Thank you sir.

Will a 5v 3.0 amp power supply handle the U5 with an internal or external hard drive?

The U5, what are the USA power requirements for the U5 in regards to amperage? Does it require more for hard drive usage? Does it matter internal or external on amp ratings? I did find one post that stated that the U5 power supply is 12v 1.5amps, is that true? I lost my power supply in a move. Thank you.

I reset the U5, took a few times, switched TV providers, now everything appears to be working and stable. I believe much had to do with the TV provider, and issues with the U5. But, hopefully we are through this and everything is working, and will continue to work. Technology... Main issue was the provider, they went dark on me, on one server, but I had a full program guide, then the M3U server we had programming, but no guide... They are gone, new provider appears to be working quite well.

Everything is working now... Reset the U5, changed providers and now everything seems to be stable. Remote is now working, and can control the TV. What a headache.

Loaded up the update, lost remote control function, did a factory rest, remote now work. But, all I get now is the "Time Shift Error: Stream not available". It just flashes over and over. I have rest the server several times, double triple check EPG loads no issues, everything is there, now no stream at all, and it was working fine prior to doing the hard rest to fix the BT-400 issues. GRRRR! I tried YouTube, works fine. TX switched on, external hard drive attached and recognized. Now, black screen with time shift error flashing. Any suggestions? I have tried everything I can think of, including erasing Cache and resetting the PG numerous times, along with shutting the U5 down by pulling the plug. Even on the Home Screen, non stop flashing time shift error, stream no available, on the Home Screen? Go to EPG, VOD, nothing loads.

BT-400 remote no longer works via BT, I have to be within a few feet of the box to get it to work, roughly two to three feet. I reset the remote by pressing the "zero" and "down" button. I went to the Home Screen to pair, and discovered the buttons for both the Buzz remote pairing and the Buzz OTA no longer work. I click on them, the screen fades to blue, and right back to the Home Screen. When I went to settings, to the remote settings, I can no longer control back lighting, it is faded out. I cannot access any BT-400 remote settings. Then the freezing, now it is every half hour, I had it virtually eliminated prior to the upgrade. Looks like another hard reset is in my future. The juice is getting to the point it is no longer worth the squeeze.

Well, reset the remote, still need to be right up on the box to get it to work. Reset the remote, but discovered the second row access buttons no longer work on the home page for Buzz OTA or Buzz Remote. I click on them, the screen fades and goes right back to home page. Screen freezing every half hour now too... Very annoying.

Thank you.

No, no description, and I did check again. Hit the arrow to the left to see if there was a hidden menu too. Nothing.

My unit explains nothing, It has the Force USB TS button, below the TS button. Is there a secret hidden explanation menu I am missing? And I am not trying to be a smartass, I would like to know what this feature does. My assumption is that it forces TS to my external 1TB SSD. But, we all know what they say about "assuming" things.

I have been searching, but found nothing on this, can someone explain please?

Having freezing issues now, I did discover the resolution was switched during the upgrade to 1080p. I discovered that setting the screen resolution to 1080i stopped 99% of the freezing issues, I set it back. So far after a half hour it appears to have fixed the issue. Then the remote, I have to now get up and get within a few feet of the U5 box to get it to work. When I press the up or down arrow to scroll through menus it takes off, and keeps scrolling like it has a mind of its own until I get even closer to the box and press the center enter button. The batteries are at 86% and I am using Energizers. And yes, I went and paired the remote again, and then again. There are no BT devices between my sitting position and the U5 box. Very annoying.

UPDATE: I figured it out... And it was MY fault. I mixed a 5v power supply up with the 12v power supply. Most issues solved. Remote still has a life of its own when scrolling through the cheeseburger menu, it simply takes off and scrolls nonstop. And I just upgraded the new BuzzTV firmware. Getting periodic freezing now... Going to go make some more adjustments. Screen resolution went to 1080p and the auto switch to best resolution was turned on. I turned it off and set the screen resolution to 1080i. Will see if that works. That is how I fixed 99% of my freezing issues prior to this update. Will see how this goes and report back for those interested.

Reset the remote, now working...

HDMI cables, I have tried several, all cables are new in the past month

Now remote is not working... Damn!

Disabling CEC... Thanks.

What is a "pin" reset?

What is a "pin" reset?

I did the hard reset, would not except my wifi... I plugged in the ethernet and everything started to work off of the safe start. Then, I attempted to install my external hard drive, that is a no go. I turn off the U5, plug in the Samsung Evo external drive, turn on the U5, and it goes into a loop of showing the U5 logo and losing signal. I reset the hard drive to its factory state, thinking that may have been the issue, no change, just that loop and losing signal. Unplug the HD and everything now works... I guess I need to start another thread...

Doing the hard reset... Remote control is now unusable... Still turning on and off.

I know, something I am trying to avoid... The remote with this thing sucks, and entering in all of the server info is a royal PIA. And it took a good week to get the settings correct to make this thing work with any stability. Grrr...

It just did it again, this time it restarted itself watching one of the weather channels. TV went black, then the white BuzzTV logo popped up, swirling stuff and back to live TV. Getting very annoying.

I have had my U5 for a few weeks, finally got it running stable after many hours of tinkering. Everything has been good for roughly say 10 days, then the other day, I am sitting here watching and the U5 simply turns itself off. The light goes from blue to red. Then the BT remote is only working sporadically, also very annoying. It has fresh Energizer batteries in it, remote says the batteries are at 88%. Then when the U5 turns off, I have to unplug and plug it back in to fire it back up. The remote no longer works to turn it on, but will turn the TV off and on. The U5 box has plenty of airflow, nothing stacked on it, nothing hot next to it, it sits by itself on a shelf behind the TV, and the TV is a good foot away from the U5, as it is on a swivel mount and turned out and away. I have other BT controlled devices even deeper behind the TV, and they all work fine. Anyone having issues like this?
