it's still good to report it in case it was overlooked

Disney+ released an update 4th, 14th and 18th We're currently running the 14th update version. We update Disney+ in the background via OTA. This doesn't require firmware updates, so that didn't cause it. Its just a coincidence I am not sure why Disney is so strict on having the latest updates just to use it. We will send the newest 18th version soon and it will update to all active boxes within 48-72 hours.

Got it! User error so I thank you guys for your patience.

what system? you need to provide pertinent info

where did I post that you can't use it?

Downloading from playstore is not side loading Try aptoid market or download apk from their site Their site says it's compatible with android TV You also have to enable usb debugging according to their website

Yes, fresh batteries resolved the issue. I guess I am just shocked that starting at 50% batt life caused such a dramatic performance decline…or maybe just bad batteries. BT500 is back to it’s normal snappiness.

put in fresh batteries

Update was simple and without problems. Some of the stuff i've been wainting for.

Thanks for the advice guys. I learned more from 2 posts than from all the gobbledegook on YouTube

in my opinion just for recording any SSD with heatsink on it will be fine. but just for peace of mind Samsung 990 pro M.2 NVMe PCIe 4. "Sequential Reads/Writes: Up to 7,450 MBps / 6,900 MBps"

that's what I posted earlier press any button to make it disappear

Anytime I've pushed the mouse button when it's active it's shuts it off

there's also a contest this summer

you can also do that from home screen

in B5 while in the Buzztv app press menu, settings, configurations, toggle on where it says start live tv on boot.

Thank you all, the factory reset did the trick.

This is the thread where it was discussed: https://stbtalk.com/topic/14543-new-official-p6-firmware-buzz-6-app-update-april-24th-2025/#findComment-38950 And further down, starting here: https://stbtalk.com/topic/14543-new-official-p6-firmware-buzz-6-app-update-april-24th-2025/#findComment-38984 People discuss the actual settings needed for audio/video passthrough.

I tried to post the link but c and p is not working on my phone Enter passthrough in the search feature and read the 3rd thread by rainman Ignore the first few posts and start where allaboutbuzz posts

Very fine line between funny and sad. Don't know what kind of help people expect with postings like that, in a generic category which is not even related to hardware.

You wait a year to post an issue which has worked from day 1? See what happens when you leave out info?

why not post in P6 section? P6 has two app buzz5 and buzz6. for buzz6 while in the app press menu, settings, configuration, other settings, and change stat live tv on boot to ON. for buzz5 while in the app press menu, settings, configurations, toggle on where it says start live tv on boot. make sure you are using the HDMI cable that came with it. if yes. then reseat cable on both ends and also try a different hdmi port on your tv if possible.

What version of f/w and software are you using ? This has been fixed, but I don't think is has gone out to general public yet. Will certainly be in next update. It was fixed in early June with the 1.0.183 update but that has only gone out to beta testers for now. Pretty sure an update is not far away. Due to summer holidays everything takes a little longer

Try removing it temporarily and see what happens. And you are using it for apps ? So you formatted it as internal storage ? If you did manage to format as internal storage then that is a big mistake. You should always format as portable storage, and using it for recording and other media is fine. But if you use it for "apps" then as soon as there is any corruption on your unit (which can happen), you will be stuck resetting it completely all the time.

disconnect the storage and reboot

so far so good. thank you

Have you checked to make sure it is not an issue on the server end ?

delete entry and set it up again

yes. you need an update for what device?

once again they're for buzztv functions

Thank, in the future i wont worry too much about it whn it does that again, was just weird. It's working again tonight so no big deal, thanks for letting me know

Pretty sure most boxes come with TeamViewer installed. You can use that. Butting adding portal and stuff on Buzz boxes is so simple. Even guided seniors (non-tech savvy) through the task and it wasn't that difficult..

I'd stick with name brands. Speed is not going to make a huge difference for recording purposes. 5000MBps or 7000MBps you probably won't notice a difference on recording or playback. Samsung, Kingston, Crucial, WD should be fine. And if you can find a model withing these brands which has a heatsink or heat spreader, even better, since the unit is not actively cooled. Don't get their cheapest model line. I personally use a Kingston KC3000 1TB in my unit, which has a low profile heat spreader. Not the cheapest model around, but figured I did not want any hassles. Not that I worry about losing any recording, but it is just something that can be cause other glitches if you use it for TS also. I originally started with a Samsung 980 Pro 500GB (which worked well also), but since I had the Kingston left over from another project, decided to just swap it in.

just push ok or any other button if you already pushed it twice and it remains

That's right and so far I've had no luck with it...lol...but keep trying, you never know...maybe my name will pop up

Glad it is back up. Something obviously got corrupted. Unfortunately if it is not something we can replicate, so it is hard to "correct" the unknown. If it happens again, I would consider temporarily leaving the nvme out of the box for a while, to see if it is potentially the source of the issue. Not all nvme drives are created equal.

yeah if not resolved then reset

what home screen are you using? I have no problem reordering them using buzztv 6

Emporium, so sorry for posting in the wrong place. I tried your suggestions and they didn't work. But I did fix the issue! I went in the settings, view all apps, found the YouTube app, and selected "Uninstall updates" which reverted it to the original version. That worked. I can control the volume again! So there's some issue with the updates for the app.

I only have had one box at a time with power hooked up about 5-6 years ago I didn't and had to do a reset on the box I wasn't using because it was taking commands from the remote at neighbourhood bar they have 4 boxes hooked up and have 3 of them covered with a cardboard shell so IR won't work on those 3

Lol.. Chances are very slim that this would work... I've tried a few of these creative versions and without any active conversions, good luck. But something like this one seems to be the correct order of rings.. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07C13SWML Or one of these HDMI to composite https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09KZBWRL4

I had power station 6 for almost a year. When I turn on my box it doesn't go straight to the live channel a black screen with a white dot. Also they need to put group channel number .

Thanks, Its nice to have the 3.5millimetre jack on the buzz tv box, but it's also nicer when you know the correct pinouts. unfortunately B01LAIUWJY does not come up on AmzCA so I will go to the dollar store and bring my multi metre and check the continuity of the cables they sell and make sure its the correct pinouts
