You mention G-Series box and your title says Buzztv mobile app. The app that will be for the G-Series box is NOT the mobile app. The Mobile app is exactly that, for Mobile devices only. It is not meant for use on the GSeries box. And it is the first release, so it will surely have issues. It was just released for early evaluation. I just checked and I can assume you the version on the G-Series box DOES allow you to edit the MAC address, and even the DEVICEID 1 and 2 fields. I am not 100% sure if the version is yet available to the general public, but if it is not I am sure it will be shortly. There is a section dedicated for the Mobile app specifically, and it will soon be open for feedback on the mobile app. https://stbtalk.com/forum/127-buzztv-mobile-apps/

I'll let other make that recommendation. For now I have switched to an old Sharp Aquos I had, since I am waiting to redo my basement this summer before picking up something new.

On my LG, that was the only way. It is far from ideal, but if the total luminosity of a scene drops below a certain point many LG will dim the backlight to get a "true" black. I found it REALLY annoying, and I lived with it for far too long. I even contacted them asking if there was a way to get a firmware update which would allow to disable that dumb feature, and I was told I was out of luck. I have temporarily switched to an old Sharp Aquos and do not experience that issue. So unfortunately it is a trial an error. See if there is any options maybe on your TV (since it is newer than what I had), to disable this dynamic behavior. Often features like "Energy Saving" or "Dynamic contrasts" or some other auto features under HDR settings need to be disabled/enabled. It is all about trial an error and see what you prefer.

This sounds like an LG problem honestly. I used to have an older LG and this is one of the reasons I got rid of it. In LG's effort to give you deeper blacks, when the total luminosity of the scene is below a certain level, it would decrease the backlighting to the point that it was too dark. It was very apparent when credits would go by at the end of a movie. Few credits, it was super black and could barely see the credits. A few more credits on the same screen and then it would be more of a charcoal black, but the white was more vivid. This was irrelevant on whether I was using a buzz box, my Mii box or even the integrated tuner using an OTA antenna. The only way to overcome it in my situation was to put the TV in store DEMO mode which was really annoying and far from ideal. I was glad when it failed, and did not feal bad replacing it. Have you tried adjusting the setting and playing around with the contrast/brightness/saturation settings on the Powerstation ? Maybe you can bring it up just enough to avoid the TV from trying to darken it more. Settings->Device Preferences->Display and Sound->Advanced Display settings->HDMI->Color Settings.

If you reset your remote, and have Max volume set to off, then pressing the volume keys on the remote should show an OSD with volume level. So you can then control the volume to anything between 0 to 100. 100% being same as max volume on.

I assume this only pops up when you use automatic ? I don't think this is show when you use "never". This is probably because the audio stream is not being processed by the box (format it does not decode), but being "passthru" to whatever receiver/processor you have to decode and therefore it does not have the ability to change the volume on it, you would need to control the receiver/processing device for that. Most who use receivers to process their audio will typically set max volume setting to true on the buzz box, and then control the volume of the TV/Receiver/soundbar", not the variable output possible from the box.

I said firmware, but it could just be an app update (which is typically more frequent). On the Powerstation it was fixed in Version 189 of the BuzzTV 6 software from August 2025. "Fixed App Reorder Feature on Home Screen"

This is a very similar bug to when the Powerstation was released. Will certainly be fixed with an upcoming firmware update. It's a brand new box, so some little irritants are normal as people will start putting it through the tests. Buzz typically sends out quite a few updates at the beginning to try to address them quickly. Pointing them out, always helps put them in the dev's bug report/list.

Best place for BuzzTV 6 feature and enhancement requests, would be this dedicated thread: https://stbtalk.com/topic/14151-buzztv6-application-wishlist-for-new-features-and-enhancements/

Dev support on weekends.. Now that is dedication. Typical of Buzz They always stand behind their products.

Actually the box YOU received was customized just for you. As soon as you plugged it in, it detected your hardware configuration, sent the configuration back to the mother ship, and it then proceeded to adapting the last remote firmware you got, to ensuring you would be frustrated.

For URL you used: https://SERVERNAME.best (not the whole thing with the api stuff). Then entered USERNAME and PASSWORD in the user/pass fields ? I have tried many servers, but have never seen one that offers "ONLY" M3U list. Obviously it has something to do with the encoding of the streams themselves, and the player used on Buzztv 6/Powerstation does not seem to like it. If your reseller says it should work with Tivimate, then he obviously should give you more instructions on how to set it up. Tivimate would work the same on the Powerstation, as it would with any other Android box.

Something is obviously not correct. Youtube is typically installed automatically upon first power up. And even updated upon the first firmware update the box will take. I strongly recommend you do a full hard factory reset on the box before trying to configure it further. Not sure what state that box was in from the seller you ordered it from. The procedure is same as in the video below (even though video is for a an older model).

Hardwired or WiFi ? If it is WiFi, it could be a compatibility issue with your router. I have a B5 and setup 2 others for a friend, and no issues. Is it just your IPTV ? Does Youtube work ?

The box itself is capable of 4K. I can't comment about anything other than plain stereo (since that is all I use with it), but I would be surprised it doesn't support some of the basic 5.1 surround via passthrough. However there are NOT many services out there that provide 4K streams. Many claim they do, but many are also "fake 4K". 4K, which has actually been upscaled, or bitrate incredible reduced that 1080p actually looks better. Many services may have a 4K "category" with a few 4K channels but rarely a huge selection. Not saying they don't exist, but most are not. I'd rather see a real 1080p stream with proper bitrate to avoid artifacts, than a crappy 4K with reduced bitrate that just makes me nauseous Keep in mind that the L1 is the buzz entry level box. There are no frills. Basic IR remote, Linux OS (so no app store or sideloading of other apps), with basic Dual band WiFi and only 10/100 ethernet (no gigabit). Nice box for basic IPTV use, and quite cheaply priced in consequence. But if you are looking for more advanced features, you may want to look for the higher level boxes, like the BuzzTV Classic series. And the recently releases G-Series google certified boxes.
