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?
