Redhusker24 Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 I'm not a big fan of the remote that came with the U5. What remote do you recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is by far my favorite Buzz remote (came with my xrs4900 units), but it is not that easy to buy any more. One touch control for backlight (and super simple to activate, even in the dark) like du mentioned, and instead of playing with CEC to control TV, it has 4 IR learning buttons (TV Power, TV Input toggle, and TV Volume up and down). The only thing it doesn't have, which was added to the BT250 is the airmouse feature (which is a very nice feature, but for my usage style on a buzz, I don't really don't use that too much anyhow).

Hence why the second recommendation was the BT250 (by nbs above) if you can live without the backlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't check your link, read it quickly and assumed it was a link to the "spec/brochure" But it is available on the US shopping page, but not on the Canadian one. Guess you can always shop on the US site and ship to Canada (if you are in Canada). Just keep in mind prices are in USD for Canadian shoppers.

I went all the way to payment screen and put in my Canadian address and it still remained in USD. Anyhow, whatever.. Just something to keep an eye out for. At least I like the fact that it CLEARLY tells you it is in USD so there are no surprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhusker24 Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 When I turn on my tv with the U5 Remote it doesn't come on right away. The light stays red on the box. It takes 2 minutes for the box to turn on with blue light. Why is that? I also have a Nvidia Shield and it turns on right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhusker24 Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 I can use it and move it around like normal but in the remote app it says remote connecting and the blacklight option is greyed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
