Hello BuzzTV Support,

I own a BuzzTV Powerstation 6 and I am experiencing an issue with audio passthrough.
Whenever I use Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital+, Dolby TrueHD, or Dolby Atmos passthrough, the sound briefly cuts out whenever I press any button on the remote (for example, when showing “Info” about the current video, adjusting volume, or opening any on-screen display).

I would like to use my AVR (Denon/Marantz) to decode the audio formats directly, but these constant dropouts make Atmos and other passthrough formats unusable.

Could you please advise if this is:

a known firmware issue,

a setting I may have overlooked (RAW vs IEC passthrough, audio mixing, etc.),

or if there is an upcoming update that will fix this?

Thank you for your support.
 

Are you using the HDMI ARC port to the box?

And what version of HDMI is your receiver?

If you do not have HDMI 2.1 on receiver 4k and Atmos will exceed bandwidth basically.

THAT SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!!!

As soon as that is perfected I will be ordering 2 of the PowerStation's, since they are, as far as I know the only box that operate with the BuzzTV 6. 

As Dishusers post above yours stated already 

It pretty much already is

We spent a long time building this and internally testing before pre release on Beta

Beta will just allow us to point out any small bugs we missed.

Are you guys saying in the future on Buzz 6 you would be able to put all your servers  favorite channels in your favorite folder and it would automatically switch from one server to another server to connect to the channel you selected, like the other popular player out there right now (ti*ima*e)??

If so once this is perfected I know for one I will be buying 2 of the PowerStation's!!

Yes that is true

Hi Everyone,

Since the last update, all servers stay connected. I need to press the yellow button to disconnect. Is there a way to disconnect from one to go onto the next without needing the yellow button?

Thanks

You must be on Beta

Its a new feature, Multi server connection

If you edit the server, you can turn off Auto Connect for the servers you dont want to be connected to all at the same time

Upgraded to the new firmware released and can't use disney+ now. Go to load it says it needs to update. Click on Update and only has option to open or cancel, and says it isn't compatible with my device. Pretty sure i used it after updating the firmware, but this happened last night when i went to load it. Tried clearing Cache on the app to no avail.

 

Firmware: V20250815 Firmware

Disney+ released an update 4th, 14th and 18th

We're currently running the 14th update version. We update Disney+ in the background via OTA. This doesn't require firmware updates, so that didn't cause it. Its just a coincidence 

I am not sure why Disney is so strict on having the latest updates just to use it. 

We will send the newest 18th version soon and it will update to all active boxes within 48-72 hours.

When he says "manual" update, it is from the Settings screen (from home screen), where it has the option to check for updates don the list.   Not using a file physically to update manually.

Manual Update fully works now if you're running this update
Previous FWs downloaded it in the background, so if it wasn't downloaded yet and you checked manually. It would say there is no update.

As we separated the FW + App Updates now for all future updates after the FW and App update below.
To make things easier. Dealers were complaining that you had to reboot the box for an App update.

I just tried that but to no avail. When I turn off the TV with the Buzz remote, the stb channel still gets changed to channel 8 (BBC 4).

I think it may be something Buzz needs to address in a future update. Until then I will have to leave my TV on all night.

We use the NEC Protocol for IR Codes, so do many other devices like LG
Sometimes they overlap between other devices
This isn't something we can fix unfortunately

Hi, you told me in private message to post my issue on the forum about the app I use for IPTV. The IPTV moded app I have keeps nagging me to update it. I did not download it from the Play Store or Aptoide. I have the XRS4500 box with version 5 firmware.

Ok Emporiums advice is good

And 4500 is Android 9, so we have no way to update Firmware for that model anymore.

Hi, I would like to know how to stop an IPTV moded app I installed keeps nagging me to update it and since it's moded why does it still do it? There should be a feature built in to the BuzzTV box to stop apps from updating. 

Which app are you referring to?

Are the updates from the Play Store or Aptoide or are they built directly into the app?

Trying to understand all of the details, so we can reproduce it

Also which model # do you have?

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question  . Please redirect me if need be . I've had the BUZZ 6 since launch  . Why do all the channels logos have a white background or missing all together other than the white background in the EPG ? 

When using the BUZZ 5 app or the two other players installed with the same playlist or very similar they are perfect (no white background or any missing) 

Thanks for any help. All updates have been installed since new .

From the Designer

We used the white BG cause some channel logos were png

So you couldn’t see them well
Esp blue and black logos 

because it blended into the background

So they all got a white BG 

To make it work with the most image types we will encounter

Hey guys I just installed the latest update and I thought everything was all right until I went to rearrange the icons for the apps on my home screen when I click on the app I want to move the usual pop up comes up and then when I press continue It doesn't let me move the app and the blue outline box isn't over the app anymore it disappears and when I try to scroll down and rearrange it again the blue outline box is red and my remote stops working until I restart the box but even after restarting the same issue repeats itself when trying to rearrange the icons

We will look into this and report back

Thanks to those who have offered ideas and I will try and order a new power supply from Buzz, thought maybe they would have sent one to try, tech support, really isn’t support (in my opinion) 

 

if this issue was only happening in one location it may have pointed to TV or something specific but Florida and Canada on several TV’s 

just because no one else are having this type of issue doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem. 
 

last communication from support says I can send the box to buzz, they will check it out and send it back. 
 

maybe that’s the way I’ll go. 
 

I did do a factory re set twice

Any update to this?
