaper ones available, like this one, which is under CAD$20. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CSVT8KF1 Just curious, was in possibly formatted as internal "device storage" instead of "Portable storage" ? Formatting as internal device storage can be a real pain in the b$tt. Android should do away with that concept in 2026. If it is formatted as internal device storage and then it gets corrupted somehow, it will corrupt the whole device. As "Portable Storage" it runs independently of the internal storage.

I had the same issue with screen blacking out and going back to home screen. I did a factory reset and issue no longer happens

when I go into device preferences, it shows internal storage of 242GB. if I go to updates, the whole screen blacks out and goes back to the home screen. when I put in the NVME it doesnt see it under device prefs. Did the box fry the NVME? since the box is acting weird?? how do I reset the box?

Definitely odd. I just checked and I have internal showing and "android" which is a small 250GB NVMe I have installed in it. And if you go to Settings->device Preferences->Storage you don't see the "Removable storage" ? HAVE YOU UNPLUGGED the POWER for 10 seconds on the box, instead of just power off/power on ?

Reset your buzz

yes, I have taken it out and rebooted it. Nothing different with it in or out.

Sorry to say that for buzz 5, my url now.comes.up as a 404 error whereas before it said.not supported. Works with buzz 6. But this doesn't allow downloads unlike buzz 5 which does

Did you remove the drive?

it won't let me change where to record to. it freezes when I go to select storage. It isnt seeing the internal storage. I have to go back to main menu/guide. It is locking up for any recordings. Seems to be the box??
