You're looking for a Universal Remote The brand All in One makes these, they pretty much cover every brand ever sold Just comes with a list of TV codes and instructions on how to program the remote to start working with your TV I have gotten them and set them up before for my parents Emporium is correct, our Buzz remotes require the original remote to learn the 4 buttons from

Was fixed on E5s and X5s this week via FW update Will be rolled out to the rest of our Android 11 models next week, including the Classic and Classic Anniv

Hello again... Just got an update/answer from cs@buzztv to share here is their answer, "Hello yes we have to stop this update from going out for now as there was some issues so no need to worry we will be sending out the other version soon" I hope it is helpful and thanks again for the help.

Email buzz with your device id and explain the issue

Just be a little more patient They are busy

First of all, this has nothing to do with BuzzTV 6. BuzzTV 6 is the software which is installed on the Powerstation devices and the L1. Is there any question about a BuzzTV box in there ? This is a BuzzTV hardware/software support forum not a TV support forum. If you have a specific box, post under that specific hardware section. For TVs, I don't see the age of a TV being an issue. I am running one of my BuzzTV boxes on an archaic Audiovox TV, and I'm even using the A/V port to connect, since the TV does not even have an HDMI port. If you are having volume inconsistencies of volume/sound between channels, then the problem sounds more like an issue with your iptv service provider (and we don't discuss services here), try using a different service and see if it is just as bad.

Google has made changes There will be a fix soon Its not just buzz affected

More geared towards sports? Unlikely

full backup stopped when the 4900 was released

Other way around Resolved with 954

thats server issue. contact your service provider.

They have just done updates on some models to fix youtube The classic fix will come. Be patient

your service probably changed sources and they use different codecs

after update I notice apps navigation much faster than before. so far so good. thanks

Same here on my latest purchase of buzz boxes (classic anniversary edition) Youtube is not supported on this device. Had a friend with a E5 same thing, had to install a different YouTube app from the App Store in order to use YouTube.

All these AI things are the first things that I disable on all my phones, tablet and media boxes. I hate them. But maybe that's just me. Everyone has different opinions. I don't need to tell alexa to turn on my lights, I walk over and flip the switch (most of us need the exercise anyhow). Don't need to tell google to turn on my TV, I just grab the remote and turn it on. I get annoyed even on ma new media box when I go to search and it tries to enable the voice remote to speak into it. I keep hitting deny and can't wait to see "deny all the time" because it is just annoying. If anyone ever decided to add such a feature, they better offer an option to turn it off completely.

I don't think there has been any hard limit since BuzzTV 4. On BuzzTV 2, sure, I think you had 10 MAC/XC slots, and an addition 2 or 3 for M3U at the bottom. But that all changed with BuzzTV 4 and has been pretty much the same since then.

You will not see backups for 3rd party apps. That is the responsibility of the 3rd party apps themselves to allow you to export their settings for future import. Buzz already has a backup feature for their BuzzTV app itself, which includes server settings, app settings, favorites, etc... Even on an android phone, it is the app's responsibility to backup it's settings to the cloud. Sure the phone backup remembers what apps were installed and will reinstall upon reset, but unless the app saved it's settings in the cloud somehow, you will have to reconfigure it after it is reinstalled. Hell I remember when google authenticator did not even backup it's entries (or allow you to export) and I lost everything after a reset. That was a pain. I switch to MS authenticator after that, and shortly after, google added cloud sync for their authenticator, but I never bothered going back. Installing the "basic" apps is not a huge effort (I personally keep all the apk for all the apps I use on a share on my NAS (and on a USB stick), and it takes no time to install them if I need to do a reset. Now, if you have something like kodi or streamio installed with piles of plugins, scripts and custom settings, then that is all on those apps to offer a simple way to take a snapshot of the config for easy restore. Buzz boxes are not rooted or bootloader unlocked, so bootloader type backups are probably never going to be an option. Actually Buzz did have a full flash backup ages ago (I think on the old 3000 series), but that turned out to be a nightmare for most average users so it was replaced with the app backup going forward, which seems to suit "most" users just fine.

Different box but same procedure

That looks/sounds like an AI generated response adapted from some other firmware update procedure. I don't know about you, but did you try going to the downloads page ? There is nothing to download there, other than the buzztv logo. I tried with 3 different browsers.

Have you tried a hard reset ? Procedure is the same as other boxes. https://stbtalk.com/topic/14739-new-official-x5-firmware-dec-3rd-2025/#findComment-40394 An no, if you have not backed it all up before it hanging, you are out of luck.

that's why I always make a backup anytime I make changes

wipe data and reset

my U5 and classic just took the update and so far so good.

don't be afraid

I doubt it

under the box you see Mac and s/n so you can provide either one and here's the email cs@buzztv.com

No it does not

there was no update today

The place to ask is at the store

no

@cyrowth Set the P6 up direct to your tv during setup. Then reconnect it the way you want it. After setup, I connected my P6 to my Trinnov via hdmi and it performed flawlessly.

I was going to ask him to do that, but figured I wanted to see if it is a problem out of the box, so at least I can let aab know to basically adjust updates accordingly to avoid useless calls from new box owners. You have 5.30.304 on an orginal classic or classic anniversary edition ? Just curious. I was going to get him to factory reset, just to see if it is a "new box" problem. And then if it still didn't work, it would have been a aptoide update I was going to get him to do. He can follow instruction pretty well, but is not very tech savvy with these boxes and he recently retired, and moved from Montreal, to clear across the country to Vancouver, on the island, so I can't just drop by and try a few things like I used to Thanks

on my regular classic I have latest version. then I uninstalled YouTube update and YouTube showed same version as yours. I tried to launch and it was keep crashing. then after reboot same version as yours started to work without any issue. then I went to aptoide and updated again and still working fine. try to clear data on YouTube then update from aptoide.

no one invited them

So we create a new thread for a wishlist, because the first STICKY in the Powerstation category is not self explanatory ?

We've really come a long way lol

try to do pin hole reset

my son says his worx he's going to tell me which version he has when he gets home from work

It's on our roadmap already

where are you inviting them to?

How a device recovers from a standby will vary from one chipset to the other. Because of that I never even bother with standby. Just way too annoying with many devices (not just buzz). Hell, even laptops crap out their wifi connections after standby or hibernates. 90% of my devices are now hardwired (does not make them immune to network issues - but it is better). But the one thing I decided many years ago, is that media boxes are just not worth putting in standby mode. Take all of 45 seconds to boot them clean from scratch, and when it is a clean boot, they typically always initialize properly. Instantaneous gratification of the box turning on instantly, just to find out some hardware stayed asleep, is just not worth it. Why not change the powerkey definition from standby to shutdown (which in my opinion should be the default) and save yourself all the headaches for now. If it can be fixed, I am sure Buzz will eventually look at it. If you want to debug/test it any further, then obviously a pin hole hardware type factory reset should be the first thing to do to ensure there is nothing latched somewhere during some previous update.

Picture in Picture support

Are you guys saying in the future on Buzz 6 you would be able to put all your servers favorite channels in your favorite folder and it would automatically switch from one server to another server to connect to the channel you selected, like the other popular player out there right now (ti*ima*e)?? If so once this is perfected I know for one I will be buying 2 of the PowerStation's!!
