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?

Emporium made me aware of some VPN bugs, like the ones mentioned above

They will be fixed in our next update.

So checking update manually has a bug on install

So basically need to wait for the update to appear on the Home Screen until we fix it on our next update
Or wait 1-2 hours after box boots up to check manually

We are actually working to separate the App and OS updates
Since App Updates are sent more often

This won't require the box to reboot to install, just the app to reboot while the box stays on

We should be done this soon

Yeah, that's true. I know about those How-To videos and they're certainly valuable for sure. I'm happy to have some of them on my Buzz box too. I guess aside from those specifically tailored videos it's pretty easy to figure out most of everything else. I just thought it would be pretty great if there was a pdf with a list showing different categories and you can look up what you need to do when you need help. No biggie.

But WOW, I just discovered something. What I was trying to figure out is how to organize my favorites after pressing the blue button to do so. It seemed so archaic and weird to figure out. My box was just updated yesterday and since then I went in just now to try this again, and I realized it's totally different and WAY easier to figure out now. I'm so impressed with the update which makes this SO much simpler. A big thank you to allaboutbuzz and anyone else involved with this!!

We will be putting out more videos next week on How to Organize Favs + Categories and our new Themes Feature

Thanks for the comments.

Not using the correct power supply is your issue

The tech support agent handling your ticket has 25 years experience with Power Supplies, Voltage etc
If you use a higher Voltage PS it can create load, which therefore reboots the box.  It only takes 5% of load to create issues like this. We provide the correct power supplies with all of our boxes for this exact reason as they're fully tested and UL + FCC Certified.

And why would we send you a new power supply? Unless there is something I am missing from all of this.

Yes from the Buzz home screen.  I know a few other people who haven't seen the update either.

It was a mistake on our side

The Latest OTA should be available for all P6L within 20-30 minutes

Sorry about that
