I'm reporting that my issue connecting to my XC provider is fixed. Thanks

XC defaults to using XML EPG Mac uses a different method Could be that the EPG is up on the XML but down on Server method via MAC MAC only has one method for EPG, XC in Configuration can use XML or Server

So my understanding, you are wondering why there is no "buzztv SMART REMOTE" option ? Keep in mind the remotes are very different. The X5 and the Powerstation have "smart" remotes (BT400/BT500) which you program to your TV and all. The Classic uses the BT350 which is not a Smart remote by the same definition. You do pair it using Bluetooth, and other than the 4 IR learning buttons, there is no programming the remote to match your TV, etc.. I typically don't program my BT400/BT500 remotes to my TV anyhow, but some do. The BT350 does not have that option (and I personally prefer it that way). I prefer the BT100/200/250 and 350 remote layouts, over the BT400/BT500 remotes, but that is personal taste. Since you are not "programming/matching" the remote to your TV in the same fashion you really don't need that app on the Classic Anniv, hence why it is not included. That smart remote app is included typically on devices that ship with the BT400 or BT500 remote.

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.

New Firmware Update X5 SS March 12th, 2026 Firmware V20260225 UPDATE TAKES UP TO 20 MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD + INSTALL YOU CANNOT REVERT BACK Firmware Changes: - Updated Youtube Please Leave Feedback Below

This is the first Google box by Buzz. Typically Buzz handles both Firmware and app (BuzzTV 6) updates themselves, and they are pushed by OTA. On this device, the box firmware will be handled by Google. And BuzzTV 6 app will be updated through the play store, by Buzz themselves (like the release an update of any other app on the play store). BuzzTV 6 get's regular updates now on the PowerStation and L1 (via OTA). So I am sure it will get regular updates through the Play store also. To get an idea of how long it will be supported, BuzzTV 5, was introduced at end of 2020 I believe, and it is still getting regular updates today on all boxes. Frequency depends on a number of factors, including criticality of any bugs that may exist, time of year (summer vacations or holidays), etc.. Sometimes it is a few in a month, other times it can be a 2 or 3 months, but with a larger update at the end. Hope this helps.

Having it boot up every day is the best imo.

Did you try 0000?

Sorry I double clicked and didn't notice that it had been posted twice until now. I was unsure where to post the question. I will watch more closely in the future.

That worked. Thanks

you only need one thread and this one is in the wrong section

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

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

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

Its in the google play store

Firmware is done by Google Buzz does the buzz6 app that will be on the Google playstore The manufacturer has nothing to dowith firmware

When in the TV screen, press the menu button, and it would be on the bottom left.. 5.0.xxx Oh, and do you have you have your box set for shutdown or suspend when you press power button ? ie: when you power up, do you see the buzz logo every time ?

I have issues with EPG as well with this update. This is for an X5 box using XC login . It gives me "No information" with EPG, and scroll to 8 hours later it has a few hours of valid EPG. Weird I tried to clear EPG and change to "server" login and back to XML . Same thing . I installed Tivimate on this box and used same XC login . EPG works fine on Tivimate.

Sorry, but what is you XI server ? An IPTV service ? Is it using MAC/XC or M3U ? Can you connect to this service using another device ? When you say it doesn't connect, can you elaborate ? What message do you get ?

what you have done to troubleshoot so far? more info needed

First of all, it is not a "beta". It has not been a beta for nearly 5 years now What version are you running now (hit menu button, and should be on bottom left). Latest version is 5.0.961 For your EPG issue, have you tried to "CLEAR EPG" to see if it repopulates ? If EPG gets corrupted for some reason, it may fail to subsequently update, so you may need to clear it. Should be in the menu->settings->configuration if you scroll down to the EPG section. After you select "CLEAR EPG" give it 4 or 5 seconds, until you get the message saying it was cleared, before returning to main video screen.

What is your definition of "regular setup stuff". When you boot the new machine, it will ask you basic stuff like language, and to pair the remote, and I believe to connect to network. You can do all these, and the box will then be able to take any updates (firmware and/or software). Then when you give it to your son, he only needs to connect to his wifi (easy enough), and add his IPTV provider credentials. If you want to test it, you can possibly even use your IPTV server credentials to test the box, and then when you are done, you can easily delete the server entry, leaving it blank for your son to be able to enter a new server. I do this all the time for friends and colleagues all the time. These boxes do NOT force you to sign into services like google play, etc...

as far freezing could be isp or network related. I have heard some people same isp with different equipment (router) from same isp being throttled. so allowing url in security or disabling it helps as well as using different DNS (google or open dns..etc) in the box also helps.

Sure it is not his internet ? If he is using WiFi, maybe as a test have him try using a direct ethernet cable. Speed is not the only factor for internet connection. It needs to be stable. Fast and unstable is useless. Better slightly slower and stable. And not all wifi routers are created equal. I've given my B5 to my mom and she has no complaints (it is hard wired to her old asus router - not wifi) and have not reset it ever since I installed it over a year ago.

It was mentioned here the update was sent to all Versions of OS 9 + 11 + 13

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

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

Thats just the day it was built We tested it for 3 weeks before sending it as an update to the publc

I do to. All my boxes are set to shutdown. It's one of the first things I do. This way, always sure to have a clean boot with no residual crap from other apps or anything that is misbehaving. The whopping 30 seconds it takes to boot the box is not going to make a huge difference. The frustration of dealing with leftover crap from a standby/sleep/suspend or whatever you want to call it is just not worth it.

There are infinity apps in aptoid market.Not sure its the one you want

First of all it has nothing to do with BuzzTV 6 (which is the software running on the boxes). Post in the thread related to your specific hardware box. BuzzTV 6, is available on the Powerstation and on the L1. Both are very different.

Can you post a pic of your screen?

for tv setup is easy. all he has to open up buzztv smart remote app from Home Screen and follow onscreen instructions. super easy.

I have 3 favourite categories no issues

I don't see an issue saving them as favorites. That is what it was designed for. For TV Series keep in mind that if your service provider changes servers on and series_id in the back end or shuffles things around, your favorites may show the program and imdb/tvdb summary of the show, but may not show the different seasons and episodes available (if the series_id has changed). If this happens, you would need to remove that TV show from favorites and then search for it, and add it back. It happens from time to time. For LiveTV channels, I have way over 200 favorites and I even have 2 favorites categories (one for me, and one for the boss herself). For TV Shows, I typically have a dozen or so favorites which are the ones I am following typically. For Movies, I typically add them to my favorites when browsing, to tag them "to watch". But once I finish watching them, I untag them. But I don't see any issue adding them to favorites. Sure the B5 is the entry level basic series 5 box, and relatively slower than the more expensive boxes, but it won't harm to add favorites. That is one of the basic features, may as well us it.

Alright, after I left, I continued testing to figure out why it was stuck on the blue screen. After a few tries, it stopped launching the page altogether. Then, after a few hours, it did launch with the blue screen again, but most of the time it wouldn’t. So, I tried doing a factory reset from the settings, but even after that, the issue stayed the same. At this point, I decided to do a hard reset. When I opened up the back cover, I realized that a few weeks ago I had installed a 256GB NVRAM which had been working fine until now. I stopped the reset process and powered on the box again. When I checked storage settings, under removable storage it oddly showed my device as safely ejected even though it was properly connected. I tried recording but my drive wasn’t detected. So, I shut down the device again, removed the NVRAM, powered it back on, and now everything works perfectly. I can launch the update page without any issues. It’s really strange that the NVRAM caused this problem and somehow got ejected on its own. By the way, I never reinserted the NVRAM because I need to return it to my friend. But anyway, everything is back to normal now. Thanks!

Even though it runs Android 9 I didn't see it posted in the section. Just realized it's now listed in the discontinued models section. Will check when I return home if the update is available. Thanks

No issues here

Thank you for the information. Much appreciated. I will see if my provider can shake anything loose on his end.

Have you allowed installation of apps from unknown sources

do have anything (external devices) else attached to the box? if yes then disconnect and try again. if no then disconnect everything including HDMI and try to turn ON and see what happens. also, try a different power outlet in the house if possible. any light indicating that its receiving power? more info is always helpful and always provide anything you have done to troubleshoot.

Are you sure it is not your service ? As of last night, one service which used to be very popular, just went black on anyone still using it with apps like BuzzTV (and many others), will no longer work. They decided to go a completely new approach, using a custom app, and your credits do NOT transfer over They changed a number of URLs since last October when they first had issues, and yesterday (Friday the 13th) was the last straw as far as I know. So make sure it is not your service. MAC, XC API or M3U type of server login ?
