I hope it works out well for you. But always keep in mind that the routers that are often provided by ISP are NOT the best quality. They do the job for basic use, but in some cases ,they can be inadequate for certain scenarios. There is a reason why many home routers like some of the ASUS ones, can easily cost $250+ alone. They do provide a completely different level of networking. IF wired is an option, that is always the best option for any media box. If Rogers is running a new cable into the house, sometimes that is the opportunity to relocate the modem/router to a location closer to the TV, which would allow a wired connection Not saying it will always fix the situation, since some of the included routers can get overwhelmed even with simplest tasks, but it is definitely better than any wifi connection.

One channel alone is probably a problem with your providers source. Probably not the box. Even on my provider, sometimes the french channels like LCN and TVA go out of sync, and I know it is not the box, because if I go onto the TVA website, even the online stream on their web site is out of sync at the same time I happens. You can try sending a message to your provider and see if they can "reset" the channel, but if the issue is at source, there is not much they can do, unless they have another source to switch to.

And is it ALL channels, or just some specific channels ? Are you sure it is not the providers stream the issue ?

I think that is the one that Buzz tests with.. I think nbs's comment about ss770 was a typo.. Probably an SN770 which is very popular.

**NEW** Buzz 6 App Update - V1.0.17 - Aug 20th, 2024
Emporium replied to allaboutbuzz's topic in PowerStation
Posting your wish in one thread is MORE than enough. Don't need to post it more than once. -
First of all, this is NOT the same thing. Gilles is talking about resetting the account from his provider. Gary you see to be saying that you need to try 3 or 4 times to connect before connecting. This is not te same type of issue. Are you guys using wifi, or wired ? Are you sure the box is actually connected to the internet when you try to connect (mostly for Gary) ? I've had friends who used to complain that they needed to try to connect 2 or 3 times before connecting, and they were using Wi-Fi. Turned out the crappy router provided to them by their Internet provider was the source of the lagging connections. Adding a ASUS decent router instead of using the provided junk from the internet providers, and problem went away. A wired connection is always preferred, to avoid these kind of issues. ALSO, if you are putting your box into "suspend" mode using the power key, then you should probably change the power key definition to shutdown. Sure it takes an extra minute to boot, but you have a clean boot every single time. Suspend over time can cause issues on any machine. Even windows machine go wonky after a while if you don't do a proper reboot. Just save yourselves the headache and change the powerkey definition to shutdown, and most random problems go away. Also, what do you mean my asking provider to reset if you are on XC type sub. There is no reset for XC logins on the subscription panel. Reset is only for MAC servers. I have no clue what your provider is doing for a |reset" no an XC server. Something does not make sense. I have the same XC server on nearly 10 different boxes with same user/pass and I switch between them with no issues and never needing to reset an account.

BuzzTV6 Application: Wishlist for New Features and Enhancements
Emporium replied to Stugots's topic in PowerStation
That is identical to mine. Only difference, mine has a little bit of "release notes" history on the left, since mine was updated to that. In your case, you did a reset, so some of that was already there. -
BuzzTV6 Application: Wishlist for New Features and Enhancements
Emporium replied to Stugots's topic in PowerStation
OK.. Because the picture you posted on your FIRST posting, was NOT on buzztv 6 home screen. You were on ""BuzzTV Media Player 2" home screen theme. BTW: Does hitting the "GUIDE" button on your remote, take you to the EPG guide ? Assuming you have a server even defined. If you get a server screen, then buzztv 6 is still not configured. The server screen for Buzztv 6 is separate from the server screen of buzztv 5. -
BuzzTV6 Application: Wishlist for New Features and Enhancements
Emporium replied to Stugots's topic in PowerStation
So CHANGE your home screen to BuzzTV 6... Not modern or anything else. Then launch LiveTV app.. And from the LiveTV app, press "menu" and see on bottom left, what is written for version. If you are at 1.0.16 or 1.0.17 then the message is correct.. -
BuzzTV6 Application: Wishlist for New Features and Enhancements
Emporium replied to Stugots's topic in PowerStation
And this is NORMAL. "V20240816" is the latest "firmware". 5.0.915 is the version of BuzzTV 5 installed. And that is fine, since BOTH buzztv5 and Buztv6 "software" are installed. For Home screen, you seem to have changed to the "BuzzTV Media Player 2" Home screen. To Launch BuzzTV 6 on that one (assuming you have not created a shortcut), you will need to select "ALL APPS" and you will see BuzzTV 6 on the second row, right next to BuzzTV 5. But BuzzTV 6 is a little different, when you select it, it will take you to the BuzzTV 6 home screen. Do youself a favor and just switch to the Buzztv 6 home screen to BuzzTV 6. So in summary.. V20240816 (as of today) is the latest firmware for the P6. BOTH buzzTV 5 and 6 software are installed on the P6. As of today. BuzzTV 5 version is 5.0.915 that is installed on this box. BuzzTV 6 version can vary (not going to go into details), either 1.0.16 or 1.0.17. To get updates to BuzzTV 6 (just like BuzzTV 5) software, you can go into menu->settings and select "check update". You can see the version that is installed on your device, when you hit the menu button, on the bottom left. If you see 1.0.xx then you are in buzztv 6, if you see 5.0.xxx you are in buzztv 5. -
WHY post in 2 threads for the same "wish" ?

**NEW** Official P6 Firmware + Buzz 6 App Update - Aug 19th, 2024
Emporium replied to allaboutbuzz's topic in PowerStation
Did you try creating a NEW XC server entry ? Just to make sure it did not get corrupted somehow ? -
For VOD screen empty, just as a test, try creating a new server entry (all it "backup" or whatever), and see if using a new entry works better. I have no issue with it, tested it a few times, and even started a few movies, just in case.

Emporium replied to allaboutbuzz's topic in PowerStation
Did you try creating a NEW server entry (just in case it is corrupted) ? And are you sure that the issue is not the providers EPG ? Maybe what you had before was cached, and now it loaded garbage. If they have an app, try using thier app. If you have XC account, try installing and using Smarters... IF you are using MAC, try STBEmu. If you have another box, try clearing EPG and see if it reloads correctly. -
I know I posted it somewhere else, but I'll post it here to consolidate the bugs. --ADULT CHANNEL PIN If you go to the adult channel section and select a channel, it will prompt for the "pin". However if you go through "ALL Channels" category instead, and then select an adult channel, it bypasses the PIN request. This was an issues ages ago on BuzzTV 5, but was corrected. Guess similar fix needs to be added to buzztv 6 eventually. -- APPS tab refresh after installing a new app Also I noticed that if you go to "apps" tab, bring up some file explorer (I use solid explorer) then install some app, and exit from file explorer, the app screen is not refreshed to show the newly installed app. You need to switch from the app tab and come back, for it to refresh and include the newly installed app.

The option to adjust picture settings was posted in the "BuzzTV6 Application: Wishlist for New Features and Enhancements" thread. Also, keep in mind that this is a BuzzTV forum. There is no specific support for 3rd party apps. If the issue appears using the BuzzTV apps (LiveTV, VOD, TV Series), then that is a different story and will be eventually addressed. But something that is 3rd party app specific is not.

**NEW** Official P6 Firmware + Buzz 6 App Update - Aug 19th, 2024
Emporium replied to allaboutbuzz's topic in PowerStation
It's all encrypted to protect you On a serious note, FIRST: From LiveTV Try hitting the menu->settings-configuration and then under Guide/EPG, select the "Clear EPG" option. SECOND, if it does not work, from home screen, go into settings->apps, and for Buzztv 6 try first clear cache and see if that help. THIRD, if it does not work, you'll probably need to go into settings->apps snd do a "clear data" and then recreate the entry. -
Should probably PM allaboutbuzz with your provider info (please do not post providers openly). Works fine with w****. Just started 2 different movies, no issues.
-
I'll start with the easy one. "Is there a way to get powerstation to start in Buzz 5, or must I select the app each time? " I just went into Buzztv 5, went into menu->settings->configuration, and turned on the "Start liveTV at boot" . Then exited BuzzTV 5, pulled the power on my box and then put it back. Glad to report, that it boots up, and then seconds later it launches BuzzTV 5. For the rest, I guess you can test it But the latest update going out today does fix quite a few of the issues with BuzzTV 6. Don't get me wrong, it still has a few issues to be cleaned up, but overall, it can be used for daily watching now (many of the freezing and stream issues have been addressed)..
-
When there is, it will be posted It all depends on how many issues they fix to warrant an update.

I just download the files onto my PC and copy them to a USB stick to install. A lot easier. Or I often put them on my NAS and use a software like Solid Explorer (Similar to ES File explorer that is preinstalled, but I have I prefer solid explorer) to browse my NAS share and install from there. I rarely use my google accounts on any of my boxes. I install everything offline. Just easier to have all the APK on a single stick, so if I need to do a reset on the box, all the installers are on a single stick and can install them all in minutes.

This version, seems to install and launch just fine. I don't have an account, so I did not try to log in, but it does install and launches without any errors https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/anker/eufy-security/eufy-security-v4-8-7_2132-release/eufy-security-v4-8-7_2132-android-apk-download/

Glad it works. But surprised that is not the first thing your provider did when you complained it was not working. That is the first thing I do with anyone on MAC sub and complaining it does not work.
-
Have you tried getting it from Aptoide ? Or downloading the APK and and trying that through app installer ? https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/anker/eufy-security/eufy-security-v4-8-8_3154-release/eufy-security-v4-8-8_3154-android-apk-download/
