From the Designer We used the white BG cause some channel logos were png So you couldn’t see them well Esp blue and black logos because it blended into the background So they all got a white BG To make it work with the most image types we will encounter

Answered in other post No need to double post

No need to choose tv vod or live It searches them all

The p6 only does a stanby so in order to have it automatically go to live tv u have to restart it and boit to live tv has to be enabled.. and for searching hit the search button.. it wikl pop up the search menu and u cand choose live tv tv series or vod to search

I thought so. I changed the cable to the one used in the AppleTV and the problem persists. Thanks

Can you feel the button being pressed?

Do you have a pile of 3rd party apps installed ? Have you done any recording on the onboard storage (check under PVR section) sometimes if you have the single button record option enabled and you accidently press the red button it records (my wife does that often) and you don't realize it. Basically you need to free up some storage on the box.

It doesnt appear to

try a different stream format

That depends on your provider . Usually requires a xc api connection.

ask rogers

I just remembered a couple of years ago my buddy had this problem and it was a bad hdmi cable

Thanks. I ordered it. It will take a while for me to get it but I’ll let you know when I do. Thanks!

Yes. It’s absolutely pressed

Hi, I would like to know how to stop an IPTV moded app I installed keeps nagging me to update it and since it's moded why does it still do it? There should be a feature built in to the BuzzTV box to stop apps from updating.

use the buzztv remote to contol the tv or turn on cec

they have that option

clear cache and try again

trust me I was being polite you call us haters because you post in the wrong section? grow up

You are funny. First of all, this has NOTHING to do with BuzzTV5. So you are in the wrong category. Secondly, you are so ignorant that you think that Buzz would help you (or anyone) circumvent another developers restrictions ? Buy the app (they are trying to make a living too), or use it as it was intended if there is a restricted free version. You don't like it, move on to something else. An app that does not go through the playstore and has access to the network (to play IPTV or anything else) will always be able to check for updates especially if the modder did not find and disable all the functions that do that. The OS has no way of knowing that the network access is for checking for updates. You are lucky it is not one of my apps that was modded. You don't even want to know what I did to systems when I detected a modded version of my app on them. Users become very familiar with factory resets pretty quick as their systems become slowly and surely more and more flaky

you're funny

You can't root our boxes

All firmware/software is typically downloaded by the OTA downloader of the box. It is NOT posted online for manual installation.

First of all, this is wrong category to post in. And the answer is, "you don't" .

I do have all those settings saved on backup for the Buzz app. But I use a a different program to watch my IPTV channels, with the one I use I can put all my servers in one favorite folder instead of changing servers to watch different channels. This is the one that will take me the most time to reset everything.

You were told to save server settings and buzz app settings

and it was fixed and it was fixed

If you are refering to the "Roger xfinity stream" app, then that was a choice from Rogers to NOT support any Android TV boxes. They seem to only support amazon firestick devices for TV, and rest is mobile only and web. Probably because their app is based on the comcast xfinity app, which made if very clear that AndroidTV boxes are not supported. Scroll down the page to the "Unsupported Devices" section and you will see that the first thing they list is Android TV. https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-tv-app-requirements And you will see it also says "Other devices not specifically mentioned", so they have decided to make it VERY restrictive. However, if you want, you can try downloading this app, and side loading it from a usb stick and file browser. http://aftv.news/5732122 This is a slightly modified version of the Amazon app, which was slightly modified to work on android boxes. I tested it and it installs perfectly fine on my X5. And it launches. But that is where my testing ends, because I do not have a Rogers account to go any further. This is not a Buzz issue, but rather a dumb choice from the provider to not support Android boxes.

you did not get recovery screen? if possible try a different power supply to see if that helps and if its still under warranty I would contact buzztv support.

I think your power supply may have failed. Try and get a new one, the unit is probably fine. Mark7

not sure if the power supply was disconnected and if yes make sure using original power supply. also, try a different outlet if possible. try to disconnect all external devices like usb, or external drives and swap hdmi cable. if still nothing then factory reset using AV hole with tooth pick.

The reason they're replying to you like that is because this forum is to help people with the boxes they provide and their own built in app this forum is not meant for discussions pertaining to 3rd party apps I know you were just looking for a solution to your problem but I'm sure you can see why people wouldn't take kindly to you mentioning a third party app It's the same response you would get if you went into a discord group or telegram group for a particular app and started mentioning other apps that serve the same purpose If you choose to download 3rd party apps it is not buzz tv's responsibility to help you you're on your own when it comes to stuff like that trust me I understand why you asked the question and I'm not trying to argue with you I'm just trying to give you more of an explanation as to why you got the responses that you did

Ok Emporiums advice is good And 4500 is Android 9, so we have no way to update Firmware for that model anymore.

If the IPTV modded app keeps nagging you to update, then the issue is with the modded app itself. It is not playstore or aptoide issue and not something that the buzz box can stop. If the app has access to the internet (obviously to stream) then it has access to it's own update servers to check if there is an update available. I also use many updated apps, and sometimes the modders miss certain functions and after some time, they trigger an update check. Some apps have a few different mods and some are better than others, and in some cases each has their own flaw. Wait for next version of modded app. There are other forums which discuss many modded apps, and often the modders themselves are replying to requests.

I'm a jerk for asking a simple question? The forums are to help people who ask for help but I only get narcissist too cool for school replies and i'm the jerk. Dude you guys are the one who's funny. Anyways the app I have installed is not under the category app permissions/notification access. You say it is there to stop app updates but I don't see a toggle to stop apps from updating like other Anroid boxes. My BuzzTV box has Version 5 firmware.

it is there in app permissions/notifications later jerk

Never put your personal details in public. First of all, we need MORE info. What box model number are you running. From the Update screen, what version of firmware and BuzzTV software are you running. Also,when you are trying to record, are you trying to record internally, or to a USB or other drive ? Is your service MAC, XC or M3U based ? Does it support more than 1 connection ? Keep in mind that when the box records, it is considered as a single stream, so if you are trying to schedule recordings, and your service ONLY supports a single stream, then you CAN NOT be watching another channel when the recording starts. To allow you to watch and record simultaneously, you would need an XC type sub which supports multiple simultaneous connections.

Thank you dishuser! I now have both of my BT200's setup for Blue Tooth to work with my (2) U5 boxes. Thanks again!!

ok and volume down

If under Setings->storage all you see is internal, I am very surprised that you can see anything under tivimate (have you actually tried to use it or is the device presence cached). Settings->storage is what the Android OS sees. If the OS can't see it,. apps won't see it. I'm assuming you tried unplugging the power and re-plugging back the devices to do a proper power cycle ? Last time that happened to me (on my old xrs4900 with an SSD), it turned out to be a defective drive. Keep in mind there is no ventilation in the drive compartment, so if you use a cheap drive that get's extremely hot, it can overheat.

Yes thanks Emporium I now have it all fixed, My backup copy of (tivi*) must have been corrupted for some reason. But since I have (2) of the U5's I was luckily enough to just make another (tivi*) backup from my second U5 and restore it on my first U5 and everything is working GREAT again. THIS SURE SAVE ME A LOT Of TIME and HASSEL! Thanks for all you help once again Emporium!!!

Don't know what app you are using (and we can't mention it since it is not a buzz app), but many of the 3rd party apps also have their own back/restore options to be able to save your playlists and settings. I am pretty sure at least one of the major 3rd party iptv apps (tivi*) does have a back/restore function also, which I am pretty sure it backs up your playlists and favorites. For other apps (since there are a few new decent ones also), I guess it is a feature that should be suggested to the devs.

in update screen

We will be putting out more videos next week on How to Organize Favs + Categories and our new Themes Feature Thanks for the comments.
