You were told how to get iptv version It's not 11

Clarify your statement  "iptv does not work"

The service has to have it for your buzz to use that feature

What i mean is i followed the instructions to the letter. No i have not tested the hard drive on a PC. It works perfectly at times and then there is a rash of random failures. I do occasionally check to make sure the SSD has not ejected. The "media format is not supported" error is most prevalent. I have no idea what it means. I am a 65 yr old barely computer literate neophyte. Honestly i don't know to test the SSD on a PC. Do i need to connect the U5 to my PC? How do i proceed to check it.

Answer the questions in the last paragraph.

Nope no luck on the U5, I give up.

Complain to peacock 

different android versions

Have you rebooted your modem?

You should be able to use the same service you were using on your firestick 

Guides here  https://www.youtube.com/c/BuzzTVGlobal/videos

You are not restricted to a mac server You can also use xc api or m3u

There is no discussion of services here  

You can try satfix.to for that kind of info

there are times that I have freezing which makes the programs unwatchable.

Usually a server issue not a box issue

I have been told by the support staff of one of the servers I have that I am having freezing and lack of programs playing because my ISP (Bell) is blocking my feed.

They have recommended a VPN to deal with the issue. 

I have read that VPN's have a tendency  to slow down internet speed and can cause latency issues.

Any thoughts would be welcome.

I have no issues using a vpn

A couple of the other guys know m3u You'll have to wait for their input as I don't use it

Why are you using stalker instead of buzz 5 app?

Home ,settings ,apps,see all apps

Click on app

Yes that's it

Thanks @nbs.
I understand that I need to email buzz. How can I do that? What is the email address and what are the details I need to send?

Cs at buzztv.com  They need your device id

Did you try 2015?

I bought a XRS4500 last year and am still on Buzz TV 4. I don't have any available update in the updates section and it says the beta is not available either.

My current specs are:
Firmware - V20211108
IPTV Version: 4.0.530

How can I get Buzz TV 4 update?

check updates  and when it says no update available    type in 2015 on your remote a couple of times

If your mac is on the list it will update If not email buzz and ask them to add your mac

 the firmware is different than your other two as well as android version That is the reason they don't affect your other boxes
