buzztv 5 is not a box post in the section for your model

have you tried wipe cache partition first before factory reset?

Ok thanks Ryu I will have a great day

I would say contact buzz support team and you may have to send them to take a look.

Unfortunately I think buzz would have to reflash it if they coild

Hi Ryu thanks for your reply. No I didn't and will check that tomorrow watching hockey game.

Sad to say that I was unable to find a solution. I have disabled HDMI-CEC and use the BT-500 TV and STB power buttons to separately power the TV and PS6 on/off. I either use my Yamaha remote or my feet (walk over to my Yamaha Receiver) to control my receiver. A very unsatisfactory situation given that my Firestick remote controlled everything perfectly for 10% of the price of a PS6! That said, I really like my PS6s (I have three), they work perfectly on my other two TVs that just have sound bars attached rather than the whole home theatre set-up. I also really like my Yamaha receiver and can't justify replacing it in the hope a new receiver will play nice with my PS6. Because the current situation works but is less than satisfactory, eventually I will either replace the Yamaha, a PS6 update will fix the problem or someone else will figure out a solution. I should add that Yamaha Canada support was incredibly responsive and helpful but hold the position that their device is working as it should, as proven by how it works so well with other devices, e.g. the Firestick and all other devices in my home theatre.

I am away from home right now, but there is typically an option in the settings, which is essentially "Force MAX Volume". Find it in the settings, or buzz utilities and disable it. Then the box will output variable volume and allow to be controlled by the remote.

That may be a better solution. My Onn 4k Plus does only go into Standby mode and the receiver successfully detects it coming out of standby. So, no reason your suggestion couldn't work as well as shutdown.

Upgraded from an older Samsung led tv to a new 83" LG C5, new 2.1 certified HDMI cables new LG S90TY Soundbar all new correct length network cables etc. For some reason when watching any content on the PS 6 after sometime 20 mins or so the LG screen goes blank and shortly indicates no signal, if I hit the middle round button on the BT 500 remote it comes back on and continues playing just fine. I have all power saving functions turned off on the TV and PS6. This is really frustrating knowing I could have bought a much cheaper Android based hardware box for how it performs and now this which is making the device unusable in my opinion. Hooked my old Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 up and no issues at all. Any thoughts?

know you said new HDMI but like Maestro said try another Could be a bad one But if it is still doing it I would save all you settings and servers and do a factory reset as it may have something corruped in it

Most google boxes I know do NOT have a power off function. Most is just automatic standby. But the issue you were having is probably just some HDMI signal than needs to go low to allow your TV to detect that the device is not fully powered. Not sure what control Buzz would have over the individual HDMI signals. Instead of requesting a full power off option, I think what is needed, is more of a way to force the HDMI to go into a lower disconnect state so external devices can detect a true "no signal" when it is in sleep mode.

nbs, thanks for your help. My wife is going to be the primary user and is unwilling/unable to deal with the complications the PS6 presents compared to other boxes. Unfortunately, I packed it up and returned it yesterday. I'll wait and see the details of the new G-Series box. If it doesn't have a Power Option, I'll probably just get a Ugoos AM9 Pro. I'll continue using my X5 until then. Thanks again to everyone who advised me along the way. I think my setup may be a special case.

no shutdown yet

do you have E5?

I tried last night using an Anker Soundcore BT speaker, another cheap chinese no name brand one, and my Poly Voyager 2 headsets, and with all 3 the result was the same. When using BuzzTV 6, things were all slightly out of sync. Watching same programs/streams On BuzzTV 5 (on the P6), everything was perfectly in sync. Also Tested on some VOD, and using the internal player of BuzzTV 6, movies were slightly out of sync also, but using external player (I used MX Player), everything was in sync. I will try to test a few more BT devices on the weekend.

The Lon.TV YouTuber just posted a highly critical review of the P6 (the low-end version, not the Unlimited). Aside from perseverating on the lack of support for certain audio and video codecs (features that are lost on me), ignoring the Power Station’s purposeful design as an IPTV player, as well as overlooking the plethora of admonitions about using Netflix, Disney+ and Plex on the Power Station, he does make a potentially useful observation that the last security update for the Power Station (according to him) was in August 2023. Is this correct, and if so, does Buzz TV plan on improving the frequency of the security updates for the Power Station? On a related subject, the YouTuber Triple M recently posted a review of the Power Station that was taken down by YouTube. Does anybody have any information about the content of this review?

Hi Joe, thanks for posting this and keeping it constructive. On the security patch date, yes, the P6 is currently on an older Android security patch level. That’s a valid callout and we agree it should be more current. I’ve already flagged this internally and we’re pushing to improve the security patch cadence on P6 going forward. On Netflix, Disney and home theater style Plex use, it comes down to certification and licensing. P6 is Android 13 AOSP, not Google TV certified Android TV. The TV versions of apps like Netflix and Disney require certification and DRM compliance to run properly and to support features like 4K, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Also worth noting, Google does not certify every chipset. As powerful as RK3588 is, it cannot be Google TV certified, which is why P6 remains an AOSP performance and IPTV focused device. On the Triple M video being taken down, we don’t have any official information from YouTube or the creator, so I don’t want to speculate. Appreciate you bringing it up. Cheers

P6 runs on Android 13, which is actually one of the few mainstream media boxes that has such a later version of Android. And DU mentioned above, security updates end in 2026. One of the other big media box manufacturers released their "latest box" last fall (Sep 2025), and they released it with Android 12, which google discontinued security updates on Android 12 since March 2025. There are a few generic boxes which advertise Android 14, but but they are generic boxes which you can't compare, since most don't even get any updates after delivery. Most people do not use these boxes for very sensitive tasks. No banking, or browsing the IRS/CRA or other sites which they would be afraid of being compromised. They are primarily for consuming media, and typically behind a router using NAT anyhow, so rarely facing the outside world. So unless you sideload some sketchy app or addon for some package, there is very little risk of anything. And if you suspect something, a simple reset, will clear it to factory settings, if you were smart enough to take a backup of your servers/favorites,etc.. you can restore your backup and be back up in less than 10 minutes. So there is really nothing wrong for these purpose built devices to run older versions of Android (Andoid 9 and 11 are also very popular for media boxes). And unless you have a "certified" box for netflix, disney, etc. you will always have to jump through hoops unless you sideload custom mods. And you say "plex" ? What is wrong with plex. Not a huge fan of it, but it works. I have Plex server running on one of my synology, and plex client on most of my buzz boxes and it works. It all comes down to what you want to do with the box. But as a media player there is no super critical need to have latest security fixes. How many new Android TVs out there are still being sold with Android 13 or lower ? You'd be surprised.

security updates ends this year
