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.

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?

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.

Radio? Firmware updates are sent ota and you can check from home page Buzz software is done from the menu button

Can you give us a summary ? For the benefit of anyone else who may eventually have an issue similar to what you described

clear cache and see if that helps

I had the same issue with both servers. One is Mac and one is XC. I will try the setting suggestion and see. Thank you!

I have always formatted it on a Windows PC as exFAT. But I do believe formatting on the box would also be exFAT in the latest version of Android on buzz boxes. But you if you format on box, make sure to format as "portable storage" not "internal storage". Internal Storage (aka adopted storage) was a nice concept ages ago, but when it fails, it pretty much forces you to reformat the media box, instead or just losing your recordings. Also, while you have it on the PC, check on the WD web site to see if they have (or need) any firmware updates. It's obviously easier to do on a PC, instead of once it is installed on an android box.

Can you post a pic of your screen?

Since this roll out I have lost th ability for my EPG, any reason why?
