I'm sorry, I was replying quickly to the questions asked me.

"Now when watching LiveTV on that box, if you go into Menu->settings->configuration, on the top you have the player for LiveTV, what is it set to ?  If you toggle it to the other option, does your IPTV still work ? "

The other option was "basic" and that did not allow IPTV to work.

sorry about the confusion

It's XC.

when I try to play back the recording then the box states not supported

I do all manual recording, rarely set it for later.

live TV is set to "primary". no, IPTV  does not work.

version 11

Sorry, that last sentence should say I'm "not" sure what other info I need to supply.

I record a movie then box states that recording is not supported. I have another Buzz X5 that works fine. Boxes have different providers. The box that records and plays is a one connection box and the box that I'm having problems with can be used on two boxes as long as only one box being used at a time. I'm sure what other info I need to supply.  Thanks for any help.

I believe you are correct about my internet provider, i'm going to call them right now.

Thank you very much for all the help, I learned a lot just from this one series of posts.

Finally,

Did the test downstairs in living room with 50 foot cable hooked into wifi box and go 44m. speed

Okay, give me some time to test my PC speeds

OKAY.

First test is laptop with wifi and no cable connection, got 12

second test is laptop with wifi and cable connected to wifi box and PC, got 43???????????????????????????????????????????????????

should I not be getting 43m downstairs on the buzz box I have hard wired with cable????????????????

and if I am getting 43m downstairs who is responsible for my bad streaming? Well, I guess I have to blame my IPTV provider. I do not see anyone else to blame. My internet provider is working good and so is my cable.

I really do not know anything how streaming works and I'm just following the testing to its logical conclusion.

Boy my typing is awful today

"hook up a wifi box and run out three IPTV boxes of of that."

this is supposed to be "run our" and "off of"

Sorry

Your first paragraph. No, I did not reboot modem. Yes, I remember the internet tech mentioning that; forgot all about it.

Your second paragraph. The modem was provided by my internet provider, the wifi box is a Netgear. DO NOT plug directly into modem, is that correct? So, it appears it does not good unplugging from the wifi since doing that exposes me.

Your third paragraph. Yes, decent download considering I have over a dozen gadgets on wifi; although all are not operating at the same time. My speed next to the wifi is 12M's and in the living room it is 10. I've read I need at least 30M to stream effectively.

Your last paragraph. Just a modem, wifi box is separate as I stated above.

Conclusion, since it appears I cannot disconnect the wifi without exposing myself I'm stuck with what I've got. I've purchased a wifi booster to see if that will solve the problem. The one option I was considering is to run another line from my internet provider, pay the extra $65 a month, hook up a wifi box and run out three IPTV boxes of of that. I pay for 150M service so 3 boxes should give me about 50M for each box which is well above what is required.

Googled and this is what I found.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol used to dynamically assign an IP address to any device, or node, on a network so it can communicate using IP.

So not knowing anything I'll take it for granted that the setting is Correct???

Additional info.

I looked in Settings - Network & Internet - Ethernet - IP Settings -

There are two options: DHCP and Static. It is st to DHCP (whatever that is???)

This is my setup. Modem - wifi box - buzz x5.

I can get tv when connected through my wifi box with the ethernet cable. Service is poor so I tried connecting straight to the modem and got nothing.

I spoke with my internet provider and he said the box may be looking for an IP address. It can get it from the wifi box but I may have to adjust some settings in my IPTV box so I can get a signal straight from the modem. He said the box is not asking the modem for any information.

Can someone provide me with complete instructions (if there are any) so the Buzz sees the Modem and my cable will again get a signal to the Buzz X5

Thank you.
