I knew it came back on its own Had reset on the brain Thanks

they did not reset. it came back on its own "UPDATE: looks like things came back up “somehow”."

No there isnt any settings for that

A little confused how you did a reset if screen is dark? Please clarify

Hello, I had been watching things on my X5 all day today without issue until about 10 minutes ago. The screen just went blank and has not recovered. Even with a reboot. I unplugged it for a while thinking it might be overheated but still a blank screen when I plugged it back in. I left it plugged in and running for a while to see if anything changed but again just remains blank. Oddly enough when I touch the X5 it feels cool like it hasn’t been running a while (even after plugging it in and leaving it on). Is there a way to externally reset it? I have only had it maybe 2 weeks, maybe it died on me? UPDATE: looks like things came back up “somehow”. I will have to keep an eye on it.

I have an end user who mentions that the led light on the front panel is black. A reboot of the box did not solve the problem. is there something in the menu settings to turn it off or on? thanks

I have an X5 but I'm using the 250 remote mainly for the air mouse. My tv is jvc Fire TV and the included bt400 remote controls tv just fine (volume, power,source). The 250 can't learn the volume, source etc because it's a fire tv remote for the tv (Bluetooth not IR) but it will control the volume for the buzz box. It gets wierd though when I watch something in 5.1 surround via an iptv app like Tivimate. Then the 250 controls the tv volume but if its not 5. 1 surround it only control the buzz box volume. Anybody have an idea why this happens.?

I am also on a 256 GB microSD card exfat and working great.

change theme at the bottom

I tried to multi-quote a post and it said "sorry, not found" and when I try to quote a post it just brings me to the top of the page. Whoever the mod is here you might want to look at the user permissions. Anyway, on formatting your micro SD card, you should use Exfat. Why? Interchangeability between mac and pc for one, but more importantly, better memory management . NTFS is better suited for hard drives. Of course, either will work. Also,i tried a 256 GB microsd card and it was recognized fine.

Why ask?

why would I lie?lol

Emporium, dishuser you guys are correct! After recording a scheduled recording the box will not shut down but it does go back to the home screen and no bandwidth is used after the recording is recorded (at least that is what it does on the U5 box). This is GREAT!!

Ok guys you are correct. When I set a program to record then went back to the home screen and shut down. It woke up, recorded the program, after recording the program it went back to the home screen. How I am doing another test. Setting a recording up, then going to live tv then shutting down, I know it will wakeup and record the program I have scheduled to record but after recording I want to see if it goes to the live channel I was watching before shutting down or if it will return to the home screen after the recording. I will let you know what I find out, I am hoping it returns to the home screen after recording.

home page not main menu main menu is in live tv

On the 5 series boxes (like your U5), it goes back to main menu even when you come out of standby (if you have it set to go into standby, instead of poweroff). On the 4000 series boxes, if you go into standby, it will resume wherever you were before going into standby. You say "wake and record the program", but truth is, if it wakes, it goes to main menu and launches the record. It never launches liveTV. The recording is done in the background if I recall. you will see a message come up on the bottom middle of the home screen, but that is it. It doesn't launch liveTV if it is just a recording.

box isn't even truly functional when it's recording if it was the menu wouldn't look like this

I will test this right now on my U5 and report back. After setting a program to record at a future time I will return to the home screen and turn the box off. I know it will wake and record the program but I think after the program records it will remain on the same channel playing and not return to the home screen.

then you've never done a scheduled recording and shut box off because that's exactly what it does

Ok I didn't think that was correct because as far as I know none of mine go to the home screen after recording. (4900,U5 and my XRS4500)

Instead of asking, why not just try it yourself with a test recording ? When it powers up to record it goes to the home screen and stays there. It does not even launch the liveTV app in order to record. So once it finishes recording, there is nothing else streaming. And if you are worried of it streaming when you are not there, you can also set the option in the LiveTV app to exit after a certain period of not remote activity. I have mine set to 2hrs, so if I fall asleep while watching TV, after 2 hrs, it will exit to main screen anyhow and stop streaming.

Done they just sent it it’s now at 5.0.799 dramatically helps fix the catchup issues and PlutoTV now works on primary player and not secondary Thank you buzzTV and everyone that was super quick assistance this vidstick 4100 runs much faster

no I lied

old? it's a lot newer than what you had live tv/menu/settings/check for updates

Is that statement correct (It goes to home screen after recording so no bandwidth used)?
