Well it is coming up on 2 years with, what I thought was going to be my dream machine. Well it didn't work out that way, and I will be moving in a different direction. I purchased a BuzzTV Classic and it works flawlessly. Same account, same provider. Catchup works, channel change works, basically everything just works. That doesn't seem like too much to ask of a TV box. I am not sure why you were not able to get the P6 working equally as well after almost 2 years, but you have not. Thanks for all the work though.

Just had mine delivered (UK) Where is BuzzTV 6?

I guess i thought because it was available on the google playstore that it might happen. But making it only for buzz boxes makes sense.

why would they make it available to any box not made by buzz?

This version will probably always be locked to BuzzTV boxes. For now it is the Gbox (since that is the only official google box BuzzTV makes), but who knows if they eventually come out with another one. All other BuzzTV boxes (like the Classic, X5, U5, etc..) still get their BuzzTV 5 software via OTA updates direct from Buzz. And the P6 and L1 get BuzzTV 6 via OTA updates.

Will it always be locked to the g series box or will it ever be available for other official android boxes ?

Its locked to the gbox Other devices get a demo server Nothing else

Just another update so the app is now available on the google playstore so i installed it on my g series box, so far so good. Im assuming you can use this app on other official android boxes. I did test it but i was unable to add a server because when i highlighted the servers icon and press ok to access it it wont do anything. But it did work on the g series box. Just something i noticed

the box doesn't use the mobile version

Thanks a ton Emporium for the detailed reply. I really appreciate that.

try uninstalling updates for Google Play Services settings/apps

It's not the update Google is blocking devices from using their own apps on certain devices, not just Buzz We have no control over this We found a working solution for YouTube But YouTube TV we cannot fix.

Thanks guys with your help it looks like stretch worked thank you for your time

thats correct or some time you may see round HDMI option area. one of my old tv I have to setup around 90% and that fits my screen.

Is this the INITIAL power up ? I am pretty sure the FIRST power up you do need to connect it to the internet for it to download it's latest updates and install some remote apps. But after the first boot, it does not "NEED" the network.

OK mais le probleme c est quand je le connecte au démarage il cherche une sans arret conection internet et il ne s ouvre pas completement

I don't have an AI yet, but there are typically zoom options under the settings, display options for most of the buzz boxes. This allows you to scaled the video output to fit your screen if it does not by default. I have never "needed" to use it, but I have seen it and played with it a few times just to test.

This is not the section for the mobile app. The Mobile app section ( https://stbtalk.com/forum/127-buzztv-mobile-apps/ ) will be made available soon for posting issues found with the mobile app specifically.

First off i would like to say is love the buzz 6 update from buzz 5, lots of great additions. Here is my problem: The first time i set it up i added all my settings and then i noticed width wise that no channel fills the screen I took and factory pin reset and tried again, this time i setup one server and before doing any settings it was still there, i made single display setting and nothing work So i did another factory pin reset put in one server and hope someone can solve this for me Thank you for your time

Because it was label buzztv 6 mobile app

The integrated BuzzTV software is designed for IPTV which by nature would need internet connection. Except as du mentioned above, you can play saved recording/downloads. Guess you can also install a 3rd party software like Plex, Jellyfin or even just use VLC and browse a local NAS or other local storage (USB or network) to play local media.

you can play stuff off an external drive or play saved recordings/downloads

I assume you want to record to a USB stick ? You'd need a USB stick with a decent write speed (not any cheap crap). Needs to be formatted, ideally as exFAT. Insert into X5. From withing BuzzTV app, press Menu button, and go to PVR->PVR Options->Recording Storage Location. By default it is probably on "Internal shared storage". If it sees your USB drive, it will show it there. That is for PVR Recordings. Now if you want to download Movies/TV Series, you would need to setup the PVR->PVR Options->Download Storage" option. You cannot download to internal storage. so by default it is set to NA if you have nothing. Select it, and if you have USB storage, you can select it. Once you select some external storage, you will be able to "download" your VOD/TV Series. However keep in mind that it is very dependent on your server and the number of connections you have. If you exceed you max connections, your download will stop/fail. Keep in mind that if you are channel surfing as it downloads, sometimes some servers take time to update and realize you have changed channels and may assume you have multiple simultaneous connections as you channel surf and will disconnect/fail your download.

Je voudrais savoir si il y a moyen de faire fonctionner ma boite multimédia (buzz 4900 ou un autre) sans internet

Hi, I am also facing the same issue. Any guidance on how to setup download storage will be highly appreciated. Thanks
