Buzz after I updated my Power station 6 when it rebooted my “My channels” did not reappear although I still had favorites selected. All of my liveTV stations in the EPG will not appear. I love using the Buzz 6 app to watch tv and I use an M3U to connect. On my U5 I don’t have this issue. Please if you can lead in the right direction. If you need further information let me know.

Thanks! I installed Downloads app from Google store then used apk from surfshark website to install. Works like a charm now

You can use aptoid like nbs has mentioned above... However you can also easily download the APK from their web page, put it on USB stick and install it using app installer, or one of the file manager/explorers. https://surfshark.com/download/android Just click on the "download apk" button The reason it probably says it is not compatible is because unlike other boxes that use regular android os, the 5 series of buzz boxes uses a native AndroidTV OS, which is different. So if the author of the App has not tagged or built the app with the proper properties to identify that is it androidTV compatible, it will not show up in play store for the device. Does not mean however that it won't work. I typically keep all the usual apps that I install, as apk on a usb stick and I just install them one after the other, without ever using my google account on the box.

Try aptoid market

Hi there! I got a classic 5 box and wanted to install SurfShark Vpn as my ISP gives me trouble. I've installed on Formuler Z8 and Z11 and it works like a charm. However, when I wanted to install it on classic 5 (way more recent than Formuler Z8!), Google Play says it's not available for it!!! May be I'm wrong but classic 5 is not an android box? How come it's not supported? Does anyone have a way to install it (like with apk or something else?). I have licence and all! Thanks Fred

did you plug in the usb adapter?

how do you connect the arq 100 remote to the vidstick...been trying all day but it doesn't work

Buzz was unable to update so they asked me to return it for service.

How old is that info ? I did not bother to check YT. The P6 has been getting all sorts of fixes, since it was introduced last year. Sure when it was first introduced, like any modern device it had a few bugs. But if you take some time, you can read the release notes of the various updates and you will see there were many audio bugs fixed, including for Bitstream audio, passthrough codecs etc... Even updated HW Codec libraries not long ago to fix rare but potential glitches with some types of streams. Example of one from August 2024 where amongst other things, they addressed the following: If you have a receiver, you will most probably enable passthrough and let the receiver handle the decoding. There was an issue with some passthrough, but they have been addressed over the number of updates.

This is on Youtube Buzz TV PowerStation 6 Incompatibility with Home Theater Systems and Soundbars" Does the X5 SS have the same issues. Thank you, Adam

Manual Update fully works now if you're running this update Previous FWs downloaded it in the background, so if it wasn't downloaded yet and you checked manually. It would say there is no update. As we separated the FW + App Updates now for all future updates after the FW and App update below. To make things easier. Dealers were complaining that you had to reboot the box for an App update.

When he says "manual" update, it is from the Settings screen (from home screen), where it has the option to check for updates don the list. Not using a file physically to update manually.

OK, thank you Emporium. the manual update question was due to allaboutbuzz mentioning above that if the update didn’t automatically popup you could do a manual update.

There is no manual update. I typically leave the box on for a few hours (sometimes overnight) at the main screen.. And after that, I do an actual reboot of the box, and it typically finds it within 2 or 3 minutes after the reboot.

I am currently on Buzz6 app v 1.0.173 (not 1.0.186} since nothing pops up, where do I find the app updates manually? thank you

which volume buttons? there are 2 sets top set doesn't control box volume

Do you have Max volume enabled ? Disable max volume and you can then control the variable volume of the box with the remote. I typically keep the TV volume at about 60% or 70%, and then use the variable volume on the box. Also, the BT250 has 4 button (on the top surrounded by blue line), which are IR learning buttons. So you can even have the remote memorize some of the buttons from your TV (but keep in mind that is IR only, not bluetooth obviously). So those 4 buttons can mimic any 4 buttons of your TV. most people will use them for power, input select, and TV volume +/-, but you can really use them for anything you want. Since in my case, I don't use any other input, I had mapped the "input" button to be the "sleep" button from my TV remote. If you want to program the 4 buttons, you can check out the instructions in the manual: https://buzztv.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/BT-250_Manual_V1.1.pdf

How to get a gt250 remote to fully work with a U5 box can not get the volume to work.

You can email buzz or pm allaboutbuzz with your device id and ask them to send it to your drvice

I buy all my boxes from buzz. I have been trying to get the up date but after hours at a time nothing. I'm going to try a reset next by the looks of it.

Futher to your post it doesn't say you can't use it with your receiver Its referring to initial setup

Both the x5ss and the p6 can be connected to the p6

Good evening: Can I connect the X5 SS through my Denon Receiver without any issues? I know it says you can't with the PS6. Thank you, Adam

did you buy the box from buzztv or another source?
